Can I report a business to the BBB or my state department of health for not training their employees to handle healthcare crises?

There is a company I know of that was doing contract work for different healthcare organizations before the pandemic. They are now doing pandemic related work, however, they are not training their employees to handle when a caller could be in crisis, which recently caused an issue. The training is horrible and this company has a reputation for not being good. Unlike every other job I have seen, they do not require any healthcare background for their employees and are clearly not hiring people who understand what it means to call vulnerable populations. I'm worried that the people they call are not safe. Is this grounds to report to the BBB or the state department of health? Does anybody know f another community that might have some insight too?

What’s YOUR definition of capitalism?

I've noticed that people don't really have a grip on what they actually think capitalism is. It's just a *waves vaguely* system. About money? And there's business? If you had to write the dictionary definition of capitalism, what would you write?

Nepotism screws me over

Not sure if this post fits antiwork but here goes. Took a new job closer to home. I had a good job, but the new job offered a shorter commute, more money, and less responsibility. I get hired and they have someone “who's pretty good with computers” help me start to get acclimated. Third day CFO comes to me asks me to take over a project because he needs that person showing me how to navigate the new company. I see they have 2 internet connections from the same company that begins with a V. Knowing a redundant line is worthless if it comes from the same company I ask questions. I get told the owner doesn't want the employees streaming music and sharing the same network as the business data network. I say oh that's easily solved. You segment that employee traffic so it doesn't touch the data network.…

Made $80 at work today. Came home to find my landlord wanting over $600 (PLUS +$25/mo) for having two cats in the home. How is this legal??

tl;dr : Our new “landlord” found a litterbox and i'm upset about it. https://preview.redd.it/r9zgnuvzwet81.jpg?width=4608&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=129d36e63c5d39338116650ec6813e41030629b1 Came home from work to find this on my doorstep in a plastic bag (not even hanging on the door). I'm so appalled and outraged in so many ways I don't even know where to begin. Story: My Fiance and I have been living in this apartment complex for almost two years now. Today, while I was at work, she let in pest control for their monthly routine spray. However, this time it went a little differently than usual. Following behind our “bug guy” was a woman with a clipboard, who he introduced as the new “Property Manager™”. Their interaction was brief, and my wonderful Fiance went about her day as usual. Then I got home to find the attached images. ​ We got hit with a $150 fee for having an ” ” Illegal Pet…

Best way to call in sick?

I’ve been working every Saturday for the past 7 months, 10 hour shifts. This Saturday is the first Saturday in a long time that my friend will be in town, and might be the last time for a good minute. Because of my status of employment within the company, I don’t get any pto, so I can’t put in a request even if I wanted to. What would be the best way to call in? I’m leaving soon so I’m not too worried about it coming back to bite me, but I also don’t want to just no call no show. Figured this would be the best sub to ask.

I need some support to help me ghost an agency.

I done a short course (2 days) just to access the agencies services and jobs board. I've applied for maybe 20 jobs and they only actually sent maybe 3 to an employer. Which is absolutely ridiculous. On top of that they sent me for an interview for a role I really wanted and when I failed because they didn't give me the right information, the woman tried to blame me and not herself and is now playing coy with the interviews phone number because the only real feedback I got was that I “didn't seem to know what the role would entail”. Which I'm not happy with I want more details on the specifics. Now I need to go in tomorrow to finish off the paperwork but then they'll get a substantial lump sum for me doing the course and any desire to help will just go. I'm pretty nervous…
