In more unbelievable shit my place of employment is doing, I am suddenly required to read a “Book of the Month” and write a 500 word synopsis. I’m a casual worker – I pack boxes – and they’ve slashed my hours to less than half and now this shit. Nowhere in my contract does it say I have to do this but my megalomaniac boss has decreed this task as mandatory and we will “get a written warning” if we miss 3 submissions. Yes: I am madly scrambling to find another job but in the meantime I am FURIOUS that I’m being made to feel like I’m back in high school while I make LESS than $350 a week. And yeah imma use ChatGPT to write the damn thing, but I need to vent about how awful this workplace is somewhere!
