My third day on the job and I just got a verbal warning for using the bathroom…. I literally have a disability that doesn’t allow me to hold my pee for more than a few minutes. This is ridiculous and I don’t understand how amazon gets away with this shit
My kids have always had dental insurance. They’ve always had check ups twice a year, maybe once this last year because adulting is hard. 21 year old needs at least two root canals. It’s all good. I have great dental insurance – great compared to most Americans. Goes for cavity fill. No pain. Needs two crowns because the teeth are infected so badly. Dentist bends over backwards to fit child in for root canals because they leave for Israel in three days Remaining benefits for the year $293. Makes appointment with dentist in DC because temp crowns need replaced asap, not in August when they return from their internship. Paid $1900 yesterday out of pocket for two crowns. Honestly feel good that I was able to pay most of that and take good care of my kiddo’s teeth. On the way home from the dentist my kiddo called to tell…
I work in management for a fast food chain. Every year they hold Family Day and all the managers in the region meet up to shake each other's hands and stroke each other's egos. It's always out of state and they pay for a hotel room for one night. I've managed to get out of going since I've been a manager but last year my district manager told me that I can't miss it again. So they announced the date and location for it and it's on a weekend that my s/o has a class he has to attend (that he paid for). We only have the one vehicle between the two of us and I can't take it cause he's going to need it. That and being as he is my only family I don't want to attend “family day” without him. I'm going to have to tell my…
Why is this a-hole still treated as an inovator and a business genius? He just does the worst version of capitalism.
Don't know if this is the proper subreddit to post it, but I will give it a try. Little backstory: I work in a kitchen, from months I work alone in my section (while all other section have 2 people working) because the HR can't find someone to help me (I'm in the UK). I have a disability (lost part of my right shoulder when I was young, had a new one after a surgery) and sometimes it hurts bad. This morning I could not help myself but calling seek: beside my shoulder, I walked so much last night during my shift that my legs were aching and shaking when I was walking home, this morning I can't take a step without having cramps. Plus, my shoulder hurts. Today is supposed to be a busy day, but in this condition I could not handle another day of my sous chef…
The purpose of a job description is to attract employees who are willing to perform the specified tasks. Job descriptions aren't supposed to be a vague guidelines to force employees to be wage slaves. If you want someone to do something: dangerous, disgusting, terrifying, or anything else unappealing, pay them more money. You want me to show up? Pay me a basic amount of money. You want me to do what you tell me to do? Pay me enough to cover the gas, the food I had to eat, the clothes I have to wear, the money it took to make those clothes presentable, and enough money to cover basic living without amenities. You want me to do what I am not willing to do? Pay me enough money to put a smile on my face every once and a while. Finally, you want me to smile for people who…
I make $19/HR gross, ≈$600-$625/week after tax I currently work in a kitchen for my aunt-in-“law” (unit manager). I am her top employee, much to my distaste saying so. I am her “yes man” to any work that has been left over from previous shifts (24 hr restaurant). I have been life-partners with my GF (boss’ niece) for almost 8 years. She has multiple medical conditions that render her ≈75% dependent on me for basic life tasks and support since the family is in denial of her proven/documented medical conditions and the severity of her illness (post history). Because I work around 42-45 hours a week, take her to 1-4 doctor appointments a week; and provide constant emotional, financial, and physical support I am absolutely drained. My GF lives with her aunt. I had to switch days with another coworker (one time) in order to make it to an appointment.…
