Not sure if this type of post is appropriate here, but I figured some others here might have experience with the same thing. A little over a year ago, my mom quit her shitty job as a 911 operator for a state university and moved to do emergency intake at a hospital. This hospital is part of a medical group that we have been a part of for awhile. A couple of months ago, her workplace announced that in order for their insurance to cover prescriptions for employees and their families, the scrips have to be ordered through the group’s mail order pharmacy. Now, I’ve had prescriptions filled through the mail order pharmacy before, and they suck. Late prescriptions, no way to track, awful website, etc. I usually pick up my meds from the pharmacy on my campus (I live out of state away from my parents). So, I had…

As the title states, fuck em. My prior post here clarifies that I was fired for “insubordination” for refusing straight-up dangerous work almost entirely untrained and that went against multiple safety guidelines. Come to find out, buried deep in my documents I signed when I was a contractor, before I got hired (which I read thoroughly when hired, I figured why not get paid for the whole day instead of bust through everything quick and get home at the time) is a fucking arbitration agreement. Attorney has looked it over entirely and there's no way out really. This is the same company that gave me on-the-job panic attacks, anxiety, stress, I bawled my eyes out in front of other employees because I constantly felt like I was trapped in doing dangerous work I had pointed out numerous times to the supervisors as being dangerous, against the rules, and uncomfortable doing.…

I've been put of work for a while now I fell ass backwards into my last one with my application being the only one since the company used extremely outdated methods for advertising, but I've noticed something. Ive sent out hundreds of applications most are lost in the flood as soon as the application process opens some are responded to that I was passed up or the position has been filled but the overwhelming majority of them were turn downs and when talking to some people I know work in hr specifically hiring, the ” required work experience” is always far above what's logical for the position Entry level jobs “require 3 TO 5 YEARS PROIOR EXPERIENCE” How the actual hell am I supposed to find a job to pay for college debt pay for my gas pay for my health care. I'm fucked and I'm mad about it now,…

Hello there, Long time lurker, first time to post here. I need some advice so I thought this would be the place. So I work for one of the biggest healthcare companies in my state. They own most of the hospitals, care facilities and many pharmacies. I work in one of their pharmacies but my job title really isn’t important to this story and to stay anonymous, I won’t say more on that. Anyway, two weeks ago on April 20th, I got a call at work that an immediate family member I was very close to suddenly passed away. This family member and the majority of my family live in another state across the country. I was distraught and left work early with my bosses permission. The next day, I wasn’t in any state to return to work and was aware of a bereavement policy my work offers. The policy…

here’s the context: i get 14 an hour, i’m 19, and i work 39h a week. i’ve been working here since january and is the easiest job i’ve had. i get no pto, 401k, no health benefits, nothing. now, my bosses, who are the store owners, are taking family leave for about a week or two since they’re having a baby. and me and my boss were talking about it, and she mentioned that they might put me on salary while they’re gone. what? did i hear that right? you want to put me on salary? me? a person who gets 14 an hour, and no benefits? if they do that, they’re doing it to avoid giving me overtime pay. so not only would i be salary for a week or two, i’d be getting more underpaid than i already am. i’m not fucking having it. i think she saw…
