Excuse the rant, but I just left work early because of the work conditions my coworkers and I just experienced. To say that I’m rattled would be an understatement. I work in a well-known grocery store that is known for “treating its employees well” and “organic, natural food”… you can probably deduce the one I am talking about. To understand the context, you have to understand the layout of the building. We have three restrooms total in our store. There’s one in the employee area, which includes our break room, our fridge/freezer, and pallets with produce & dried/shelf-stable goods… you get the gist. The other two bathrooms are accessible to customers, and occasionally employees use them if there’s a line for our bathroom. With that being said, here’s the story. I clocked in today at 3 pm and was supposed to be working until 11 pm. When I walked in,…

I don't work in the restaurant industry anymore (thank god!), but I still work in customer service. And we absolutely get those insane things customers say. My coworkers and I were going on about our customers (no customers around) and one lady complained about the fact we have “too many broken crayons”. One of the employees apparently talked to a kindergarten teacher afterward and said teacher purposely breaks the crayons halfway through the year because it apparently helps with their fine motor skills. lol I don't know if that's really true, but the next time I hear a complaint about broken crayons, I might just use that as my excuse. lol

Edit: Just to avoid confusion, I’m saying that all new money should go directly to all of the people of the country. None should go to corporations. I only reference the stimulus checks because it’s an example of the government writing out individual checks to people (other than income tax return checks).

Hello everyone, longtime lurker here. I felt like this was the right place to ask about this. Does my partner have the right to keep the designs she did for her client working as a freelancer? For further context, the client always gave delayed payments, failed to provide a 2 weeks notice before contract termination, and is unwilling to pay for the work hours she rendered for the first week of the year, but is audacious enough to demand that her templates are their property. Any insightful answer would be highly appreciated!
