Antiwork

I was fired from B&M in Scotland, for spotting a sandwich someone had left out the fridge for too long, instead of writing it off and binning it, I ate it, 3 higher members of staff raided through the bin bag and presented the crusts to me at a disciplinary meeting and fired me with no warning by ” Theft by consumption”. Ludicrous, what's everyone's best being fired stories that are truly dumb ?

This happened last summer, but I still often think about it and wonder if I should talk to hr. I work as a mechanic and one day my mom called me to tell me that our 15 year old dog was acting very lethargic and wouldn't stand up, and they thought she'd need to be put down. I broke down sobbing, because I'd been there right when we picked that puppy up 15 years prior, and she'd been the best dog over the course of her life. I grew up with that dog, and I was devastated. I went into my bosses office, crying, and let him know I needed to go to be there, but he told me I could only go if it was something that would only take half an hour. I kind of stared at him but he was being serious so I walked back out…

Does anyone have a good website to look up a companies yearly earnings?

A couple weeks? A month? I'm on my second week at a new job, and maybe it's just because my mental health is spiraling but I am not enjoying it like I thought I would/should. But I feel like a failure for wanting to leave so soon. I live at home with my folks, and do have some money saved up, so I'm considering taking some time to myself to get my life and mental well-being on track, but part of me feels like I should just stick it out and feel fortunate for even having a job

so my boss called me the other day and told me she can no longer pay me for 40 hours a week, but instead 30 hours. She said a lot of employees were getting cut hours for some reason…i cant quite remember what she said. I work as a cleaner, so i get to work for 4 hours, i go home when I’m done and get paid for the full 8 hours. It was great for me because i have pretty severe depression and anxiety so it’s great not having to stress. But now I’m panicking because i definitely won’t be making enough for me to live off of. I really don’t want to have to find a new job, as i love being paid for more than I’m actually working. Any advice or kind words would be appreciated. I really could use it right now

At a meeting the team was told to look at the other members on our team and realize that if we weren’t doing our job in full we were risking their livelihoods. That we would be the reason they can’t feed their children. We were threatened with being fired by management and told if we don’t want to do the work, we are welcome to leave. We were also told if we didn’t do the work and they fired us, that they would fight unemployment claims tooth and nail. This came from upper management who no doubt make easily 8-10x times what we do. I’m so sick and tired of toxic workplaces.
