Antiwork

tl;dr : Our new “landlord” found a litterbox and i'm upset about it. https://preview.redd.it/r9zgnuvzwet81.jpg?width=4608&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=129d36e63c5d39338116650ec6813e41030629b1 Came home from work to find this on my doorstep in a plastic bag (not even hanging on the door). I'm so appalled and outraged in so many ways I don't even know where to begin. Story: My Fiance and I have been living in this apartment complex for almost two years now. Today, while I was at work, she let in pest control for their monthly routine spray. However, this time it went a little differently than usual. Following behind our “bug guy” was a woman with a clipboard, who he introduced as the new “Property Manager™”. Their interaction was brief, and my wonderful Fiance went about her day as usual. Then I got home to find the attached images. ​ We got hit with a $150 fee for having an ” ” Illegal Pet…

I’ve been working every Saturday for the past 7 months, 10 hour shifts. This Saturday is the first Saturday in a long time that my friend will be in town, and might be the last time for a good minute. Because of my status of employment within the company, I don’t get any pto, so I can’t put in a request even if I wanted to. What would be the best way to call in? I’m leaving soon so I’m not too worried about it coming back to bite me, but I also don’t want to just no call no show. Figured this would be the best sub to ask.

I done a short course (2 days) just to access the agencies services and jobs board. I've applied for maybe 20 jobs and they only actually sent maybe 3 to an employer. Which is absolutely ridiculous. On top of that they sent me for an interview for a role I really wanted and when I failed because they didn't give me the right information, the woman tried to blame me and not herself and is now playing coy with the interviews phone number because the only real feedback I got was that I “didn't seem to know what the role would entail”. Which I'm not happy with I want more details on the specifics. Now I need to go in tomorrow to finish off the paperwork but then they'll get a substantial lump sum for me doing the course and any desire to help will just go. I'm pretty nervous…

TLDR: Boss lies about a lot of things and I keep catching him in his own BS without him knowing. I don't trust him and since he doesn't even answer the phone for employment verification, I just want to get fired. He moved for reasons I don't understand and does a lot of micromanaging and annoying crap. I have my own business I want to start but I'm stuck under his thumb. What do? This situation sucks. I'm not venting as much as trying to get a consensus on the situation. I was about to quit this company I'm currently working at when the COVID-19 pandemic started. At that time, I saw everyone getting laid off, but MAKING MORE MONEY while I continued working from home. People getting paid for doing nothing. (I have no issue with it except not being able to enjoy it.) I got to work from…

Need some advice here about what next steps should happen in response to a really rough meeting I just had with my manager and supervisor. Let me set the stage here: I work for a county parks and recreation department in WA state doing the mowing and other such horticultural activities. I’ve worked in parks and rec for a very long time doing just about everything there is, as well as general managing a few private landscape companies. I am very good at maintenance. I started with the county and worked my ass off the last year to get many of their parks (which were not in good shape) back to a high-standard of aesthetic as well as doing some extra work that needed done (redoing some of the parks irrigation systems, weeding that hadn’t been done in god knows how long, hitting a few extra parks to help out…

A common response here to unfair employer practices is “report them to the labor board!) i’m curious if anyone has actually successfully done that? how long did it take, what was the final result??
