The reason why I support antiwork.
The previous organization that I worked in didn't pay my FnF until after 3 months of my last day at work. And now it has been 4 months and they are not providing my Experience Letter. They reject my calls, don't reply to my emails. My current company has started asking me for these Documents, otherwise, I may be fired. I can't file a legal complaint because it will affect my future. I have served 3 Months of my official notice period. I am also a trader mostly stocks and crypto, so thinking of quitting the job. Any suggestions.
My grandpa's brother is 76 and has really worn bottom teeth. He was telling me today that the dentist wants to charge 50k to have them all capped. I could help my self and just yelled “wtf”. It just discusts me how predatory American health care is. I honestly haven't had health insurance in about 7 years and feel it's pointless as if I get seriously Injured that basically my life is over. Although I've always felt that if I did get hurt bad I'd just duck tap my self together and spend the money to go to a different country to get fixes up. Anyway I had to rant because it was annoying me so much today. I'm gonna take a deep breath now and go to bed haha.
I have already accepted the job, started working, on the payroll, etc. when they email me and say my one reference isn't good enough, I need 3, even though it isn't required. I told them “is this a personal or legal preference? Why is it being asked of me when I already started the job?” And they said “well actually it's fine if you don't want to add more.” I asked why they needed this when I already started the job, and they said “for the application.” What on gods green earth is the reasoning… I don't even like this job. So I told them no I'm not bothering/wasting more reference letters for a mediocre job that pays under what i need to save money in my city.
Anyone else relate?
Imo Working in retail sucks because you can be an exceptional worker who goes out of their way for others, is respectful, and never makes problems, but your bosses use you because they know you wont say no and hold you to a higher standard then themselves. And they can sit on their asses making more than you while micromanaging you and patronizing you like you are of lower importance. Fuck my managers honestly. Also, they act like my occasional mess ups are a huge deal and act threatening and all by the book for me. But they never make any deal when they mess up and no one says anything because they are the boss. Oh, and they will ask for favors because they don't feel like doing their job and walk around like they are so busy when all they do is ask others to do work for…
I want to share what happen to me this week since it was a little bit traumatizing. After an interview, where I don't hide the fact that yes, I have lot of different experiences with kids, but no real formation, I spend 3 hours as an observer in the nursery. After the 3 hours, I'm still honest, and I admit that I'm not feeling ready to take care of 8 kids by myself. Not only it's a lot of responsibility, but I'm a bit of an anxious person and it's just too much noise and people for me. The director insist that I can do it, that she believe in me and that I'm anxious because it's a new job, but it will pass. Monday, I haven't receive any training from them, I don't know the kid's names, they didn't told me that I had to prepare an activity, I…
