Antiwork

So first of all, I live in Europe/Austria. Atm with the covid situation, if you are positive, you need to stay 5 days at home. At the 6th day, you can test yourself again and if negative you can go back to work IF you are Symptom free. If not you need to stay at home a minimum of 10 days.(paid) Today Monday would be the day I should be able to go and test myself after the 5 days quarantine. But I was still feeling bad so I didn't go and I knew I was still sick. (Officially, if still sick , can stay at home for 10 days) So I called my boss and told him I'm not comming to work because I still have covid symptoms and I will prolly be taking the whole 10 days off (from the government said days I can take Officially) (that…

So I’m expected to cover my coworkers vacation plus my shift. So I’m looking at 7:30am-8pm shift Mon-Saturday. Should I say no? I really already hate my job and now this just makes me wanna walk out. What would you do?

Hi there! I don't post often but heres what I'm dealing with and just wanted to share! The setup: I work in higher education. My old position was one that paid 15 an hour, required a college degree, and mandatory overtime as there were not enough warm bodies to meet the hours. The work wasn't challenging – it was monotonous and time consuming. Mostly data entry of 1000+ students a week (at peak times), 3-400 email chains with students a week, 150+ phone calls a week to troubleshoot student questions, work through lunch since the office couldn't be empty as students were here to test, proctor and maintain test integrity, the list continues… The weird one was that part of my contract was to conduct Saturday testing of national exams (ACT, SAT, etc.). Their companies required that we sign a contract that stated we were not acting as employees of…

My friend has worked for a hospital for 20 years, and last year had a likely stress-induced mental health episode. She was briefly hospitalized at the very hospital she was (and remains) employed at until she stabilized. She took time off work after that as well, and got back to it a little while ago. She has to go in for regular checkups to make sure everything is still stable, (again, to emphasize, at a hospital affiliated with the one she works at.) but as of the last couple of appointments she was told that she was taking too much time off and even had her FMLA requests denied–something I didn't even know could happen. So…what's the deal? This is in Indiana, where the bill of employee rights is nine letters long and starts with “get,” but that can't be legal, right? They have full access to her medical records,…

Been working here for two weeks and I feel like there’s a couple of red flags I can’t ignore anymore. Apparently my hiring managers last week is this week and another employee that’s in charge of a different sector of my department is leaving this week and was only working for the company for two weeks. The person who worked my position before me was only there for a short time as well… So now the owner asked if I not only can be charge of my department but another part of the department as well thats 2 different job positions together. So now I’m basically working 3 peoples jobs. They told me they were gonna find new hires to replace everyone leaving but they haven’t found anyone. So far it’s been a hot mess with last minute calls scheduled in and my slack being blown up with messages from…

I don’t think it really matters, but for context, I’m a UX Designer (specifically UX Architect).
