I work for a company that owns about 12 offices. Each office has a monthly budget. Early this month our regional manager told us she ordered some supplies through our budget for another office and used up just about all the budget for the month. She gave no explanation as to why she did this We have been asking higher ups to rectify the budget so we can make orders and they keep blowing us off. It all seems suspicious. Any insight as to why a regional manager/company would do this??

Hey all! So basically, I was diagnosed with migraines and I got a medical note stating that if one occurs I may need to leave work. Now my boss is asking I provide another note stating that I’m able to work alone (I work at a cafe, most times I’m alone at cash) and I’m a little annoyed as a doctors note is $50 per note and I feel like I don’t need to provide a note to state I can do my job. I feel like the first note stating that if one occurs and I need to leave, I can should be enough because clearly that’s the only accommodation I need. If I couldn’t work alone my doctor would have wrote that. I’ve had the same doctor for years and she knows I work alone most of the time. Any advise?

So I'm in the UK, senior management role and in the process of changing jobs. My contractual notice period is 3 months. I get that we have better protections in the UK around employment but 3 months is brutal. One of the reasons I'm leaving is burnout and having to resist the urge to completely check out for 3 months is nigh on impossible, not to mention the constant check ins with directors so the boss can size up the perfect moment to try to brow beat me in to staying. They are out of luck this time (moving to a way higher salary, less pressure job) but still i know it's coming. They are already threatening to withhold my bonus. I get it's discretionary but what better way to demotivate somebody who still has a lot of work to deliver for you than by withholding the bonus they earned…

The WiFi has gone out at the call centre I work at and they are making us stay and train with the new starters? Since I started about a month and a half ago they said that we aren't trained enough to work from home and so we are sitting in on training with some new starters. Feels like I shouldn't have to be here if they can't provide working conditions (UK based)

I’ve been working at a place for a few years and with about 10k in my 401k. Don’t I at least get a percentage of what was in there? I’m being told that I need to put in a minimum of 10 years at this company to even get a percentage of it, and I won’t receive the full amount unless I do 30 years (I work at a jail). Every other place I’ve been at I’m pretty sure they give it to you when you leave regardless of time on the job.
