First thing to pop up when I open Lowe’s HR. How about we simply don’t overwork employees to the point of “exhaustion and burnout”?

I’m an administrative assistant in a hospital. Since the beginning of the pandemic, my duties have doubled to include infection control and so much more with zero compensation to reflect it. Today I got my first real acknowledgment of my accomplishments by management.

What’s a good response if your boss tells you something along the lines of “if you quit you can’t come back” or “you can’t ever work here again”

Some context. I quit on the fly a short while ago and it’s been a back and forth trying to get my last paycheck. Today I’m finally going to get it but not before I have one last conversation with the boss. I can’t just go pick it up, he’s holding it specifically so I have to go see him again. I’ve heard others say that he’s told them be to never come back if they quit. I have 0 desire to ever go back and already found another job part of a union. Huge difference. Thanks in advance for your responses.

Help please…

Hello I'm a restaurant server. My boss has been cutting out hours and not granting us (me and my coworkers) double shifts, due to the fact that he doesn't want anyone taking breaks, on top of the fact the our management routinely makes us (the servers) pay for any walk out bills. Now I'm at my breaking point, but I'm a single dad who's just barely hanging on, my question is who do I go too to get these criminals fired, do I go to the police or HR. I'm just a 24 year old who's scared of losing his children because he's about to lose his job.

Middle- and lower-class treat homeless people the same way billionaires treat middle- and lower-class people.

I’m currently homeless. But I act like I’m not. I get haircuts, wear my nicer clothes, and try my best to act like I have places to be. When I go places like college campuses, sometimes workers will ask if I’m a student. I ask why they ask, and they say “Just making sure you’re not homeless. But you don’t look homeless, so never mind.” That nothing bad has happened to the spaces I’ve occupied proves there’s nothing wrong with homeless people occupying spaces. There’s just a lot of stigma and manufactures worry.

Quit my job yesterday, boss won’t stop calling me

I've told them my reason for leaving (personal reasons which I don't care to expand more on), and have told them that I'm happy to answer any questions and talk about the situation over text or email. However my boss keeps calling me (I happened to miss her call this morning because my phone was in the other room) and leaving me messages to call her back. Am I being unreasonable? I feel like if there's anything she wants to say or ask, she can do so with a paper trail. At this point I'm ready to tell her everything I was feeling – my thoughts on the company culture, that I wasn't enjoying the work, the fact that I'm leaving to focus on my mental health which has been rapidly spiraling just to get her to stop
