I have worked 2 months for a clinic as a temp. I was seen for therapy at a different branch twice a year ago. I looked up my own record recently but didn't know it recorded me doing that in a log. My boss just found out i was a former patient and said if i did look up my records i would be let go. She hasn't seen the log though, and just told me today my contract was renewed for another month of work. Is there anything i can do if she finds out? I was never told not to look myself up in training. (Oregon)

Hi all. I quit my job today and my manager was asking me for a resignation letter to be sent to his email by a certain time today (the end of my shift), then asked again later once I didn’t send anything. I don’t feel like doing that. But I would like to know, there must be a reason he’s asking (besides having a written record)- why is that? Is it something in my best interest to oblige to, or could it be used against me? To give some context, I have a good relationship with my boss (yes your manager is never your friend I get it blah blah blah), I mention this because I don’t believe he would deliberately push for it unless he had to. Please advise.

As society becomes increasingly fast-paced and demanding, many of us are feeling the weight of the traditional 9-5 workday. Endless hours in the office, missing out on important events and moments with our loved ones, and feeling burnt out are just a few of the negative effects of this demanding lifestyle. But what if there was another way? Enter the concept of anti-work. The idea behind anti-work is simple: to reject the notion that work must consume the majority of our lives and instead focus on finding purpose and fulfillment outside of the office. Whether it's through hobbies, travel, volunteering, or simply spending time with friends and family, anti-work proponents believe that there is more to life than just working. By embracing this new perspective, we can break free from the constraints of the 9-5 and find true happiness and fulfillment. Of course, not everyone can simply drop out of…

Spent a few hours on Indeed applying for this job, agreed to background checks, drug test, mandatory references they WILL contact, but the very last question before signing agreements and submitting? Full Social Security (required) with no encryption security! u/mildlyinfuriating Maybe I am being paranoid (Library Wifi for starters), but I do not feel comfortable giving out any confidential information that is impertinent!

I enjoy work. I do. Real, meaningful hard work and seeing results. But I hate busy work, and even more than that, I fucking HATE working for other people. I hate all of it. Nearly every single thing. Of course I didn’t think or feel this way when I chose to be a teacher at 19-years-old, but that’s neither here nor there. I got a new job within the district I already work for, doing the same job that I’ve been doing for the last month (long story short, I was put in this new job as a temp but will now be permanent). I’ve been working there two years already and they want to contact references…dafuq??? Fine, whatever, but seriously what the dick is that for? They say it is a “formality.” Our HR department sucks donkey dick and constantly wastes everyone’s time for all sorts of shit, so…
