I did it! I quit today! Here’s my badge, lady!

I have been with this company for two years, healthcare field, and it has been making me mentally and physically sick. My manager is either unable or unwilling to listen/hear/improve or try to care. Her pretending to partner with her team is laughable and I made sure my (two) other teammates are ready and willing to GTFO/be references/go out for a drink this weekend haha and genuinely seek alternate routes of employment. No matter how scary it is to change – I have to keep moving. I’ve been applying to other places the past two weeks and have heard back already, I just needed to tell this to somewhere to anyone or to anything. You can do it! This sub has helped remind me 🙂 Thank you!!!! Woo Hoo!!!

Hawley introduces Pelosi Act banning lawmakers from trading stocks

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) has introduced a bill that would ban members of Congress from trading and owning stocks, using the name of his legislation to take a jab at Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.). Hawley on Tuesday introduced the Pelosi Act — or the Preventing Elected Leaders from Owning Securities and Investments Act — renewing a legislative push to curtail stock trading by lawmakers that has failed over the last few years.

Do you pay to interview?

I’m asking this group because I want an honest opinion. I’m looking for a care giver for my daughter and I’m setting up an interview with someone. This person asked to get paid. Is this a standard practice to pay someone to interview? I’ve never been paid for an interview, but haven’t been in the work force for a bit so maybe something changed. Thanks!

I delivered this to an employee at a retailer. It still amazes me that people actually have to work when they’re feeling like death and spreading illnesses to everyone else.

Old boss called 7 months after “firing me” requesting i give social security number for 1099 form.

basically as the title states. I worked for a lady who owned a business 3 days a week and only worked 2 weeks before she fired me with no warning because I got sick (she was fucking insufferable!) She was paying me with checks and never gave me a agreement of employment or anything professional. Today 7 months later – she calls asking to get my social bc she has 1099 forms she’s filing. I DO NOT trust her because she’s disorganized. and i worked for a total of 6 days in june. will i get fined or in trouble if i don’t give it to her? i only made 600 total probably for those few days. any advice is appreciated. EDIT: I wanted to also ask – i read online if you don’t report the money the IRS will see that and delay your refund. I don’t want that…

Getting a SSDI mental evaluation tomorrow, What to expect?

I had brain surgery on dec 1 for chiari malformation and still have ongoing neurological issues. I also have a history of PTSD and anxiety and am covered in SH scars as well as a history of violent outbursts and breakdowns in the workplace (been abused by managers before). You guys think I'll get it?
