Horrible Hospital Policy

I’m not entirely sure if this fits here but it has me really pissed off. My brother in law is currently on the oncology floor at the hospital I work at, dying from throat cancer. I’m a float which means I go to whatever unit is short staffed for the night. I regularly work on the oncology unit. APPARENTLY we are not allowed to visit patients at work. I did not know this as I am 3rd shift and we are generally out of the loop on new policies. Visiting hours are only 4-7 and you can only have the same one visitor so he’s basically dying alone. I was just up there on my break hanging out with him and he was just so happy to see me and his nurse made me leave. This honestly makes my blood fucking boil. I emailed my manager explaining the situation and…

A glimmer of hope (long post)

Hello all, my name is Jaiden and I have a job that I actually quite like. The point of me making this post is to spread just a little bit of hope if I can, to help all of you know that even though they're rare, good work enviroments still exist in the us. I also want to point out right away that i will not be naming my place of work, so be assured that this isn't any sort of advertising. The situation of me coming to work here was a bit dark, at the time I was in a very bad place to the point where I was seriously contemplating ending it all. I had just come out of a job at dollar tree, where i was often expected to run the entire store by myself while the manager sat on her ass “doing paperwork” for her entire…

20 hours of work is too much for a worker with the lowest wages

An email exchange I had back in December with a company that missed the interview, and then claimed I had missed it. These corporations have no respect for our time.

Is it even legal to not hire family referrals?

I have an aunt that works in a factory that's always hiring. I need the money so she told me about this place. I went right over and talked to the hiring manager and told him even though it was an entry level position I had lots of experience already. The interview was flawless and I was certain I'd be hired. Then at the end I said I was excited to be working there and thanks to Kelsey (my aunt) for letting me know about the job. Then the hiring manager immediately frowned and said “oh I didn't know you had family working here” he proceeded to tell me that they don't hire family because they had experienced when maybe two brothers worked there and one got fired for whatever reason, then the other quit. Idk if this is discrimination or what. I'm just wondering. Sorry if this isn't exactly…

Holy Roley Poley Oley, what reality do we live in?!

I have yet to post some of the many stories I have about my job at non-descript Pizza place, and now I'm breaking that norm because my mind broke in multiple ways today… My district manager has been working in our store with us recently because we lost our gm (he quit because he was being taken advantage of on a level that infuriated me as his friend, for a better job). Our DM has been managing this chain for many years, and in her tenure she had closed almost every store we have because she is grossly incompetent and an incredibly greedy “business/ franchise owner/ partner” ( idk wtf she really is besides dumb). Anyways, tonight, super bowl Sunday, where we were expecting a ton of business, she was in the store because someone called out. She decided to call in another employee, an assistant manager, to come in…

Know your worth, your contract and use every opportunity you can.

This might not fit perfectly with the sub but I wanted to post about my experience working for just 1 care home, it's a lot but it's still not anywhere near everything. I was on an early shift (7am-2pm) and the manager was complaining because she didn't do the rota correctly, but hid away in the office till after we left so we couldn't see the new rota until she had gone home (so we couldn't complain about the worst shifts possible, or illegal shifts) so at 13:50 I said to everyone on my shift let's leave at 2 on the dot and get out asap as they're short staffed and make her do the shift, I ran straight to the pub on the corner and waited for my call, she was fucking furious about everyone already ignoring/being too busy and when I told her “I can't, I'm in the…
