So i've been at this job for 10 months. Been working my ass off like a slave for minimum wage despite being overqualified for the job. Accumulated up to 40 hours sick time and 2 days before christmas i got sick and the day of christmas a close friend died so i took off. Apparently it was a mandatory work day but what i had was highly contagious and embarrassing to say the least. Boss ends up getting mad and taking me off the schedule and basically firing me without any warning or explanation. had doctors notes and everything but apparently i had to get my father to talk to him to let me back. they switched payroll companies and with that process i ended up with 2 direct deposited checks which others in the job got as well but because now technically im “fired” i cant get direct deposit…

Seriously, wtf is wrong with recruiters? One of their “benefits” was working with a “great company goal oriented team.”

Boss at the place I was doing data entry for has had it out for me ever since I refused to be bothered by the bullying tactics she uses to keep power and make others afraid. I stuck it out long enough sock a little back, because I viewed quitting as a defeat. I wanted her to have to go through the effort. Last Tuesday, she decided to purposefully misunderstand a single, solitary word in an e-mail I sent that day…I'm still not 100% clear on what she was even bothered by, but she sent me home, canned me two days later. I went in on Friday to get my stuff after everyone was gone, and left a couple of messages for her on the office whiteboards, just calling her a name or two and insulting her ridiculous appearance. Apparently I am now a legend at that place among some…

Hey mate just chasing a quote for that roof restoration get back to me asap thanks buddy bumpkins

Yesterday, as well as previous times before, my workplace has forced workers to continue working for more than 5 consecutive hours without a lunch and 3 of those hours without a paid break. This is in direct violation of 2 parts of Washington State labor laws. Due to my separate schedule, I was afforded a break and, seemingly, cannot report this to L&I as I do not have the proper evidence. Please correct me if I am wrong. How can I report this? Do the affected employees have to report it themselves? Is there anything I can do if the affected employees don't take action under my recommendation?
