Anyone else feel like this, or have been in this situation? Someone else at work was in the same boat and they still came into work. Nothing annoys me more than when someone doesn't come in and someone else chimes in that they were in the same situation and they still came into work. I can guarantee people are gonna say that about me today. ” Oh psnk217 called out because he was in the ER all night, what a baby, so and so was too and they came into work hurt dur”…

I (27M) have worked for a very big company for almost 2 years now (Pinterest) in the state of Utah. Recently I am on the chopping block for breaking their rules of engagement while reaching out to paid advertisers and doing the job of other positions because they don’t do their job correctly. That’s fine. I broke rules. I get it. I’ve been waiting for over a week now to find out my final notice. I’ve asked to use my PTO so I can find a new job while awaiting my destiny at this job. My position is just a number. I’m no one special at the company, my presence doesn’t change the way their day works. I’m being forced to still come in and sit in the office, taking no calls, while awaiting their decision. I am one of only 5 people who have been there for over a…

Hi all, I switched to corporate from education in 2021 on a contract first with a big movie company, which I then jumped to GameStop as a PM, before being laid off in July of 2022 after 8 months. I took a contract Project Manager role that started in early September and was just informed by my supervisor that my contract that expires in March may not be extended and she can't guarantee permanent conversion for me. The reasoning is as follows: We have a new ceo We are heavily exposed to big tech companies contracts We had a hiring freeze before the new ceo (though my supervisor did ask for more headcount) She has to give permanent employees work before contractors She reiterated she absolutely wants to keep me and the company has ME (a contractor) training permanent employee PMs on how to be better PMs. However, i'm down…

My friend (we’ll call him Adam) has hypersensitive hearing and, out of the goodness of his heart (and the fact that this is his second job, I think?) told his potential employers. They’re now rejecting him based on the fact that his hearing could be a problem, even though it hasn’t caused him a problem in any of the job training and classes he’s been involved in. The job itself is an EMT position, and their reasoning is that it could be a safety hazard- which makes sense, except for the fact that Adam went to a technical school specifically to train to be an EMT without any problems, and has completed all of the additional training the new job is requiring just fine. He’s been doing the occasional 911 shifts (they keep newbies mostly doing paperwork iirc) since November and his overseer has said he shows good promise. He’s…
