I’m blue, boss is red

I hate when people make rules and policies that are strictly for appearances. If I'm cashiering and there is literally nobody in the store, why can't I read a book or listen to a video? Why can't I sit down? Who am I bothering?? I can't sit idle that long. “Busy work” is so dumb. Let people do something actually productive. How much time is wasted doing meaningless tasks or standing around for the sake of it? Nobody cares!! I'm not even going to notice! As long as you do your job when there are customers, why does it matter?? Sigh.

I work for a big government agency. In stand-up yesterday, our boss told us the VP had been approached by HR saying “someone in his organization” was abusing their WFH privileges to goof off. (The VP organization is about one to two hundred people in technology roles). This was based on an “anonymous letter” sent to HR accusing an unidentified person. As a result, our group's WFH status is imperiled, and we're getting extra weird restrictions (like turning on camera during Zoom is now mandatory). I'll never know, but would anybody want to bet on whether this is a false flag attack?

My partners company is letting them go and they have ben offered to finish out this month and get October paid without working or finish out till December then done. i guess it’s just kinda odd way of being let go and on one hand it’s get paid an extra two months or get 1 month paid off. any thoughts?

Not sure if this is the right place for this so please delete if not. Im from the UK and started working in a supermarket (won’t say the company) in 2018 part time. In 2019 I switched to a seasonal contract as I started university. Fast forward to now and I was planned to start a new job in august this year. So I took the summer off and I haven’t worked a shift in retail at all this year. However as far as I am aware I was still under contract with them and on their system. I went into the store early in July and handed in my notice of me leaving just to make sure I get taken off their system etc. They said that’s fine and they will take me off the system. However, this store has a habit of keeping people in the system who…

Not sure if this is the correct sub for this post but I'm hoping for some advice. I am a nurse and recently got re-hired at a hospital I used to work at. As I was going through the onboarding process, I went to sign up for benefits and the company website gave me an error message basically saying: “authentication error – contact your system administrator”. I am unable to sign up for benefits or even direct deposit as it is all through the same site. I messaged our on-call HR service letting them know, and they told me to contact IT. So I called IT, who then forwarded me back to HR saying they weren't able to fix it on their end. I then emailed both my boss and HR together notifying them of the issue saying that IT and HR referred me to each other. My boss then…

I'm just at my wits end with America. I've been working since highschool and I have nothing to show for it. I'm 27 and still live at home. When I graduated college ofc I had debt, and I thought getting a good job would solve all my problems, NOPE! I was able to live on my own around 2018-19 but then I had to move back home and I feel like I've been stuck here ever since. I stay with my mom, she's honestly a huge bitch and narcissists and I do my best to keep my distance and ignore her. But I'm just feeling so hopeless lately because it feels like any job I get I won't be able to afford to move out. I finally got that $45k a year job we were told to aim for. But I still couldnt move out and my mental health has…
