I just got hired to an Airbnb housekeeping service. I've been cleaning on my own for a few years. This is my first job with a company. I'm not sure if this is a firing… Another coworker informed me and sent me pictures of the property I was assigned to, rats nests and droppings/urine, water damage, extreme mold smell. I asked to be reassigned or given PPE to clean this particular house. This is the response I was given. Wtf. How is being a small startup an excuse to putting your employees in a dangerous situation. I'm just in shock. I'm really unsure of how to proceed.

So I've been working for one of the major US supermarket chains. It is supposedly planning to pay cut the manager above me, and force them to do the same work for $5+/hr less. The department is understaffed as it is. I am planning to leave around the same time they do, as I don't want to do triple the work for weeks while they hire a new manager. Chaos will ensue, as the company are so greedy that they won't hire anyone to replace employees that leave, so every department is short staffed. The moment we go, expect empty shelves and angry customers, as no one else knows the department who isn't already too busy with their own. The company fully deserves chaos for sure. They are on this other planet where they think they can find people to do manager jobs at the pay rate of the lowest…

is that you could take a sliver of the executives' salaries and bonuses and distribute them for a raise to the workers. It would change the lives of so many of us, and yet, if you didn't tell them, the execs wouldn't even notice. Yet asking for just that is too much and not cost-effective. Was told that myself from my job.

This is amazing. I'm afraid of rebooting it, lest it'd start locking me again and force me to retype my 20-character long password (yes, that's the minimum password required in our company). I work from home 3/5 days a week, and this has been a blessing. I got to rest for a bit, walk toe dog, cook etc. Nice.

I'm sure a lot of you here will agree on this with me. When I was younger I didn't think much of it, but now that I'm older and realize how weird work scenarios are and how much interviews are extremely silly and just feed into this delusion that humans are made to compete with each other in order to achieve some sort of goal that humans themselves made up instead of learning how to co-exist. The fact that some of them will have more than one step of interview, that you have to do group interviews that might leave you feeling bad if you didn't get the job or good if you do, because you were “better” than those other people. If we actually had the CHOICE we wouldn't even be at the interview the fact that we have to pretend that we're interested in a scenario that grants…

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires employers to provide all workers — including transgender employees — with prompt access to a clean restroom. Additional requirements related to restroom facilities and bathroom break policies are outlined in OSHA's sanitation standards (29 CFR 1910.141, 29 CFR 1926.51 and 29 CFR 1928.110). These standards aim to protect workers from health complications that can occur when a bathroom is not readily available, such as bladder problems, bowel issues and urinary tract infections. While OSHA sanitation standards offer a basic overview of the key requirements employers must meet, the administration does not recommend any specific restroom policies. Employers should create their own written policies that comply with OSHA's standards. Under OSHA sanitation standards, employers must: Permit workers to leave their work area to use the restroom as needed Provide an acceptable number of restrooms for the current workforce Avoid putting unreasonable restrictions on…

I'm a 20 year old female. I'm currently an Intern for a small business company and it is my first work experience. You can literally just guess the dress code for a typical formal office clothes stuffs for workers. So, one day I met my boss as we were all about to go out for a meeting which was 20 minutes by car. We were waiting for our cars to arrive by the entrance of our building to go the meeting. He suddenly commented about how I should learn on how to be like a 'lady' from one of my female colleague. I looked at him weirdly of course? I looked at myself up and down to see what I was wearing since I was confused as to why he would say that in the first place? I was wearing a long sleeved, button down blouse with some wide pants…
