Burner account so I can keep my job long enough to find a new one. I work for a fairly new company. It's just me, my manager, and a couple other people trying to get this thing off the ground. I originally took the job because it paid well, and I was doing my manager a favor. He's a family friend, and I was happy to help him out. We'll call him Dan. My job has quickly grown beyond just “helping out”, and while I'm grateful for the opportunity to grow with the company, Dan's idea of jobsite training is “figure it out.” For context, I work in an office job. I have no business training (other than a few basic courses I took on my own time), and even though I've been to uni, my degree is in a completely different field. I can say with confidence I have no idea…

I work in legal aid and occasionally we will help people who have been denied unemployment insurance benefits (UIB). Our client had been working at a hospital for a couple of years and was fired for missing too many days. Ok, fair enough. However for the days that she missed, she provided a dr's note (every time). The last time she missed work was because she was admitted to a hospital, the one she works at, for an infection and covid. She let her boss know that she was in the hospital and provided a note from the hospital, that she both worked at and was admitted to. to her boss. When she returned to work she was fired for absences and denied unemployment for “misconduct”. I told her to request a hearing. We did ten minutes of research to find (what we already knew) that, missing work because you…

Everyone on this sub (including myself) is angry at the current capitalist society of the world right now. I say what we should all do is rise up. I'm talking mass strikes, quitting, boycotting, the whole shabang. Together we can all take these large corporate conglomerates down a peg. So instead of just talking about the issue here. Rise against it all comrades, and then they'll listen. Basically rise up against the capitalist pigs before they suck all of the life and will out of us!!!!

Asking age, if you're on food stamps and want ur social all in application.

So I had an interview at company X, the interview went great. I told them I had over 20 years of experience for the position they were hiring for. How I attained multiple awards throughout my career and how most people love to work with me and know that I’m a very hard worker. I asked if they can start me at $19 per hour. The interviewer thanked said they could only start me at $12 per hour. My thoughts were “They just lost this candidate, I’m going to troll them since they just insulted me. By starting me at the minimum wage of my state.” I proceeded to do all the onboarding forms except for the tax information. I also did the background check. I emailed it back to them, the manager called me saying that me background is clean and asking if I could start the next day.…

I just need to make it 8 more weeks and then I'm going on leave for a few months. I figure during leave I can recharge and also brainstorm a long term solution, but in the meantime I just need some quick opiates so that I can make it to the finish line. I'm practically a zombie these days. Also I have ADHD if that's relevant. I am medicated but lately the stimmies aren't doing enough. I need more efficient ways to load up on enough dopamine to be productive.

Boss keeps saying that every morning According to his mental breakdown today no one wants to work anymore and this generation doesn't know the value of hard work therefore the world is doomed and he gives up “Back in my day there was no day off or sick days we were ready to work day & night and our job was our priority” He's been divorced 4 times and disowned 2 of his 5 kids so i always find the “prioritizing our job” statement quite ironic

I live in a state that does NOT require a 15 min break on either side of lunch. Here's the verbal warning I got today… “OP, Following up on our conversation today, I wanted to recap what we discussed. Break times are consistently exceeding 20 minutes per day. While we allow everyone to take breaks throughout the day, they must be reasonable. There have been eight instances of breaks exceeding 20 min this month and 52 instances year-to-date, totaling nearly 35 hours this year. This is considered time theft and must be stopped immediately. Any further discrepancies will result in disciplinary actions, up to and including termination. If you have any question, feel free to reach out. -Manager” None of those times exceeded 25 minutes and are per day – not me stepping away for 20 minutes. Edit: To be more specific, I'm looking for ideas. A response does not…
