Rant- They don’t care about you

Just a bit of a rant here guys. On mobile. I changed jobs last year to work for an Ombudsman Service/deposit scheme (I'm based in scotland). It was better pay, work from home hybrid and seemed like a good step because I was bored and drained of what I was doing and I wanted a challenge and to lead a team again. I start, in a manager/team leader role, I loved my team and I dove in doing work for my job as well as the deposits side, I helped do projects and create processes for the business, I did tech support and testing for their new system, I worked overtime and busted a gut when their new system launch was a disaster (they data wasn't cleaned before migration).

A Question About Third Places in the Town/City/Rural Area of antiworkers

First, what is a Third Place? A location of leisure that is not work or home, with regular patrons (to the point they have friendly rapport), no clear social tiers, and where people come to chill and chat but can leave at will.

What I'm asking r/antiwork is: Do you have any place like this in your regular life? How has it survived? For myself, I've been a…

There’s nothing worse than a brownnosing coworker who willingly works for free.

They provide charity work for rich people, drive down the wages of others, and give away their self respect/time in order to keep a shitty job. These people are beyond pathetic and they absolutely make things worse for everyone else. Also fuck you Sanki for willingly working over Christmas vacation, you tool.

Is it legal for an employer to dock a days worth of pay for being 15 min late ?

I’ve been an employee for this company for appx 1.5 years. I arrive to work on time with the exception of the past 2 months. I first received a written warning for being late. By the 3rd tardy my supervisor explained that if I’m more than 15 min late in the next 3 weeks they will withhold a days worth of pay from my paycheck. Is this legal ? In Texas btw.
