I have no idea what to expect, I've been out of work for a couple months because of mental health and stress, I've only worked basic food service jobs but got promoted to supervisor before.
Just so you know, this morning (9AM Amsterdam time), Booking.com's CEO fired every single customer service employee around the world over a PRE-REOCRDED VIDEO. Everyone was kept in the dark, from frontline employees to site management. I'm so glad I didn't put my heart into this company. Just a thing to remember when you're watching their fancy Super Bowl ad.

mental health stigma in workplaces
Idk why this isn’t talked about more, but I feel one of the main things that makes workplaces so toxic is the constant pressure to be professional and all the way there and if you even mention being like stressed a little they will use it as an excuse to come attack you and get you fired. The reality is that this is discriminatory. It’s ok to have some mental illness. I think a lot of people deal with this from time to time, and people shouldn’t be forced to hide it out of fear of losing their livelihoods. The sentiment shoudn’t be like ‘oh you better not be a nutjob and have it interfere with making money’ It should be like ‘Are you ok?’ Like wtf is wrong with people. They really watch people fucking deteriorate from the inside out if it means to make an extra penny

Leaving! Byeee US
I came to the US as a child and stayed here until I graduated college (2008). Then went back to Turkey for 4-5 yrs. When shit started going down I returned to US and have been trying to move to EU ever since I came back. Even Turkey provides health care and free education with all the corruptions and US is incapable of that? I pay thousands of dollars in taxes and get shit back in return. I feel we’re getting majorly fcked here. I don’t want to think about healthcare or retirement. I’m finally moving to EU next month! PS: even tho I’m over 30, I’m still under my parents insurance in Turkey. Either leave or demand what you deserve! We didn’t ask for much, just a simple life where we can afford necessities. We don’t deserve this.

We are broke! It’s not an act.
I just read about CNN's President Jeff Zucker's resignation after his relationship with an employee went public. This incident happened 2 weeks back and now the internet has just flooded with workplace romance policies.” The stupidest I've heard is “love contracts” Workplace romance are nothing new in our culture – it's the stuff that makes movies & television entertaining. NBC teased viewers of The Office for nine seasons with the “will they or won't they” tension between Jim and Pam (spoiler alert: they would and they did). I don't know what can one say about affairs at work IRL if you look at these workplace romance stats. One of these stated that nearly half of those involved in a workplace romance are top level executives. It's shocking to see,
I'm soon accepting a promotion and I'd love to know how to ask for some job security / benefits. When I started working I was wide-eyed and ambitious. Starting early, staying late, taking extra shifts, reporting 30x the amount of hazards as everyone else, always trying to improve etc. Lockdown happened and some people had to lose their jobs. I'm safe though because of everything above…right? I was so naive. That hard to swallow pill has jaded me severely. I kept my job and it had nothing to do with my work ethic. Since then I make no extra effort. I do my job well and nothing more. When I'm about to sign the new contract how do I say “You showed me you don't care if I am an incredible employee during lockdown. If you don't give me job security and reward me for doing more than required I…
