I work at a government hospital as a contractor, and they just published their new dress code policy based on the government official policy. I straight away noticed the following: Must wear pants or a skirt not shorter than the knees. No gender is mentioned throughout the document… That means that I (41yo male) can come to work wearing my kilt? Edit: I must state that I'm not of Scottish heritage, but I do own a kilt.

I went from being an on-site office worker to a WFH contractor with the same company, as I moved about 2 hours away (50 miles one way). My contract ends soon and I am wondering when it comes to returning company equipment, is it up to me to make the drive back /pay for shipping or is it on them to send me shipping materials and postage? Who’s responsible? I really fn don’t want to drive 4 hours and 100 miles just for that.

I work a at home call center job, taking calls for patients and scheduling them for doctor's appointments. The job is ridiculous at times, and when the calls are coming in back to back they only give you 9 seconds in between calls. Now this barely gives you enough time to even take a sip of water before needing to take the next call, but doesn't take into account all the documentation you have to do during and or after the call. So if a patient calls and has something that you need to make a message for the doctor, it can be a very lengthy process. But if you put yourself into what's called extended wrap up, you won't get any calls but you are considered “out of adherence.” This counts against you as you have to be at 90% adherence or higher. So just to do your job…

That people who make 3x or more in an hour what the average employee makes in a week, will make these grand gestures of virtue signaling (ie. Promoting a bake sale at their company to raise money for cancer kids) but will then turn around an tell employees they are expected to supply the baked goods to be sold at their own expense and act like you're the bad guy if its not within your budget to do so? Like when did it become the employees responsibility to provide the extras an employer has promised to the public?

So for starters, I am a HS student (18) and am working a part time job, so I'm not very concerned about this ruining my life, but I wanted to see what some of you guys have to say about the situation. So I work a 15.00/hour restaurant job where they have a very strict attendance policy, and I am now one sick day away from being fired. A few months ago I submitted a request for about three weeks unpaid off to go on a family trip. This request was approved by my general manager (let's call them Not Nice Manager, or NNM for short). NNM had approved it so I thought that was that. A few weeks before I left on my trip I noticed that I had been scheduled to work during my ATO by NNM. I had no shifts with them so I emailed them about…

I'm very angry about this and going to try to be careful to not reveal too many details. Don't think any labor laws or rules have been broken. Just a heinous insult. My wife is a barista at a coffee shop in a grocery store. Co worker had to call out sick and my wife was the only employee left. Was told to stay and man it until the next shift takes over (~5ish hours). She was compensated with a $3 coupon to the grocery store. Like I get bad day/bad luck but for the place to provide a $3 coupon is plain insulting.
