Every day I wake up, I think about how much I hate my job, my debt, the things I need to buy but can't afford. I'm really depressed and it's all because my job and low salary. This month I had a small injury, so I couldn't work for almost 2 weeks. This means I won't get my “performance bonus”, which is 20% of my salary. Combined with lower pay, I don't know how I'll be able to pay rent, let alone groceries… We wanted to buy portable AC but I told my GF I can't afford it… She just said 'when will this end'… That really broke my heart And what's worse is that I'm told that it is my fault that I'm not prospering. It's my fault because I'm playing games and watching movies instead of spending all my free time learning how to code. It's my fault…

It goes through different ages and their advances: abolition of slavery, banning child labor, paying women the same, security concerns and so on. Every time the capitalist says that if those measures were to be implemented they would go out of business/doing business would be untenable. Thanks im advance.

I was fired for making too many scrap parts because I would start to focus on quantity rather than quality, due to my boss saying I wasn't working fast enough. I thought I was doing fine being careful, slow and steady to win the race. The boss was a trump fanatic and they had trump flads and fuck Biden flags everywhere. But that's not the juicy part. The boss of the place often made transphobic and homophobic statements to me and the other workers. Spouting a bunch of q anon bullshit like transpeople are grooming kids blah blah. It got to where everyone was making jokes that our HR lady was a trans woman. My boss even said directly to me that she was (short) “the perfect hight to set a beer can on her head while she gave me blowjobs” Can I report this?

As the title says, I'm in week 5 of my sick leave following a major surgery to remove a tumour. And I'm good. Seriously. I don't miss work at all. My husband suggested that maybe it would be a good distraction, since there have been complications and the status of my unwanted bodily guest is still up in the air. Bless him I know he means well, but no. I firmly believe work would just add to the stress, and I don't need that. I'm shitting bricks, but I can keep myself distracted fine. I'm playing Red Dead Redemption 2, I'm binging RuPaul's Drag Race, I read books, I go for walks. It's so much easier to set up doctor appointments without work in the way. I was working from home before, but now when I need to go to the shops during the day I don't worry about being…

I’ve seen a few times on Reddit of people being asked unnecessary questions such as “Do you have a good relationship with your parents?” And the like. My partner has been applying for work recently and while doing the contractual stuff he’s being asked specific questions about if you’ve ever attempted to self terminate or self harm. Surely these are questions employers should NOT be asking? Something about this is really rubbing me the wrong way.

This isn’t even required at my level of the corp, but he seems to think it is. He’s already helpfully filled in the template with Where He Thinks I’m Lacking, although HR (shocking!) disagrees. After our last meeting I sat with the HR rep and the longer I talked, the closer her jaw got to the floor. She told me to “document everything”. This meeting is idiotic but I don’t want to antagonize him. Any suggestions on how to navigate this requirement? Lying is exhausting, yet the company doesn’t value me enough to be in my business that way.
