I signed a one-year contract with a staffing agency to work for a company in my area. The job description stated that the position is “designated as Hybrid and will be required to work two days a week in onsite.” The company is now requiring employees to go into the office three days a week. I haven’t heard anything from my agency regarding this change and I really do not want to go in an extra day. I intend to reach out to my recruiter but before I do, does anyone have any advice for me on how to handle it? Thanks in advance!

I work for a small fast food chain and requested a week off, 2 months in advance, however I'm being told I'm not allowed that week off because apparently “4 other employees” have requested that week off. i feel like I'm being lied to by my managers because this happened before. Are they allowed to do this? as I'm entitled to my holidays and it's okay for my manager to take 3 weeks off at a time but god forbid I request 5 days off.

I've been stuck at the same shit gas station job for the last 2 years. Can't get my social security card because I don't have identification, but I can't get my birth certificate because I don't know my father's information. Colorado a closed record state, so they won't tell me his name. I also live out of state, making it even harder to get. As they only do online orders, I can't fill out or in person appointments. I'm basically a slave at my job. I'm unable to quit, or I'd be homeless and other places won't hire me without documentation I see no way out unless I get my birth certificate. I can't even get a new ID if I lost mine because I wouldn't be able to provide proof I am me. I understand how hard it is to be homeless and get a job. I have an…

​ TLDR at the bottom! ​ Me: if a society priorities the welfare of all its members, is capitalism the best model to achieve this? ChatGPT: Capitalism, by its nature, prioritizes individual ownership and profit-seeking, which can lead to income inequality and uneven distribution of resources in a society. While a capitalist system can generate wealth and economic growth, it may not be the most effective model to ensure the welfare of all members of society. However, some proponents of capitalism argue that a well-regulated capitalist system with strong social safety nets can achieve both economic prosperity and social welfare. Ultimately, the effectiveness of capitalism or any economic model in achieving the welfare of all members of a society depends on a range of factors, including the level of regulation, access to resources, and the values and priorities of the society. Me: can you give an example of any country…

Title says it all

Hello, ​ I've recently accepted a new position at my current job (PA), and we have been given our schedules all the way through the month of August. I'm curious as to whether or not this is okay to do. We we're kind of kept in the dark as far as when changes were coming, when positions would shift, and so on. ​ I know PA requires a 24 hr minimum as far as notifying employees about shift changes, and that schedules should normally be written two weeks out. Is there a maximum though? Four months prior seems a little egregious and as we all know, things happen and people need to move things around. ​ I'm just curious as to whether or not this is simply just something that is annoying, or something that should have never been allowed in the first place.
