If someone can’t support themselves on their earnings, they become homeless. At that point, it’s very difficult to get healthcare.

I think basic healthcare is a human right. If someone is unhoused or not working, they should still be able to get their prescriptions somehow.

forced to quit again

I'm a 19M, with ADHD and Asperger's syndrome, and these past 24 hours have been insane for me. I've been working the last two weeks at this bike camp. The first week went ok, definitely were some issues but not anything worse than any other new instructor there. Then we got to my next class this week. At first, only one could kinda ride independently, all ages 3-7. It was really difficult to find anything to get them to do that was both fun and gave me enough time to do 1-on-1 stuff with them so they could get riding on their own. Also second day, I had told a kid's parent that I thought it was possible their child may have had ADHD. The parent seemed polite and normal and at least a bit interested in what I was saying but then wrote a complaint to the management later…

Applying to jobs online doesn’t provide much context to one’s story or knowledge. It’s difficult to know what to expect.

Various businesses and organizations have been deceptive for years regarding their workplace routines. Once hired, you will probably encounter the following: “I am unable to find that information right now.” “You will need to ask this question to someone else.” “That’s for you to work on and figure out.” “I wasn’t sure what we would need you to do.” “I can’t find this file. Maybe you deleted it on purpose.” “The way we’re working through this project right now isn’t efficient. Why do you look so angry?” Workplaces also often suffer from chronic understaffing, underpay, overwork, bullying, and miserable conditions.

Not sure what to do about my company… trying to get everyone away from WFH

My company has decided to make us work more days in person than at home. Honestly, my mental health and physical health is affected by going into work. Every day before I have to work in the office, I get so anxious I throw up. I’ve even thrown up at the office (in a secluded place) and had to go home. I’ve tried to communicate this with management, but the people at the top refuse to do anything, since we’re “more productive” at the office. I don’t want to quit; it was hard enough to find this job. But if they continue to neglect my concerns, I don’t know what other choice I have. Please help by suggesting what I could do.

SAG & WGA Strike

Now that Hollywood is effectively shut down, I think it is important to support these writers and actors. That said, is it unethical to actually go and pay to see a movie in the theater? What do you all think?

My boss asked me to do my coworkers job

I work on marketing and we’re a new team for a growing company. We’ve recently been asked to conduct peer reviews, to review each others work to prevent mistakes. I use these peer reviews to improve our work for a variety of reasons like establishing our authority and expertise in the marketplace. Keep in mind that my coworkers refuse to use tools like grammarly to improve their writing and I’ve had to create a variety of templates that include specifications on how to write so that we’re not alienating our audience. In my most recent peer review, I suggested that my coworker wrote a BLUF statement. A BLUF statement – or bottom line upfront statement – is a just basically a summary. I recommended this based on the fact that my coworkers will only do the bare minimum and anything above and beyond – well, seems like they are complaining…
