Is there any steps I or we can take to once and for all get rid of weed testing from companies? How are we supposed to better our situation at a job or in our life if we don't like, if that is hanging over our heads? You can't even get a job stocking shelves without taking a drug test. It's absolutely ridiculous. There is no reason for this and . It's a waste of time and money and I guarantee a lot of people would be employed faster and easier if testing went away. I am looking to make serious steps and I know only numbers can make a difference. If there's anything I can do please reach out and I'll try and take those steps! People can drink until they die from withdraw, but we can't burn one after a grueling day? Unacceptable!

My friends are all convinced that u can still pick yourself up from the bootstraps and become super rich. I’m trying to prove them wrong but they just keep coming up with the classic brainwashed sayings like “if you cap how much money is made, no one will have incentive to work”. Please someone give me clear evidence of why it is near impossible to become rich when your at the bottom in todays society.

I posted about my company's no fault attendance policy a few months ago and HR has finally “caught up” with attendance reports. On Monday I have a “meeting” scheduled with the Plant manager. The plant manager is supposedly going to ” try to figure out” why I have so many tardies and “decide” whether they will let me stay. I just think it's funny. They denied my baby bonding leave and somehow expected me to come in every single day unfazed and ready to work. My daughter turns three months on Sunday, and I still haven't taken any baby bonding/ family leave time. I already have two wfh jobs lined up making more than I do now. So I've been having a great time commiting time theft Too bad California is a two party recording state. I would love to share the meeting with you guys.

I don’t have a clue if this is the right place to post but you guys seem pretty helpful on the other posts! I (17 M) fucked up at work today, which I’ve never experienced before. I currently work as a trading assistant (shelf stacker) in the UK for a very large supermarket business. Btw I have absolutely loved working here, the pay is great and the management know what they’re doing (well, at least compared to my old job as a waiter). I’ve been kept on for a few months after being a Christmas Temp, I’ve got one more month here and if I do well enough, I’ll be able to stay on permanently. Today I was working a 5-9 which I love. However, this shift was going really weird, time just didn’t seem to make sense at all for me this shift and I truly didn’t feel right.…

Thought I would be out of this job by the time my vacation came around so I booked it, but the next job I had set up fell through. Once I knew this, I immediately requested Thursday and Friday off (a month in advance at this point). My boss comes to me a few days later saying that 2 people already requested off for Friday so I can’t take off, but I can on Thursday. I didn’t expect that this would happen since it’s rare that people take off this far in advance and that there’s even 2 people off on the same day. Unfortunately, my job doesn’t have an option of someone just covering my shift since it’s lab work. The trip is non-refundable and I don’t know what to do about Friday. Any suggestions?
