Being crippled sucks
I have been losing my ability to walk for the last 6 years yet this stupid state refuses to give me disability because I'm 27 well a little problem with that I'm unable to stand for more than 5 minutes without my knees bucking because the muscles in my legs are almost gone because of a stupid disease
Gift from Pharmacist
Yesterday I got lucky, I've been in contact with some poeple who tested postive to COVID yesterday. So I went to test myself. Spoke a bit with the pharmacist, he asked about my employement and the rules of my compagny regarding work from home. If tested positive we get to WFH, otherwise back to the office. The pharmacist tells me I'm Negative and wink at me. When i get home I receive the official email, stating that I am Positive. Thanks to him!
Is this considered on call?
I recently started working as a package handler at a large company and I do not have my senority yet and am not in the union yet. They make new hires call in to see of they're needed for the day. They have you call in at 3 am. Usually if you're not needed you go back to sleep. Earlier this week I called in and they said I wasn't needed so I went back to sleep. They tried to call me in 45 minutes later but I didn't hear my phone. So they were short staffed that day. The manager acted like I did something wrong though I never agreed to be on call. Usually I'll answer the phone and go in if someone calls out because I want to work and I want hours. The way the manager has handled this has rubbed me the wrong way. So…
I don’t plan on using them as a reference. I did not give permission to contact. I genuinely worked there (unpaid), but I slightly adjusted the dates by a little bit (a few months). I just.. I need this job and I’m prepared to dig myself out of this hole by gaining legitimate office work and putting accurate dates on there. I worked at a previous place for four months and they didn’t catch it, I left for other reasons. I’m going to be replacing my “false” employment with true and accurate employment… I just need a break and I have no connections in the industry.
CNBC: How much job-hopping is too much? Here's what hiring managers say. https://www.cnbc.com/2022/03/30/great-resignation-what-hiring-managers-think-of-job-hopping.html
Hi everyone! I just recently started working for a new company that has been operational for a small amount of time too. So I signed my contract and was hired and noticed that the person hiring me was hiring me for another company of theirs but I thought whatever. Anyway, I’ve only started last week and they are meant to pay today. I check my balance and nothing no pay. Monday I had finally chased my boss down and given him the required paperwork and account details and he sort of did stuff on the computer in front of me so I assumed he had set me up for payroll. This morning when I wake up, I haven’t been paid and the boss is asking me to work from 10/6 instead of 9/5 so he can train me. I refused stating childcare etc and I won’t be doing anyone favours…
Two weeks ago I put in my notice of resignation to my employer. The following day I received the results of my bonus payouts and my raise. On this day I was paid a spot bonus of $2500 for exemplary performance during 2021. I have a letter documenting this. Today I received my normal bonus that was metric based deposited into my account. When I looked at my paystub it seemed off. I then noticed that they deducted the $2500 spot bonus from my pay that they gave me last pay period-essentially taking it back. I am not sure if this even legal (I'll be checking). Friday was to be my last day but I am about to go into work and pack all my shit up and leave before my boss gets there. I was thinking about how I could get some retribution before I left (legally of course)…
So this is basically just me venting to the sub because I feel like most people in my life don't really understand. To start off, I know I'm in a relatively good position, as I live in a country with mostly free healthcare and better accomodations for disabled people than most. Still sucks, though. I was a ~'gIfTeD cHiLd'~ and have a better education than anyone in my family, but we were fucking poor and disfunctional and could never afford stuff like tutoring, extracurriculars or even goddamn school lunches. I dropped out of Uni because I kept having panic attacks because of the money problems. Every time I started building something for myself I ended up in the mental hospital and then back at square one. It got so far that some pencil pusher from the government decided 'MJ can't work 4 hours a day, so…fuck them I guess' and…
Who the fuck remembers previous coworkers' details to use as references who aren't supervisors?
