Antiwork

Unless that’s illegal of course. But I would like to make sure I’m still working for a great company.

So I work in Las Vegas in a startup manufacturing plant. My unofficial partner had his sister die suddenly and tragically from a blood clot brought on by a drug overdose a few weeks ago (she was 36 and clean for a year and a half). So I flew out to the east coast with him to support him and be there through the process. I just found out that my job now wants an obituary for my bereavement time off(they are mega understaffed and quite frankly an abusive workplace). My question is this, can they request this sort of documention? I am not mentioned in the obituary at all but I am very close to the family (I am a pallbearer). Do I have to provide any additional documention to prove that I attended since I am not in the obituary? Just trying to cover my ass here.

Maybe I’m out of the loop cause I’ve been working odd jobs and not this clock in and out stuff for a while, so I simply don’t know what to expect. I’ve been doing my own thing for like 2 years now and need more money so… I applied and got it in a couple of days (very informal interview and all). I assume we will do all the hiring paperwork when I show up for my first shift in a couple hours but also I was told my schedule wouldn’t be part time or full time. It’d be like a 4pm to whenever a couple times a week. I like this because I can ease myself back into working with people but it also seems like they want control over me. Like since my shifts are open ended they’ll take advantage of me. Has anyone had similar experiences?

This means the consulting company maintained a small bench. When a consultant is not generating billable revenue, he is considered “on the bench”—being paid but not generating revenue. A large bench is very expensive, so consulting companies often pack a project with extra consultants if they have people on the bench. This is praised as being efficient, well managed, and streamlined, but it is very greedy and a little lazy: greedy because it makes customers pay for your benched staff whether the project needs them or not, and lazy because you could use these people to support other activities which actually benefit them, like training, teambuilding, internal company projects, etc.

I'm a Biomed at a small rural hospital, I was just promoted from maintenance to Biomed in November. I've been at this hospital for 3years now, I'm still “training” but have enough knowledge to handle a majority of our work orders. Theres only 2 of us in Biomed, we have been throwing around the idea of doing 4, 10's. Previously it was only the 1 biomed and he was struggling to handle the work load. I approached our boss this morning about the idea. He's open to it, his instructions were to draw up the schedule and submit it. We did, with two options. Monday through Thursday and Tuesday through Friday. My boss had a good question for us, if “Biomed” is a 2 man job. Why would this schedule work? This question is our plans downfall, how would you suggest selling this to our board of directors? [One of…
