Month: September 2023

Never done this before. I work for a doctor who has a high reputation in his field. I don’t want to get blacklisted, but I can’t work there anymore.

I want to hear your take on this. She has decorated the VP’s office and thrown a mini party at work for him and another manager. She tries to befriend the bosses and get into their personal lives and she has. One of the top managers she works under is a girl. She is treated as a friend now. On one of her first days she told the boss how she loves her hair and to friend her on facebook. It gets a little tiring to hear these comments as they feel like blatant sucking up to help job security.

I find it concerning that layoffs seem to be happening so frequently these days. It used to be that companies would only resort to layoffs as a last option, but now it feels like they're using it as a quick fix to please shareholders. I believe there should be legal consequences for such practices. It would be great if unions were more prevalent in every industry to help protect the rights of employees.

Hello just need some advice I already apply unemployment benefit but they have to phone me interview soon so I'm not sure how this would go. Company was technically terminated me base on written and the HR call in told me leave the stuff behind, after I apply for unemployment the company send me the resignation letter but I haven't sign anything yet so should I let the EDD know about this ? , the funny thing is they terminated me but they revoke the termination and send me the resignation instead.

Yes, this is a completely serious question. I am a relatively new worker at this place and I’ve been working for about a month and still haven’t been paid. I also am in general very unhappy with the hours. I feel too bad quitting especially since they have me scheduled for other dates but idk. Is it illegal to send a text to my work group chat saying I was involved in a car accident and killed or is that too far /serious

Pretty much just a list of all the reasons I hated my last boss… 1) Changed my salary pay to hourly conveniently when my family had covid in 2020 and I had to miss 2 weeks of work. I only found out when I got a $0 paystub. When I talked to my boss about it, they told me “oh I changed you to hourly awhile ago”. 2) Required employees to claim unemployment at the height of the pandemic 2020 when businesses reopened and we were allowed to return to work. Had us work but stay clocked out. 3) When I signed up on the company insurance plan, told me to tell my dad “fuck you, thanks for costing me an extra $500 a month”, because my dad dropped me from his plan (for other reasons I’m not going into, but it wasn’t his fault) 4) I had a vacation…

So basically, I was supposed to start this new job tomorrow but I decided I wanted to start earlier, so after a discussion with my then current employer and the new company, they said I could start Tuesday of this week. I was told it would be 3 days of training at the facility. I received no communication on to what my schedule was like for the rest of the week or even if I was supposed to work. Well, I made plans for Saturday and Sunday. They just texted me telling me my first day is going to be tomorrow at 10am and that I work Saturday. The schedules for the following week come out on Sundays. I told them I wouldn’t be available Saturday and Sunday since I have prior engagements and they didn’t communicate with me with enough notice. Pics are screenshots of how the conversation went…

Man the last few nights have been rough… chronic insomnia has finally caught up with me big-time. I've managed 4 hours sleep the last few nights and dragged myself through my shifts feeling like absolute garbage. And here I am at almost 4am with work (or not) in 3 hours, no sleep, no sign of any impending, laying in bed resenting the amount of overtime they put on us to cover 3 years of non-stop shortcomings. But for some reason I soldiered on and done my bit to help the public. Because that's who I am, but it's time to help myself. Nah I'm not going in. Or the day after that. Or the day after that one. And no more overtime, money ain't buying my happiness. Roll on 6am when my supervisors phone is turned on
