A Week After

So, I posted on here about a week ago about me being fired from my job. Idk how to link things so just look on my profile if you want. I really don't know how I'm gonna make it. I don't have my HS diploma or GED, so that takes a ton of jobs out for me. I only really have food service/management experience, & so few places around me are hiring for those. Those that are are paying too little to pay my bills. I'm at risk of losing my place, my life really. I know this isn't really what this sub is for, but I really hate that I have to work in order to live any type of nice life.

It should be illegal to make you fill out extra paper work to get what you earned.

I’ve worked at a few IT places that made me do on-call which is somewhat common in the industry. Place #1 first tried to tell me that’s only for “their” employees since I was doing work for another company but I told them I won’t do it simply, so they said fine I’ll pay you but you have to fill out this form, I fill it out and I don’t get paid I have to hound them for it. Months go on same old song and dance so I let my self get fired. Job 2, no problem paying me the on-call pay but again if any over time or on call is performed we have to fill out a form. This company wanted a printed sheet to be signed by me and the supervisor which was a pain in the ass since neither of us were in the office.…

Where should loyalty rank?

So as I’m giving my 2 week notice to my bosses boss because my boss said it was respectful. Whatever just get me the eff out of here right? So when I’m giving him notice he tells me my position merits a one month notice not a two week notice. The other thing he said was about how if I wanted to climb the ranks I would eventually have to find a company I can be loyal to. So 1. I know a one month notice is all benefit for the organization and all risk for the employee. 2. If this is true where should loyalty rank when choosing to stay or leave an organization? TLDR: when should loyalty if ever come into consideration when deciding to stay or leave an employer?

A doctor at my workplace was caught having sexual relations with a manager by my colleague and senior management tried to cover it up.

Throwaway account of course. TL-DR: Doctor was getting a blowjob from a clinical manager, practice manager and head office tried to cover it up by saying the witness saw it wrong. Staff leaving left, right and centre (me included) because management is toxic af. FK YOU PHIL, you POS. Recently, a doctor at a specialist clinic I work at was caught having sexual relations with the clinical manager in the early hours of a workday. My colleague was opening up the clinic at 6am that day and part of the opening process is turning on all the lights and computers in all of the consult and testing rooms. When this colleague of mine walked into one of the doctor's office, lo and behold, the clinic manager was on her knees giving a blowjob to the doctor of that office. As soon as my colleague opened the door, she saw everything…

Possible solution

If the majority of the people stopped going to work, stopped buying shit, and stopped paying taxes we could easily bring down governments and greedy politicians and the rich. We would just need to organize and we can definitely do it with the modern day technology that we have available now.

Plausible Theory on WFH Resistance

Okay, so I was mulling over and speculating why Work From Home is getting so much backlash from companies (that aren't Google, Apple or others that prove WFH can be a vital asset to the company) and after seeing cubicle culture, real estate insights and viewpoints from admins, I think I see a grander picture. Many businesses thrive on the footwork and commute of the metropolitan/big city working class. Partly why masses of workers are concentrated closer to the center of those cities, since more pedestrians = more potential customers. On the way going to and from work, you pick up meals, hit up the gyms, get some shopping done, check out events, drink at bars, etc. Now imagine if a massive amount of jobs made the workplace your home. Not every single job, mind you, but enough to make a significant cut of pedestrian and vehicle traffic. SUDDENLY, those…
