Police departments will predictably release a whole lot of videos of “this person who cops are engaging is weird” to distract from the fact that they are inevitably fucking up when it comes to engaging the public. Don’t be distracted from the fact that cops kill people for little to no reason. They harass people. They intentionally use their power to falsely imprison people. Please just be aware.

I have worked in a call center environment for 12 years. the current job I have I have been here for 10 of those years. being yelled at is annoying and on bad days it can feel like its the worst thing in the world. The worst thing is when people call in and tell you that I don't matter. they talk to you in a way to convey I am beneath them. thing that gets to me the most is I talk to a bunch of old people and 95% of them are alone, and broke. I will never get to that point. I have congenital heart disease and have a pacemaker and literally run off a battery. That battery is set to run out in the next six months. I am just going to let it run out. When they do pacemaker checks they turn it off to…

Yet Corporate doesn't seem to understand this, they constantly send out snarky e-mails implying that our team is just incompetent, while completely ignoring the fact that the facility has been running with an underpaid skeleton crew for the past 6 months. They are even paying employees from other facility's flights and room and board, just for them to come and “mentor” us for a couple weeks. It's getting so bad that they are considering closing the facility down. My question is this, won't they lose MORE profit from the facility closing down, than if they just gave their lowest employees (the backbone of the entire facility) a raise? People would be lining up in droves for this job if it paid a bit more, and the understaffing issue would go away quickly. How do you make it to corporate levels without understanding these things?

So I got hired as FOH staff for a bar I adore, I’m told last Wednesday Saturday (earlier today) and Sunday are my training shifts. Future shifts TBD. First shift went great lots of positive feedback, todays second training shift was just 12-5 which was pretty slow. Tomorrow is supposed to be a call time of “1pm-4pm depending on how busy” until walking out the bar today I was told that if it’s super super dead during an expected busy day they will just not have me come In because “I’m all staffed up” Here are my issues 1) I’m training / helping not sharing any tip pools why does my extra body matter, especially if I stay out the way? 2)the owner and GM that decided he might cut me from Sunday don’t seem to be communicating at all, I was hired by owner. 3)am I wrong to be…

As the title states I have a work accommodation that allows me to earbuds at work. I'm Autistic with ADHD. They are not tied to my phone's Bluetooth. I don't listen to music and most days I only need one bud to get through my shift. I can still hear customers and coworkers. I use it to drown put the background noise such as the in store radio and hum of the florescent lights. The buds fit within my ears and are barely noticeable due to my long hair covering them. My boss has honored my accommodation with no problem. My coworkers could care less. However a new assistant manager recently started working at the store. She's been with the company for 30ish years and came in with a stick up her ass. Shortly after she came to the store I work at the store manager had to leave due…

Many years ago I work at a cinema where I was given the official uniform that include black combat trousers with the logo. It was great because it had pockets unlike the norm of female black trousers. I could keep my little notepad of notes and a watch (couldn't wear watch). A few days after combat black trousers were banned… Asked if included official ones too… Next day the answer was yes. So anyone else had something similar with official uniforms?
