I've been rejected from most emergency services jobs due to me disclosing that I undergo counselling, which was a result from my service from the Army. God forbid you see a professional therapist to help you get better mentally. You always hear people say “Don't be afraid to seek help”, only to reject you once you do. What's confusing for me is, it's okay to seek counselling once you're a part of the organisation, but if you show the slightest hint of mental health problems when you're applying,then you're a goner. I'm sorry for this pointless rant, I know others have it worse than I do. But I just get so frustrated, trying to get better mentally so I could perform in those jobs, only to be told I'm not suitable. If I try to hide it and not disclose it and I get caught lying later on, I'm still…

Hey friends, can someone send me a covid 19 test positive photo? They are trying to make me work more than I should, so I really need something so they can hold back. Can you help me?

Someone can't come in and YOU the manager or owner (not the employee) can't find someone to fill the shift. You fill the shift. That's why you are paid more. You want someone else to do it on their day off? Fuck it Pay them a little…

I (24M) am a university student and despite the fact work agreed to just give me an 18 hour week on a 0 hours contract, they are scheduling me 3 9 hour shifts a week overnights. On top of that, last week alone, one of my friends had commited suicide and they gave me no time off at all. I ended up calling sick one of the days due to genuine sickness, as the stress was so much I was throwing up, to which I got interrogated and guilt tripped for not coming in. I have terrible physical health due to my mental health condition and not a single workplace has been supportive of it. Even if people are nice at work, whenever I voice out my complains I get people going “Uh this other 24y/o works 6 days a week” and they aren't even a student nor have a…
