Easy to avoid problems
Its amazing how many problems on this sub are because people just don’t know how to communicate. I am all for demanding respect from bosses and peers, as well as the right of everyone to get fair pay, safe work environments and reasonable schedules but there is a category of post here that can be sum as follows: “Omg guys my boss is such a jerk, they asked (insert reasonable but inconvenient demand)so I told them no fucking way thats not my damn problem bitch, can you believe they got angry and fired me?”

WWYD people getting murdered
From a manager. True story. Not making it up: An employee calls in on Friday an hour before her shift and says the father of her child got killed. Next Friday an hour before her shift she calls in again and says the other father of her second child got killed. She lives in Chicago and it was not the first call off right before the shift. WWYD?
