I know this is off topic for this forum but you all are the perfect people to ask. My boss just asked me to come up with an incentive program to get our drivers to do the job the way we need them to do it. We absolutely cannot write anyone up. Most of our drivers do whatever they want instead of doing their main job functions the way we ask them to. We are the transportation department of a public school district and we finally got approval for a budget for an incentive program. The budget size is unknown. My first thought was to raffle off cash prizes, the drivers get raffle tickets for each task they do that we ask them to do. Anyone have any better ideas?

I have been feeling sick for a few days and unfortunately used up my sick time. I went to the doctor in order to get some medication as my condition was worsening and my body is over it. I got a note from the doctor that said I should stay home to let the medication work, that is 3 days off. My manager tells me I cannot use a doctors note as an excuse out of work. The only time that is allowed is if I have used up all of my sick, and vacation time, then i can go ahead and use the doctors note as an excuse to not have my days counted against me. Why go to the doctor? Why pay the copay, get checked, get the note notifying that you are incapable of working… and I have to use vacation days? I’ve had these vacation days…

Not sure why this happened but I really don’t want to have to make the extra trip out, compared to 5 days. I asked fellow coworkers and found out it’s not a mistake and has happened to them. First time for me. Maybe just let it go but if it happens again then mention it? Not all 8 hours per day sure, but something about 6 days sort of bugs me, know what I mean?

I’m persian and I’ve always had bad experiences working for people of the same ethnic background, I try not to apply to places where they are the ceo or boss. Things that have happened to me: When it’s your own ethnicity they think it’s okay to cut corners and other things like being paid late, expecting more from you. Holding you to a different standard, thinking they can give you unsolicited advice/comments on anything (appearance, orientation,career goals). I can’t be the only one who’s gone through this. It’s almost feels like discrimination. I have given places the benefit of the doubt and still do, you know when you just know what it’ll be like. Also they’ve notoriously paid me the lowest out of all employers. To them I’d understand cuz “we’re the same”Fuck you that’s discrimination, I’m American !! I recently got hired at an awesome company but this is…

I didn’t realize increasing pay was an option anymore. I just assumed they’d get more pizza parties and bring-your-dog-to-work days. Dogs at a pool might be fun though. Never mind that.

I’m starting to think that colleges in the US saw the cost of college in Japan, and made sure that by the time interest was tacked on, the cost of going to college is the same, just without the conversion between the yen ¥¥ and the dollar.
