requiring employees to find someone to cover thier shift, opionins?

Is it wrong to require employees to find someone to cover thier shift to allow then to call out or take a day off. Also shouldn't you get paid for the time you spent “scheduling”. Many years ago I worked a serving job and came down with a virtigo. I was dizzy nauseous and couldn't walk. Boss told me I had to come in unless I found someone to cover my shift. Well I could barely see straight enough to dial the numbers. Not to mention I didn't have everyone's number to call. In the end I drove to work stumbled in and collapse in a booth. Boss got mad at me for even coming in cuz I looked terrible and sent me home. No write ups or anything else. But it could of been all been avoided if the manager just found someone to cover my shift. Thoughts?

FTC proposed a ban on non-competes, could be massive win for American labor.

Haven't seen this posted here at all, but sorry if it has been already and I just missed it. The FTC is proposing to ban non-compete clauses in employment contracts throughout the country, estimating it will increase wages by $300 billion per year. This looks to be a potentially huge win for workers in America. It will force employers to be better to their employees instead of using fear of legal action to keep them. Read more here, and consider leaving a comment if you are a US citizen, resident or worker. https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2023/01/ftc-proposes-rule-ban-noncompete-clauses-which-hurt-workers-harm-competition

Idiot manager rant

I don't belong here on this sub – I'm not against work. I fucking love my job, teaching students in a field I love- but allow me to rant about my manager for a bit, in a place that is probably supportive of just that.. I'll have to keep the details vague so I don't lose the job I like/love. I work at a university, where four months ago a colleague of mine got sick. We knew it'd be for a longer period of time, so I warned my manager: in four months time, you will need a replacement for him to do The Thing, an activity that involves a lot of students. They did not find a replacement, hoping he would be back by then. He is not back by now, and will not be for some time. Two weeks ago on Tuesday, another colleague got sick and so…

I’m considering applying to work at this place managed by a woman whose BF dislikes me bc his ex liked me. He is trying to pressure her to not hire me, and apparently she keeps telling him “sorry, nothing I can do about it.” He’s trying to now tell her that I’m a bad person or something. What to do?

If my instincts/understanding is correct, I appreciate that she’s passively standing up to him. Thanks. Im starting to feel guilty for even considering applying. The nature of his psychopathic behavior makes it such that he is framing me as a bad candidate and her as unreasonable for not agreeing to just shoo me away. So I almost feel bad for her that she has to deal with his controlling tendencies trying to tell me I can’t work there. She seems like a good, nice person. So I’m confused. He seems to cause these sorts of dramas/tensions/wedges between everyone. So I’m not the anomaly. I just need to know how to continue to present myself as the reasonable party. Because in my innocence and naïveté, I may come across differently than intended. He’s being a huge jerk about it and trying to pressure her to deny me an employment opportunity. I…
