They’re not struggling to fill slots due to lack of experience. The economy isn’t crumbling. They want to raise the retirement age so more people will die before they can start benefitting from the pension carrot they dangle in front of you your whole working life. Nothing more. Nothing less. They tell you to pay into it with the claim you’ll get to live the life of leisure in your golden years. They spend your money for their own benefit and hope you die before you can claim it so they don’t have to pay out your contributions.

It certainly was a pleasant surprise. I ended up talking to him for just a minute or two, but he was saying how he feels bad for this generation, and that my wage (12$ an hour) definitely wouldn’t help anything.

I'm being laid off, so I've been applying to a lot of jobs lately, and one thing that's really getting on my nerves is job applications asking me sexual preference. Seriously. It's like every. single. one. I get it, they want to be equal rights and non-discriminatory and all, but wouldn't a better way of showing that you don't descriminate be just not asking in the first place??? If you wanna fill out all your HR paperwork with my personal kinks after I get a job go for it. But do you really need to know any of this for me to just apply?

My friend and her husband work in separate departments year round for an amusement park. They've both been there for over 15 years and are expecting their first and only baby. (They can only conceive through IVF). She just found out today that they have to share her 12 weeks of maternity leave. So basically, if her husband wants any paternal leave, it cuts into her time. If they weren't married, they wouldn't have to share leave. I hate corporations.

Original thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/antiwork/comments/yq2h8a/boss_told_me_i_act_like_a_stereotypical/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf Well, Today was the day that my boss told me he is giving me until April 1st to either find another job or improve how I “act” and maybe will get to keep my current position. Addressing my comments from the original post: 1. I did not use anyone sick days since this post. 2. He did switch me to hourly in December because of my doctor appointments. For context: I had asked him over and over again for the health insurance information that the company provides. As I have depression and other chronic illnesses, I do go to the doctor office a lot. My health insurance was in the state over (a 2 hour drive from my job). Because he failed to give me any information on said health insurance, I decided to stick with the other state one and therefore had to go to another…

Hi yall! So like the post title, i was recently hired by one of those free standing medical clinicals back in late december and onboarded early january. I had concerns when interviewing that the position didnt make sense. They needed techs for overnight shift 11p-7a x5 days. I asked the manager what the patient volume was like and he said maybe 1-2 patients per night. The position paid well and i thought to myself if the patient load doesnt justify the position, this was weird to be hiring. I was assured by the manager everything was on the up and up and they were growing and opening new locations, therfore no reasons to be suspicious. Red flag there but i accepted anyway. This position was interesting because you had to do the normal Tech stuff+run poc labs/QA the machines+check patients in via front desk. Fast forward to last week and…
