It can be said that the only thing we are doing, at our core, is passing down the chance to fail at responsibility like those that failed before us. In this spirit, failure can never be a bad thing, and every job should want to know the things you've failed at before. Because those failures are the true measure of individual capability.
So this is the first week I’m supposed to be back in office full time. I remembered my company has over 1K employees and I know some people at work today haven’t been in all day—one guy came in the afternoon and another is WFH in the afternoon. They can’t keep track of all the employees working in office or not. I really want to see what I can get away with. I don’t want to work here anyway and there are rumors going around that they’re going to layoff people (they haven’t refilled some backfill positions in months which is making me suspect this as well. I could always BS and say that I have to work at home because XYZ. I know it’s risky and that’s not usually what I do, but I am 1000% done with this company. What do you all think? Is this a bad…
Im a RN (registered nurse) and the faster I work and the sooner I am done with my duties, the more duties I receive. For doing this I don't receive a bigger paycheck. I now realize I always do this: right after starting my shift I always try to work as fast as possible, simply to be done with it (if it has to be done, it has to be done).

I work in Kentucky and my job runs on a point system for attendance and they gave me half a point for being late (driving conditions were not safe) then the next day my tire blew out and they gave me a full point for not showing up. They tell me I am a great employee but whenever I face a crisis they have no problem firing me. Even if theres nothing legally I can do is there anything I can say to make them understanding human beings?
Sorry, I’m on mobile. I put my 2 weeks in one week ago at my job and got fired today because I called in cause I’m sick. My last day would have been the 16th of January. Is there anything I can do about this?
So, I have been told all my life “If you don't work, you don't eat,” which is a statement I still agree with today. I believe you have to put in some work to ensure your life and the lives of those closest to you are as good as possible. However, work nowadays, does not feel like I am really helping anyone and certainly not myself. Watching the new Avatar movie made me feel a twinge of sadness while watching it for some reason and I couldn't figure out why. I wrote it off as me just having “one of those days” my mother would talk about from time to time. However, after the movie as I was mentally prepping myself for my job the following day, I saw a video that explained my sadness perfectly. Unfortunately, I didn't get the original posters name but they pointed out, the movie…
