Pushed out

Pushed out of my side job yesterday. They were so disrespectful that I quit. It’s only been a couple months of me serving. I am a single parent and told them straight up my child was my priority during my interview. They gave me nothing but positive feedback, covered other peoples shifts (including non serving shifts that didn’t pay as much) to help the restaurant. Their reasoning was that they were short staffed and couldn’t have someone that has a kid that’s more important than the restaurant. That I had “too much going on”. In 3 months- one occurrence of needing coverage for my kids birthday party that his parent invited me too / I can’t NOT go stop by. The other me thinking my custody might change since my kid told me a story of him being abused in the other parents care and me not knowing if CPS…

VP for one of Largest Canadian Telecoms

Bellow was sent over Slack: “Hello everyone – I'm typing this from (X Office) where (as a highly cautious COVID person) it feels quite safe and organized in all of the common spaces. As we prep for an April 4 return to the office 2-3 days per week, I'd like to encourage everyone to come in to work in person at least a couple of times in March while we are in this optional period. It'll give you a chance to try out the desk reservation system, make sure your gear all works (you know it won't be perfectly smooth after all of this time), figure out transportation and childcare, and just get used to a different routine. My first job here was a (X) tour guide, so I'll be offering free (X) tours to anyone that has joined the team since the pandemic started and has never been here…

Employer coercing google reviews

I used to work for a horrible small company. After separating I made sure to leave honest reviews on pretty much every site possible one being google maps. I check it occasionally and seen other people leaving bad reviews as well as many truckers as their logistics has been bad causing many truckers to wait hours, during a supply chain disruption/trucker shortage, so they were bombarded by bad reviews. So I checked again today and noticed there are several manager reviews all dated 3 weeks ago at 5 stars. I think the owner is forcing all the employees to leave a 5 star review or else as it’s kinda odd a small company with only a dozen managers all leaving reviews within the same time frame. They also done other shady stuff to effect reviews like open a 2nd indeed account to leave all the poor reviews behind. I tried…

If you could work from home without anyone knowing would you?

I work for an external company where I am expected to work in an institution most of the week. Being entirely honest, it's highly stressful and the service users I support can be jarring meaning my mental health is currently suffering. The staff at the institution aren't particularly nice, so I don't feel supported either, possibly as I'm external? and I think I just need a day away to just breathe, and maybe cry, who knows. Next week I plan to go to the company's main office for a day to get some work done as I have 3 deadlines as if I'm distracted by clients demanding my time at the institution it'll mean I'll be needing to do overtime to meet the deadlines. However, I figured that if I tell the company I'm at the institution for that day and the institution I'm at the company I could effectively…

If corporations have the same right as people, why don’t people have the same rights as corporations?

If anyone out there that speaks legalese can enlighten me , I really want to know. It was some years ago this law was passed, and ever since its made me wonder nearly every day, if corporations have the same rights as individuals, then why can't we as individuals start a running invoice on every company? Put me on hold? That ll cost you. Make me wait in line? That will cost you. Want me to be on call 24/7… here's the bill for my hours. Is it not possible to file a class action lawsuit ,since they set the precedent that corporations and people are the same thing, for a retroactive payment for all the time we have been literally FORCED to pay attention to their advertising? if I tried to force a CEO to listen to me … I would have to pay for an appointment , or…

Company reduced my pay without any notice what to do?

Hello everybody! I need some help again don't know if this is the right group to post in, but honestly I’m getting tired with life and really need help 🙁 wish I was a bit more educated about this stuff. Anyways I’ve been with this big company close to two years. I was given a raise when moved locations, but as I was checking my pay stub I noticed this whole month my pay rate went back to what it was before mind you I’ve been at this new location for 2 to 5 months. Did not get any type of communication whatsoever about my pay raise being taken away. I live in Los Angeles C.A. Going to call in Tuesday morning, but wanted some input on this situation. Can they do that ? Is it even freaking legal !? Forgot to mention I do have employment verification forms from…

March 27: I don’t allow the insults and grievances of daily life to consume me. I direct my rage to prepare for class war.
