I had an interview where I was told that they wanted to fire the person in the current role at the company (and the interviewers went on to talk horribly about this person for most of the interview – felt like I was hardly apart of the conversation, it just turned into “let's talk shit about our colleague”. And the specific reasons were ridiculous. I felt really bad for this person who is clearly working in a toxic environment and has not been given the tools to succeed). If I find who this person is can I give them a heads up that they're gonna be fired or can the company sue me or something? LOL

Just looking for some advice from this community of folks who kind of think like me. I'm currently doing Job A, which is about 50-60 hours a week, overnight shift, with Tuesday and Wednesday nights off. I'm a CDL driver who makes about 70k a year and I honestly hate my job. Only good part is the compensation. I used to be on the radio. I recently got offered Job B to get back into that industry. I LOVE radio. Been a passion of mine since a kid, and I've missed it ever since I left right as the COVID pandemic started. However, Job B is on the other side of the state, and offers only 43k in compensation with no benefits. But it's 6a-3p Mon-Fri. My problem is: logistically, it doesn't make sense. We own our home (which admittedly needs some work) and my family is comfortable in their…

I am interested in FMLA leave. My father is terminally ill with head and neck cancer and I am his care coordinator and POA. He has months to live and its an awful situation. He lives two hours away, refuses hospice and I am burnt out as hell. I work nine hours a day and take calls all day in regards to him. Its so hard to please my employer and deal with this. I can't focus.I go up every Saturday, and Sunday is just getting ready for the week. I have lost tons of hair due to Anorexia flaring up again, and I'm feeling incredibly depressed and hopeless. I'm terrified of getting in trouble at work if I go on leave. Also, are you able to do FMLA part time? I can't completely lose my income but even an extra day for a bit would help immensely. Fuck work.…

This is happening to me right now. I was hired in October for one of the biggest property owners in the world. The person that hired me, her position was eliminated the week before I started. I was brought around the office by someone from a different department. I’ve been sitting in an office behind the fired lady’s office all alone for months. Doing literally nothing. I’ve asked around, I’ve emailed people. NOTHING. I show up 3 days a week, “work” from home 2 days a week; and get paid every Friday. I haven’t said a word to anyone in months. I’m riding the wave till it crests. I don’t know how it’s possible that no one gives me any assignments or even really emails me and yet here I am.

Fuck. Amazon.

I started working with a new company and everything was fine and dandy until they started calling us into the office which for me means commuting an hour each way in traffic (in interview they said we would be almost entirely remote). Thing is my superiors tend to leave 1-2 hours earlier to avoid the traffic themselves and leave me alone in the office. And how the fuck is that fair? I asked to change my shift pattern but they don't give a fuck and said no. I managed to get teams on my phone to “appear online”. It's half an hour until end of my shift and I'm supposedly “working” but basically on the way home. Anyone else tried it with teams?
