Coworker (60f) keeps calling me a “dumb blonde” at work in front of my boss

My 60 year old coworker says this to me and my boss is sitting right in the office with us. He doesn't correct her. I was born with blonde hair and am not changing it. She has gotten to the point where it's very obvious to both of us and he said to me it's “obnoxious”. How is this any different from pointing out someone is less capable due to race or ethnic background?

I was hired 3 months ago for a position. It was a very toxic workplace but i wanted to learn many things from this place so i stayed and pushed. I was threathened and grabbed by the back of my neck at work by the manager, 2 days ago during service.

What is a good reason to not return to the office if I had been working remote?

I am an intern so it’s not like I do super important stuff at work. I work 4 times a week full remote but they want us to go back to the office. It states that they want us to work 2 times a week in the office. Since I am an intern, could I maybe make a good excuse as to why I will not be able to work in the office? Like what is a schedule related reason my manager could approve? I really do not want to go to work, it is like an hour away from me. So it would already take 2 hours a day away. I also get paid bad, 5$ an hour. So, I’m not so keen on going to the office. I get my work done while working at home

fulltime should be 20hrs a week now

5hrs x 4 days . Pay should be doubled also . It's 2023 damit . Nobody likes spending most of their waking lives at work. Work life balance means 50/50 not 70/30.

Sen. Sanders says that “it’s time to move forward a four-day work week with no loss of pay.” LFG!

Why do I feel so guilty because I had to call sick at work? Is it normal? I’ve been working there for a year, I feel guilty because I told her

I feel guilty because yesterday I told my manager I was getting better and today I’d definitely be able to go. She counted on me, because a lot of people are on holidays. I wasn’t really expecting that I’d get worse, as I was getting much much better. But this morning, I could barely get up, my whole body is sore and very sensitive. My throat is very sore, and I’ve no energy. I have a mild fever as well, not too bad, but enough to make me feel nauseous. I texted her that I’ve gotten worse. She still didn’t answer my message. I’m always ready to work, it’s been a year and they don’t have anything to say about the job that I do. Even though, why am I feeling guilty? I shouldn’t, right?
