“People ask what you do for a living so they can calculate the level of respect to give you.” As an unemployed musician, facing repeated job rejections, I read this quote a year ago and out of frustration for all creatives who are told their passion has no value, wrote his song.

Hospital gate keep workers and allow rich workers to return to work, while using fear and intimidation to capture the wealth of poor workers all to increase corporate profits.

I am a bit of a troll on Reddit, I have been through a lot of therapy and am working to improve how I interact on the subs. I actively evaluate how I interact and try to be a better community member, and at times am incredibly critical of Reddit fucks who employ tactics and try to take power from other and limit the speech of other on this amazingly beautify experiment of a platform. I am fiercely passionate about worker right tho, the rebirth of the American Dream and will always support an individual’s personal liberty and right to participate. I truly love people and want a better American experience and experiment. It is time for a better America. I apologize for the writing, try to make it through it. This post fits here, IMO, as insurance to maintain one’s health is vital at this point for participation in…

Forced to use PTO on days I leave early for medical appointments (I’m exempt, not hourly)

I'm a nurse in Oregon. I am a full-time exempt/salaried employee at a major hospital. A perk of being exempt (or so I thought) is that I am paid for a full day of work regardless if I have to leave a little early to make an appointment. There is even a policy at my work place that exempt employees aren't even allowed to use PTO on partial work days. However, my manager has recently been adjusting my timecard and docking my PTO for days I have left early for my medical appointments (I have had a lot recently). Is this even legal? Has anybody else had to deal with this scenario before?

Lost my job for using the sick time given to me

I recently had a terrible case of the flu. I updated my bosses everyday. They said I was using my sick time. When I came in on the day I told them I would be returning they gave me a final check and said I missed too much work. It's like all of the contact with them never happened.

Some posts feel like CIA

Makes this is going off the deep end here, but has anyone noticed that every couple days we get a post that seems to serve only to discredit the poster? It'll be something like “I used to be anti-work, but now I make $15 an hour and so I don't believe in it anymore” or maybe something like “how many people are antiwork just because they're lazy? How about on drugs?” Exaggerating a little here but I always see posts that feel to me like some boomer in the CIA intern office making fake posts, “passive prop” so to speak. What do you guys think?

What better way to celebrate “Employee Appreciation Day” for a company of over 600 by sending out an email with a thumbs up and a smiley face that only 25% of employees will even see (no email accounts)

Talk about disparity and hopelessness

Working in India as a indirect employee for an aerospace giant based in a first world country. After working for five years, I can proudly say that my achievements are a 530$/month salary, 25kg weight gain and acute hypertension. While doing half the work that I do, the people sitting in the parent company earn 12X of what I get, with countless other benefits, I sit here pity over the new mentees that I'm training, alas what their futures will be. Utterly hopeless situation.
