My niece works for a marketing company and they held an event at a casino. They gave each participant (over 21) a card with $50 to use at the slot machines. Her boss informed her that one of the customers who ones a business their firm does marking for has a gambling problem and attended the event couldn’t stop after looking the $50 and evidently lost a ton of money. My niece was fired.

I was fired yesterday from my remote job
Hello everyone. I was fired yesterday for “work avoidance”. Let me tell you why and hopefully you can tell me some advice or tips. I work remotely. My computer broke. Company sent out new computer. Delivery guy knocked at wrong apartment 2 days in a row. I drove 2 hours to pick up package from hub. Log in. Next day, fired for work avoidance because of the miss delivery. They state it is because this happened in March as well. In March i missed the delivery because they came at 7am. I work 3rds. That situation was completely paid and not counted against me. Now boss is trying to use it as leverage to fire me. Any tips?

The ceo doesn't care about contracts, getting sued, or anything else. Narcissistic as fuck, micromanaging, he published a book for personal profit that plagiarized everything within, wants to fire a new hire that was brought on to come into the office once a week per contract because the new hire doesn't want to come in every day, and the company itself is bleeding money because of mismanagement and shit direction. And like the poor guy (the new hire) brought up the glassdoor reviews, but like all of the ones written except for the 1 stars are…
“What can I do to make you happier?”
I had my annual review a couple of weeks back. My boss gave me nothing but glowing praise. Everyone agrees my work is fantastic. But what I've learned is words are free. I can't pay my rent in compliments. My contract is up in six months, and I've repeatedly raised the issue of pay, which all my bosses know is a problem, but nobody seems to want to fix. They'll say they want to, but in the end, excuses and fingers pointed at corporate stall any progress I make. So my boss asks me during my last review: “What can I do to make you happier?” I tell her that I really need more money. My rent has increased, and living in the city I work in just isn't working out with my wife and I both working full-time for a one-bedroom apartment. Well, she can't do anything about pay.…
