Owners secretary said to put my son in another room and join the meeting.

As the title states. I'm an (M) working as a chef for a meal prep company. Their main office is located in a different country and since they don't have daylight savings like in the US, their meeting run late for me and early for them. I pick up my 7 month son from the sitters at 3pm. And they want me to attend the meeting at 3:30pm which before use to be at 2:15pm a few weeks ago. And they refused to move it and come earlier over there and want me to stay later but I can't. Conversation went something like this Secretary: Are you joining the meeting? Me: No I can't I have my son. I pick him up at 3pm Secretary: Well put him down in another room and join the meeting Me: When I get home, I change him and feed him and he wants…

What it means to be hourly

Ok so I do enjoy my job and the people about 80% of the time. However they don’t seem to understand that hourly means when I’m clocked out and gone I’m gone. Heck I’ve informed my bosses and those who work under me I’m taking a day off. I told them all a month ago with regular reminders. Now that the day is getting closer they are all like “ok well if anything goes wrong we will call you” I told them I wouldn’t answer and they all acted shocked. Yes I am a supervisor but here’s some things they ought to know. 1. I am paid by the hour. Meaning once I’m clocked out I’m done. 2. I am taking a day off I requested and had approved a month ago. 3.

Citibank forcing employees to come back to office is a disgrace

I have a couple of colleagues who ended up working for Citibank and during the height of the pandemic they were allowed to work fully remote, and it was incredible. Productivity sword higher than ever before, and they were able to get so much more done, as well as working within their business hours, and not having to deal with the costs of a commute… Well now, anyone who is fully vaccinated must return on a hybrid schedule. Anyone who's not vaccinated obviously is at risk of being sick because they are much more susceptible, so they are not obligated to return at all. It's optional for them to return or not. But for people who are fully vaccinated, they have no choice whatsoever. Screw this scumbag company and I hope no one ever goes to work for them again.
