Wtf is this bs?!

So I accepted a work from home position simply taking phone calls, and scheduling…only to get an email today informing me I also have to get a drug test BY MONDAY. For starters this is brand new info to me as this wasnt mentioned before (literally JUST got the email from them half an hour from wirting this), but what gets me is im literally sitting AT HOME ANSWERING PHONE CALLS! WTF…how in the actual fuck in 2022 are employers still this fucking caught up on drug testing, let alone for a position that doesnt even require I get out of bed if Ididnt feel like. I dont even have any troubles having to pass, but this sit is just beyond stupid af.

planning a mass quit at my fast food job

im not sure if this is the right place to post this, but im currently 16 and working at KFC. my store goes through phases where a lot of people quit and they obviously have to bring new people on. we just went through one of these. now, my friends and i (about 4 of us) are some of the most experienced people in the store who aren’t managers or shift supervisors. now for people who NEED experienced workers, as we have a high amount of trainees on every single shift, they do not treat us well. so my friend and i were talking about all four of us quitting at the same time. i think it’s an awesome idea, especially because it probably means they will have to answer to someone about why four employees who have been loyal to the company have quit at the same time. i…

Was this bs or does it sound normal?

Please don’t share this. I just need advice. I was termed yesterday because “there isn’t any work for me.” It was confusing considering they posted my position, then took it down, made me train another lady how to do my job (she already worked there), and also gained 5 new clients so there is no way there isn’t anything for me to do. I am a fast worker, I’ll admit that, but seriously?! No way. Also in the morning he asked me to get some numbers for him. I did. He called someone to say I was wrong, and they assured him that wasn’t the case and whoever handled another doc was the one that’s wrong. He still took me off the project. That was weird and why I think it was premeditated. BUT, this happened after I called someone out on racism. They asked if they could go to…

wife’s employer let her go for reasons outside her control

So, my (27M) wife (27F) has been working for a tire dispatch company for truckers and think company with a blimp. My wife was one of the only 2 that actually made it past the training, they were unnecessary strict when it came to what they expected, and she has been working through out the last year as hard as she can. Well, recently they decided to let her go. Part of the problem is that we live in an apartment that is super noises, people slamming door and stomping up and down the stair case. We have tried everything from leaving notes to talking to management; literally, no one will listen to us. The second problem is that my health has deteriorated recently. My seizures have become more frequent, and my eyesight has gotten worse, along with recently being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Well, this last Sunday, I…

My work evaluation is suspiciously weird

For context, it was a scale of 1-5 Some of the most interesting feedback: General Appearance: “Sam comes to work dressed appropriately every day” Score: 3 How can I get more appropriate then the dress code? I don’t feel like getting up and searching for the title of the category but two conflicting feedback came in, one said “Sam often needs reassurance when program planning” and another said “Sam needs to utilize all his resources, including his supervisor”. Am I meant to utilize my supervisor or plan programs without asking for reassurance? Attendance: “Sam shows up to work every day he is scheduled, on time, and calls to let his supervisor know if he is going to be late ahead of time” Score: 3 How do I get a better score then that? Should I leave school to come early and stay late? This is some BS considering I’ve volunteered…

We’re going to party at work at talk shit!

I don't know if this breaks rule 3 but this is gonna be a blast. I was saving up for a vehicle and trailer to live the nomadic life style I've dreamed of since ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. When I reached my financial goal I quit the most toxic job I've ever worked for. The next day they begged me back so I returned. I felt bad I was the only one in my position who covered my hours, did everything expected, and did more then my job required along with the promise to train a few replacements. Well 7ish months later and the fire me the day before 5 new people were set to replace me and their reasoning, I had a doctor's appointment. They also lied to unemployment that I had walked off, but luckily unemployment investigated this. My old place was a popular Boondocking spot, free camp for trailers/RVs…
