Antiwork

So I work a shitty office job AND have occasionally debilitating panic attacks/general anxiety related issues. Long story short, I ended up requiring a mental health day today but, knowing from experience if I simply told them that it'd mean weeks and weeks of meeting with managers/HR “just to check in” so I ended up contacting the office saying a family emergency had come up and I would give more info tomorrow. Problem is I've got nothing, so whats a plausible bs family emergency I could provide that would require only a single day off but would not invite too many follow up questions? Extra info: I don't have kids, I live with my gf but we're walking distance from both sets of parents- may be relevant idk

My mom works at a retail store. She doesn't speak that much English, but enough to get by. So far, at work, they have been targeting her often. They always call her to tell her not to come to work anymore because they're “cutting hours”. For example, she was supposed to come into work on Thursday. On Wednesday at 10 pm she got a text in a group chat telling her “hey ___ we are cutting hours so please take the day off tomorrow”. They only sent her that. They didn't text anybody else in the group chat, just her. Another weird incident was when my mom was scheduled to go into work on Saturday. Then one of her managers left her a voicemail on Friday to not come into work. This manager is not the same one that hired her. So she didn't show up because they told her…

Not trying to sound butthurt, but there's always so much talk about Millennials, Gen-Z and even Boomers these days with regard to the whole “work” equation. Uh, us X'ers are largely fucked too and I never hear much about it. Thoughts?

Hi, I filed multiple complaints with HR regarding an employee stalking me during working hours, and after work for 6 months! HR informed her of my complaints, investigated and never laid the employee off. Apparently the employee stated I was the troublemaker, and she never had any issues with other employees (that's a lie). Eventually, I had to be the one to leave. Then I sued them (NDA). The start of my employment I had to provide to this employee my driver's license, passport and social security card for I9 purposes. When I left that employer, I did research on her and came across a profile of her sister leading me to an article stating she was jailed for identity theft. The stalker is getting information on my employment due to the information provided to her. The following year, I'm working. I've had 2 employers in the past year! I…

I am a first year law student, this was for a 1L internship, which are aimed at learning the ropes of the legal field. They wanted me to conduct a case study of their website using federal regulations, to find any issues or ambiguities in their disclosures and present it to the CCO and COO as my second interview. They were asking me to do free work for them before I even got the internship. Not to mention that this sort of thing is what I am supposed to be learning DURING an internship. I “respectfully” withdrew my application. So fed up with this.

Which mask should I wear when I answer? Horse head, Scream mask, or scary Santa?

Today my boss got a nice bonus… Just 10% of her paycheck (bout 5k). What the hell did I get for putting in all the time and effort as night shift, personally doing my best to make sure that we don't have stuff expire and put up for flash foods so it looks good on her record? I got a whole 10 dollars off groceries at my store…that I never shop at and a 20 cent candy bar… I fucken hate everything. I was on the edge about this subreddit because I was raised with the mentally of “and job worth your time is worth doing well”…but this just feels like a kick in the teeth…guess it's apart of growing up…. Anywho sorry for the rant, just wanted to vent a bit. Thanks for your time and for listening to my bullshit…have a good day guys. Edit: Grammer

So I’ve recently found out that my company is trying to get me to sign a document that states if I leave the company within 2 years that they will make me pay back all of the expenses(Airfare,hotel, car rental, cost of the class) related to training. They say that training for my job is no different than if I was to go back to college and earn a degree while they are footing the bill. Is this even legal?
