It's like “bitch please, the primary reason I (and 90% of your other candidates) applied for the job is you advertising WFH options in the fucking description… You think it's bad form to ask for details on the #1 attraction? Too much to ask for some authentic discussion in the fucking interview I guess… thanks for being another clueless corporate asshat”

idk how to write a good story so i’m sorry if i put in useless information. anyways a week before putting my two week notice in, i found out that i have 80 hrs of pto in my profile. i don’t wanna use pto because i’ve been wanting to quit for a while now. by the end of that week they reveal that they have to cut off people in my job due to budget cuts. so now i thought i’ve had enough with this place, i’d have to do the work of more people for the same $15 an hour. i put in my two weeks and i’m already through one week. i told my manager in advance that i was taking time off on friday. i said i would not like to use my pto. she approved of it over the phone and told me to have a…

had a zoom meeting today on my day off, no big deal and home vs a training room? yes. thing is I got an email after saying I CAN'T smoke, in my own home.. while in a meeting..

I work as a massage therapist and just accepted employment under a couple chiropractors. I love the profession as a concept, but that’s neither here nor there. I have my own chiropractor that I see as needed and I love her, but my new employers are requesting I just see them, not my current DC, for adjustments. They sent me a whole new patient form and want me to list all mental health issues, prior mental/emotional/physical trauma, what my personal birth was like, any sports injuries, any chronic or acute conditions, etc. and I think I’m going to lie. I don’t need my employer knowing I was born via c section and endured mental abuse to be able to adjust my wrists so I can massage without pain. I’m annoyed.
