These aren’t crazy times. This is the norm for the American capitalist system.

Sick of the gaslighting..Advice?

So I’ve been at my job for 6 months, Last week I asked for an sds because there are frequently damaged products that come through and I want to know what I’m handling and processing with my bare hands. They have never once supplied ppe for me. This was met with “well are there any concerns?” by two of my superiors on separate occasions. I simply replied both times that I would like to know what I’m handling. By the end of the day there was an sds in my email. Reading through this particular sds I saw the chemical makeup and there are two elemental metals that “under normal operation” I shouldn’t be exposed to. In the event of a broken seal handle accordingly; followed by suggestions for handling and protective precautions. The email also ensured to say “under normal operation you shouldn’t be exposed” We keep our damages…

Interview Personality Questions

Hello community, I’m an employer and been a lurker of this subreddit for a couple of years. I have implemented a lot of ideas mentioned on here and have been raising my employees pay the last couple of years as well. I believe I have created a comfortable working environment with the current staff. Moving forward we will be hiring but I’m would like not to hire someone with personality issues. Entitlement, jealousy, vindictive, hateful, etc. I have had issues with anti-vax employees now ex-employees (medical office) and that was something. My question is: As an employer during an interview am I allowed to ask psychological questions to determine personality. Not personal question but scenario based. Example: if you were a vegan and go invited to a party would you require the host to make vegan dishes? I know this is Reddit so I am expecting the good, the bad…

My first job sucked rant.

Here's my long winded rant if you'd like to see: https://www.reddit.com/r/fiveguys/comments/zym341/my_five_guys_job_didnt_last/ Basically I got my hours cut from 15 a week to 5 a week because I was not doing a good job according to my boss. I know I was slow and it was my fault for screwing up but I legitimately tried to improve. This happened on my 5th day like I still need time to improve. The last straw was me almost falling down the ledge on some stairs with an open gate during windy weather while taking out the trash. I don't know if my concerns are valid but something about this workplace did not sit well with me. https://imgur.com/gallery/nhOBQ1p

I honestly have no idea what to do

To preface, I've been battling a mysterious medical issue for almost 4 months that leaves me stuck with hour long bouts of vomiting. I cannot work at my physical labor job, and I'm desperate to find any kind of work I can do that doesn't involve my body. I've always been told that you can't complain until you ask. Does anyone know how to work from home in a freelance way that can provide even a small amount of money? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your help.

Screw my manager

I don’t know if this is the place to post this, if it’s not, mods, feel free to remove my post. (Sorry for formatting, I’m on mobile) But screw my manager. Truly. Screw ‘em. I work at a restaurant, I recently got a second job (literally last week..) I was going to talk to my manager about it on Christmas Eve while we were there but got really bad news from my mom about my younger brother which threw me off for the rest of the night, thus, I decided not to talk to him yet. Sunday comes, and I discover I got one day on my schedule this week which was Monday. I go in and ask him about it immediately, he says we’ll talk later. “Later” never comes, I finish my shift and go home, I call the next day and the person who answered said to call…
