Antiwork

I was working for a cooperate barbershop. I put in my two weeks notice today (really 18 days) because I received a new job offer from a completely out of beauty industry company. The company decided that they would except my resignation, but effective immediately. Is this considered involuntary termination? To the best of my knowledge, they haven’t given me an option for a severance package or are going to be paying me for the two weeks Edit l: I’m currently in the US, more specifically Colorado if that matters

I work at a Builder Merchant in the UK, and they got a new manager in October. He’s an absolute cockend I won’t lie. Constant stupid decisions that we told him will not work, but he doesn’t listen to anyone and just has to try them. For instance, moving all 30 pallets of the small sand bags 10ft to the left. This meant they moved over into car parking spaces, but it’s okay because ‘they look nicer’. Naturally customers kept using them as brakes and damaged them. So of course, we had to spend another hour of our lives moving them back to the right. ‘I had to try the idea, the yard looked better that way but customers ruined it.’ No, it looked shit and you put sand in the parking spaces. Fast forward to Tuesday, he takes me in for a ‘chat’, told me that in his grand…

Minimum wage workers or working class people working shitty underpaid and overworked jobs for 30-40-50 years on end… How come the suicide rate isn't much higher? They function as slaves to the corps

I’m in Washington state, and realized I accrued quite a few hours regarding my part time employment. I work 23 hours a week and I’ve earned around 48 hours of paid and floating holiday hours. My contract is expiring in two months and I just noticed my hours. My employers didn’t tell me anything until I brought it up. I asked to take some time off and they told me they’d have to go to a “higher up” because I’m requesting a Friday off each week to offset my accrued hours. They weren’t going to let me take two weeks off at once so this was the best solution I could find. My reason was I’m in grad school and I have a heavy course load to take this semester. I teach kids for an after school program Monday-Friday btw and hours are tight. 4.5-5 hours a day. I have…

I work in a hospital. I understand sometimes we are short staffed. This past week, 3 people were on vacation and 3 people were on leave. That's 6 people out. With this information, I try and request 4 days off in June where 2 days weren't full to request and 2 days were full but were weekends and not everybody works weekends. Only 3 people are on vacation at that time and no one is on leave. It seemed like a reasonable request. However, it was denied because “too many people are off”. This is the same supervisor who gives her buddies 3 day weekends every other week. Too many people are off yet you had 6 people off last week and I mainly work the evening shift that isn't that staffed on weekends anyways. How is this fair? I'd understand if more people were out and they weren't weekends…

I literally just got a new job. Like just finished training, I'm a waitress, and I talked to my manager about how I'd only want 3, Maybe 4, shifts tops. They're shorter shifts 5 to 8 hours but it's still a lot after 3 days in a row. So here I am at 1am getting email notifications about how they last minute scheduled me for 5 days in a row new week. I'm honestly thinking about quitting even though it's only been two weeks.
