So, its been about 1.5 month I've been doing internship in a company with other 5 interns and we ended up being good friends. Only 2 interns will be hired by the company as employees and HR said we are not competitive amongst eachother as we are cool with eachother. What do you guys think?

So I work a minimum wage zero hour part time job in the uk. My main job is a musician. This means I request alot of odd days off but usually months in advance to not cause issue. I messaged asking for 2 days off in a month and a half and they said it wasn't possible because 3 or more people booked those days off I'm just curios if employers have the right to deny this stuff with such long notice and the fact that its work related as well. Also the fact that there is no guarantee they'll even put me on that day I just have to leave it open incase. Does anyone in the uk know anything I could do except quitting. This is a pretty nice workplace tbh so I don't wanna do that but ye carrear comes first

Not much to add to the title. Work at a place and a guy that sits near me died in a car accident. The next day they made arrangements for a replacement and to top it off, put the new guy at the desk of the guy who had just died. To make matters worse, the manager accidentally called the new guy by the name of the guy who passed away, I'm sure by sheer habit. I felt so bad and awkward and I know the new guy did as well.

Last week insurance companies announced fully remote workers have to go back to the office. These workers who made ungodly amounts of money for the CEOs who all seemed to have made a golf course deal to make this announcement without any input from the ones doing all the work. The employees proved that work was always completed in timely manners. That they were able to work together even though separated by miles to get complex projects done to perfection. Alot of them taking less money because of the beautiful benefits of remote work. These workers who were told time and time again they will remain remote. These people changed their whole life because of the promise of staying remote. They sold unnecessary second cars. They bought houses in better neighborhoods further away from offices. They had children or brought in family members who needed full time care. All of…

I’m so fed up with the nepotism and alliances that seem to dictate everything in business environments. The last three jobs I have been busting my ass and received nothing but good comments from clients and people on the other side but there’s always a small group that fucking hates me for it. Those few always have some weird alliance with the manager where they get away with shitting on other employees while also being mediocre at best. Job 1 I came in and the entire community knew it as a dysfunctional place with shit customer service. I cleaned the place up and helped establish some kind of plan of attack on keeping things up to speed. One of the other bartenders I never met before walks in and try’s to say “I’m back in training.” Of course that’s not how shit works so she decides to fn walks out…

There’s quite a few other subs that do not have this rule. Why is that aside from not allowing any direct action? Please post where this rule is to help me because I’m not seeing it. Businesses aren’t people.

I'm a cake decorator at a chain grocery store. Maximum output for stagnant wages. Yesterday was mother's day and my boss and the lead took off so I was there alone. It was very busy. This (50s?) woman comes to the counter right before the end of my shift and says she needs a white sheet cake with white frosting. I had made some but they were all gone. I gave her the autopilot response I give 50 times a day. “I'm so sorry we only have what's out there. Did you check the big freezer there?” “But those cakes are frozen..” “They'll be good after about 20 minutes.” “Ohh reeeeally?? Well thank you! /s” I thought she was gone but then she came back. “Those are all marble and chocolate. I need a white cake.” So I stop what I'm doing and go out front to show her we…
