Televangilist Keneth copeland says he needs a $36 million jet because it is what jesus would do. He makes millions of dollars of tax free money when his average employees only make $19 an hour.

I just found out my work called my dentist to confirm my doctor’s note was true.

I'm fed up. I'm angry. I've never once lied to this company and have been treated poorly. I just found out my boss called my dentist to confirm my doctors note was real. I feel like this is discrimination but am not sure. Do I have any legal recourse? I don't believe it's policy of the place to call and confirm every doctors note is real. I haven't actually seen anywhere that a doctors note is required by the organization, but have been asked to provide one each time I haven't been able to come in.

Requests Off for Religious Reasons

Hi guys! So I’m a devout practicing Catholic and this next week is Holy Week. I just used several of my PTO days for personal and family obligations and don’t want to use more PTO. I currently work from 3-11:30 pm with split days off on Sunday and Wednesday. My company does tech support and we’re fairly large as there are several thousand employees altogether including a few hundred in my position. It’s a work from home call center job. Our company does not have generous or flexible PTO. However, we can call out for any reason. The downside? We rack up points and can be penalized for too many occurrences. Our policy incentivizes people who call out fewer than 5 times within a 90 period and does not differentiate between illnesses and personal days. I’ve called out three times within the last 90 days. We’re also allowed to submit…

Maybe you guys can help me? I’m on WC and wanna get another job.

I’m on workers comp from my main FT job, but wanna pick up a PT/FT somewhere else. My injury for the most part is (probably) okay. (Waiting on insurance to get me my doctors appointments. I can walk and move it, etc) I hurt my knee on heavy machinery and have been out since 1/30/22. I got a “light work” note from my FT and they can’t accommodate/ don’t have light duty stuff, so I get to stay home. This job I’m looking at would be able to meet my needs as I continue waiting for the insurance company to get me the doctors appointments I need, file paperwork and get it to the right destination, etc. Can I do this? Being they can actually meet my needs (sitting in a chair when necessary, etc.) I don’t see why not? It’s not like the not says I can’t work AT…

I’m deciding between two jobs, need some Marxist/anti-work perspectives

Current job: -$57750 salary (will be at least $60k in July), still low for my title -Offered me mostly remote work moving forward when I lied and said I was leaving to work remote (hypothetically saving me 138 hours of commute time annually) -13 days PTO annually (14 in July), 6 paid holidays -Historically had a boss that worked me to death. I spoke to HR and he was actually fired, and the CEO apologized personally -Still haven’t replaced that boss 2 months later so I’ve been on my own -CEO is still really demanding about our revenue which I don’t have much control over -Have given me 2 raises and 2 promotions in the last year and my temporary boss advocates for me. They would probably make up a new, better title for me if I wanted it a year from now -Recently have realized I can streamline most…
