I have a coworker that asks me silly questions. She seems to do it on purpose because she’s not stupid. For example, she asked me how to use our company credit card. She’s worked here for 25 years. She has used the card before. Then she asked me which key was the pooled vehicle key, we only have one and it’s a Ford, the key says Ford on it. She doesn’t particularly like me and that is a known fact. I just don’t understand the motive? Why do that? Is she wanting me to be rude? I’m genuinely curious on the psychology side. Is this something she’s doing to me on purpose? Or am I just reading into it?

Finally put in my 2.5 weeks yesterday which was looong overdue. I’ve been at my job for almost 2.5 years (minus the month I was laid off at the start of covid ). Some background: I’ve never gotten benefits, pto, insurance, etc. and have always felt like I’ve been underpaid. I get paid hourly and have gotten a total of $3/hr raise since I’ve been here. There’s also been times where I’ve been very much overworked and felt extremely burnt out, with no pto making it really hard to take a break for myself. I slowly started job hunting a few months after starting but with my mental health not being in the best place it’s been very challenging to work and job hunt full time. Over the past year I’ve always started up an Etsy shop while wfh which has started becoming pretty successful. All of those factors finally…

TLDR: I have chronic migraines that make me miss work. I was written up for these abcenses, told I would be fired if I continued to miss work, and didn’t recieve our monthly bonus because of it. Is that legal (USA)? Full story: I have severe chronic migraines. I’ve been seeing a neurologist for a few years now, and am trying to figure out how to manage them. Without treatment I was having headaches everyday with 3-4 migraines a week. With treatment I currently see ~2 a week. They typically start in the morning right before I wake up or 2-4pm, and more sporadically if certain triggers occur. Because I’m new I can’t qualify for FMLA. So when a migraine occurs on a work day I miss part of the day but do work some that day, but rarely the full day. The time I’m miss is to migraines or…

Like the title says, I just have no idea.I don't have a dream job, I dont dream of labour. Currently studying software development and i HATE it.

As the title says, I am planning to leave my job of 2 years in a financial institution. I do have a vacation planned and am putting in my resignation after I return. Besides the obvious of getting doctor visits taken care of before my insurance is terminated, what else do you advise I do? Legally, of course.

Helpful hint. There have been jobs my husband and I have taken (not together) where once we started, we learned that the company doesn't give references. Aside from the fact that they should disclose that before the job is accepted if they were above board, that basically limits the employee from ever getting kudos for any work they've done in a way that would benefit their career. It also means that you can be a giant tool and they won't tell anyone. Most large companies hire this task out to 3rd party companies. You can find out their reference policy by calling HR. For these companies, unless you apply for a job where your former management works, as long as you treat your coworkers with respect, your risk for being a douche to management is minimal. Add to that, if that manager was a POS, you just self selected yourself…

I am needing advice on a situation with the hospital I currently work at. As of 2022, the entire hospital had a 'minimum wage raise'. Previously it was $13, and it got bumped to $15. My problem is that I got a 2% raise last year, so my pay was $13.26, until it got bumped up to $15. So I essentially lost my raise. It isn't much to lose, but it still feels like a loss. Is there anything I can do? I'm in Tulsa, OK if that helps.

There is a better world for workers of the world. We are the economy, value of stocks and profit of CEOs. May Day Strike 2022 May Day Strike 1886 “On May 1, 1886, 350,000 workers staged a nationwide work stoppage to demand the adoption of a standard eight-hour workday. Forty thousand workers struck in Chicago, Illinois; ten thousand struck in New York; eleven thousand struck in Detroit, Michigan. As many as thirty-two thousand workers struck in Cincinnati, Ohio, although some of these workers had been out on strike for several months before May 1. The purpose of the May Day Strike was to bring pressure on employers and state governments to create an eight-hour workday.” The Seattle General Strike “On the morning of February 6, 1919, Seattle, a city of 315,000 people, stopped working. 25,000 other union members had joined 35,000 shipyard workers already on strike. The city's AFL unions,…

I got a call from a close friend, whom I had just spent hours with hanging out and eating with the day prior, stating that they tested positive for covid. I immediately left the class that I was in and went to get tested on our campus. Luckily I tested negative, but since I know there are cases where people may not test positive until a couple days after you get exposed. With that in mind I decided to self isolate in my dorm and test everyday for the next 5 days. I informed my professors and bosses that I would not be going to class in person and I would not be going into work. One professor did not respond and the other gave me the zoom link for class. Both of my bosses said that if I tested negative I would be able to go into work, however…

Basically been singled out for issues that I didn't cause and spoken to super aggressively. I sent a formal complaint to hr and said that the behavior is triggering my anxiety and hindering my focus at work. Their response? “Have you tried talking to her about it?” No. I have anxiety issues. Why even suggest that? Hr then sends me options for counseling. I have medication and see a therapist already. That's not the issue. The issue is aggressive behavior that should be addressed. Not my issues of which I'm already taking care of. I'm beyond frustrated and don't know what more I can do at this point.
