I'm an automotive technician. Was walking underneath a vehicle that was up on a lift, and straight headbutted a brake rotor. Put me on my ass. Heard my neck crack. I'm 6'3 and used to bumping my noggin because this world wasn't built for people my size. So it didn't hurt much. No blurry vision. No headache. But lord does my neck hurt, and will probably hurt worse tomorrow. Little cut, little blood, little bump. But unless I'm scared, I'm not going to a doctor. Welcome to America. Seriously, what good would a workers comp paid for visit to a doctor do for this, if it's just what I think. I'll lose the day's pay. And then the hospital will fart up the paperwork and bill me and the workers comp insurance my employer carries, and I'll lose more time fighting it. And the doctor will want to do a…

I (23F) work in a UK supermarket kitchen, a job which I started the week that I graduated. I recently applied for a job at the head office of my company as a marketing advisor (I have a bachelor's in psychology and a master's in international marketing). I got rejected today. I'm fed up. I already have a student loan that I'll never pay off so I'll probably just retrain as a chef or cook. Edit: I should add that I've applied for a lot of other jobs in the last 7 months but this is the first time I've been rejected by my own company.

I work for a billing company. I got a call from a man about a refund he received, he didn’t go to much into it before he started to degrade me. He was mad because the refund took a while to get to him (I don’t even handle the refunds) and I didn’t even get to say a word before he started calling me a whre and a cnt and started to talk about my body in an extremely vulgar way. I only stayed on the phone to get his account information to send him to my supervisor because of how disgusting he was being. Ive emailed my boss about him, even sent her a text because i was getting NO response. Still haven’t gotten a response. Just feels so nice to know i can be verbally abused/sexually harassed by patients and it wont be a priority.

We just got pulled into a meeting to be told that we are all going back to the office 60% of the time. This mean 3/5 days a week we have to commute. HOW WAS A DECISION LIKE THIS MADE?! You'd have to be a total dunce to not understand how WFH benefits your employees. There is so much information on the subject! We were fed this bullshit story that it's going to help build relationships and we will be able to meet with stakeholders in person (which is somehow more effective?). In reality, they're forcing us to increase our costs by commuting, as well as denying us the ability to claim WFH on our taxes (Canada) as we need to work in our home at least 50% of the time. I'm fucking livid. Eat the rich, they're useless anyways.
