A “pest control company” which advertised this as a wildlife service technician.

When I talk to older people something they tell me is that while there have been plenty disagreements over politics, it was civil for the most part. The media may make fun of the opposition party or call names. but there was no real seriousness in them. But nowadays it's all black or white without nuance. Let's take LGBTQ for an example. I'm confident that for 99.9% people, they simply have better things to care about than who two grown ups date. But I feel like both sides make it a bigger deal than it really is. Even anti-LGBTQ people won't care unless you force them to accept opposite belief. Gun politics? Why politicians won't propose Czech style gun laws is beyond me. I don't have the time to get into details, but as long as you have appropriate license, you actually have more freedom regarding what…
I work in a resort and there's a convention taking place in a few days. A coworker was checking in this group of cosplayers and we got into a conversation about anime and cons. We ended up exchanging social medias and a coworker told me it was against policy and that I'd be fired for it. This led me to having a panic attack in the back room for nearly an hour where I broke down to my supervisor. She told me since I didn't know better I won't be in trouble… THIS time. But also that it's considered fraternizing, even though our policy also states that it's okay to date within your own department. Go figure. I like to think I'm a genuine person, it's part of why my customer service is just naturally good. And I'm bound to click with people and our interests, so if anything making…
https://www.oregonlive.com/news/2023/05/3-former-and-current-employees-sue-multnomah-county-library-for-race-discrimination.html I know my story is not about race, but I can verify they have shit practices. Was fired for “third strike” rule, when I had not previously been informed of any strikes against me. I'm certain one of those strikes was for leaving when my shift ended, and not staying to close. When that happened, no one locked the door and it was left open all night. When confronted, I told them I am under no obligation to stay after my shift ends. Before that event, I was asked things like, “Do you have a bus to catch?” when I made to leave for the day. So wrong. I told them if you need to have someone stay, you need to post the shift as ending after the time they close (typically 10-15 minutes after closing time). Employees need to get paid to deal with the stragglers that move…

Sad plant manager.
Our manufacturing facility wanted to start a second shift for a new high volume contract we got. The problem was that they didn't have a technician that they could trust to watch over and help the new hire operators. Seeing an opportunity to advance, I volunteered to spear head the second shift and get things going. Needless to say management was overjoyed at this prospect. I asked to be titled as a shift leader along with a two dollar increase. They gave a hard no to giving me any type of official title and offered a one dollar raise. I countered with asking for another dollar after the first of the year and they agreed. Now I asked if we needed to put it in writing or if I could trust them. I know I should have gotten it in writing but I was more testing their integrity at this…

A bachelor degree (plus 3 years experience) for $13k/year?!
I fucking hate my job. I also hate my dumb ass boss who hired me for her shithole department full of useless idiot morons knowing she was going on maternity leave.

Leaving fucking paragraphs full of directions that don’t make any fucking sense. Fuck this place
A little background, I’m a firefighter/ paramedic and I work 48-72 hours a week at the fire-station. I recently started working as a trauma nurse at our main hospital, another 36 hrs a week on top of my Fire gig. I often work 36 hr shifts going from one to the other. I recently finished my orientation and at the end I tried to open the conversation about using a few days of PTO in August now that I am eligible. My boss basically said I was selfish and I wasn’t being a team player for asking for PTO while we’re short staffed. She also pointed out how she doesn’t have to schedule me around my fire schedule and she can schedule me however she wants. She tried to manipulate me emotionally by saying all the other nurses would have to take additional patients while I was gone (when i…
