I worked a job I loved for years and then in 2021 we got a new CFO and the job became a nightmare. He was a small man with a superiority complex and if he wasn’t yelling at you for no reason he was not in the office. People were terrified to walk past the finance department because he would just lash out at them. In the 18 months I was there since he was hired 36 employees quit (I was number 37). I was at the company for 7 years and now I’m at a new job and it’s much nicer. Recently I got a call from my old boss (who reported to the CFO directly) and he asked me for help filing shit that he should know how to do or at least something he should have learned to do since I left. I used to run my…

A.I. is an opportunity to make our lives easier when we look at the bigger picture. If A.I takes over our work then that’s a good thing. That means we won’t have to work. A lot of professions will be killed along the way but in the future we won’t even notice they’re gone. When was the last time anyone picked up a dictionary to learn how to spell something or learn what a word meant? Turned on the news to find out what the weather was like? Called a travel agent to book a train and plane ticket? I think it will be a very ugly road until we reach the end point. A lot of people will suffer when they shouldn’t because of the greed of the capitalists. They’ll replace workers and keep the profits at first. But that’s not sustainable. They’ll have no consumers to consume whatever…

It can be said that the only thing we are doing, at our core, is passing down the chance to fail at responsibility like those that failed before us. In this spirit, failure can never be a bad thing, and every job should want to know the things you've failed at before. Because those failures are the true measure of individual capability.

So this is the first week I’m supposed to be back in office full time. I remembered my company has over 1K employees and I know some people at work today haven’t been in all day—one guy came in the afternoon and another is WFH in the afternoon. They can’t keep track of all the employees working in office or not. I really want to see what I can get away with. I don’t want to work here anyway and there are rumors going around that they’re going to layoff people (they haven’t refilled some backfill positions in months which is making me suspect this as well. I could always BS and say that I have to work at home because XYZ. I know it’s risky and that’s not usually what I do, but I am 1000% done with this company. What do you all think? Is this a bad…

Im a RN (registered nurse) and the faster I work and the sooner I am done with my duties, the more duties I receive. For doing this I don't receive a bigger paycheck. I now realize I always do this: right after starting my shift I always try to work as fast as possible, simply to be done with it (if it has to be done, it has to be done). Just so you know what a typical day entails: I have to control medications and infusions, control blood sugar and administer insulin for several patients, do wound care and lab work and then there is documentation, talking to doctors, APS, nursing homes, the police… There is also education of nursing assistants and nursing students and on top of that there is always the chance we have an emergency or we have to admit new patients which happens quite often.…

I work in Kentucky and my job runs on a point system for attendance and they gave me half a point for being late (driving conditions were not safe) then the next day my tire blew out and they gave me a full point for not showing up. They tell me I am a great employee but whenever I face a crisis they have no problem firing me. Even if theres nothing legally I can do is there anything I can say to make them understanding human beings?

Sorry, I’m on mobile. I put my 2 weeks in one week ago at my job and got fired today because I called in cause I’m sick. My last day would have been the 16th of January. Is there anything I can do about this?
