So my engineering contract was up for renewal. They assured me all was well. Everything was taken care of I didn’t have to do anything. My pharmacy bill was rejected so I called and they said your health insurance didn’t go through. I call the shitty health insurance company they say you were canceled as of May 31st. I call my contractor and they said I was accidentally terminated. After I billed 40 hours for the week. Of course, it all happens at 4:00 on a Friday when it’s too late to fix anything. So I guess I’m unemployed and uninsured until Monday.

I just returned to my job after a month of necessary medical leave. While I was on leave I interviewed with another company and got the official offer today, so I gave my notice immediately. I was only able to give a week, as the new job wants me to start a week from Monday. My boss responded to it by coming unhinged and questioning my medical leave, which I felt was extremely inappropriate. My question is, is it illegal for him to harass me about my medical leave? Do I have any sort of case against him for either HR or a lawyer to look into? Any advice would be appreciated. I know I'm on my way out of the company but I don't want him to keep going unchecked and treating other people similarly horrible. Edit: I'm in California, if that effects the labor law aspects of the…

Saw this question on Quora and want to post this here. I currently work as a security guard and I feel like I only work for 30 minutes a day in a 8 hour shift. I work at a utilities site where my duties are to patrol the area which takes me 10 minutes to do. I also let trucks in at the main gate and I recieve 3 to 5 trucks a week where I have to open the gate for them. The rest of the time I'm sitting in my shack with nothing to do. I play on my phone, brought my Steam Deck, Switch Lite, and 3ds to pass the time. Anyone else have a really chill job?

I’m fucking sick of this shit. Pay is enough to live off of 40 hours or get fucked needs to be the bare minimum. I don’t even know why i bother. I might as well kill myself cause I ain’t doing this shit for sustenance the next 40 years if all I have to show for it is nothing

Hi all, I’ve posted on this sub before and you all were extremely helpful (thank you and shoutout to the millennials). As a recap, I’m 22 and just got a full time position at a company where there’s always volunteer stuff going on, people asking for donations, mandatory learning modules, and “fun” activities. I don’t mind some of these things (minus constantly being asked for money), as long as they’re within working hours. Recently, my company created a competition where everyone can track their daily physical activity and put it into a public log for points. My department decided to join as a team, but whether I enrolled or not wouldn’t make a difference for their score whatsoever. My coworkers are in there late 30s and 40s and seem pretty into it, but I honestly don’t care to join or participate. I know it’s a small task but I still…

about a month ago, i (21F) started a job as an auto technician at a large chain. i thought i genuinely loved my job until this morning, when i asked my employer to change one day on my availability. i had my availability set 6 days a week, open until close, with thursdays off for a consistent date to schedule my appointments. i was being scheduled 6 days a week and it was okay until my grandmother fell very ill and we don’t know if she has much time left. i asked my boss to change my availability to include wednesdays off and tried to explain my situation. he cut me off and said “no.” and told me “i was hired in at this availability”. i started getting emotional so i excused myself and had a panic attack in the bathroom. my boss heard me crying through the door and…

I posted this in response to another post complaining about a boss who talked religion and politics at work. I think it will provide some perspective to wage earners and help them understand a big difference between the work-lives of labor and management. Enjoy. Some American corporations “offshore” recruitment, screening, and hiring of candidates in certain job classifications. They do this to skirt US employment regulations that can shield bad apples. Unsurprisingly, organizations know that fascists, racists, misogynists, theists, anti-vaxxers and their like are detrimental to morale and productivity in the workplace. They're far more likely to be troublemakers. Ask any HR professional what causes the majority of personnel conflict cases, and that list or one very similar will be their answer. The practice is expensive and time consuming, so it is generally confined to mid- and (mostly) upper-management salaried positions. If you are a front-line, lower level wage earner…
