Help! Medical reasons to tell my boss so I can remain working remote?

Hey yall, my place of work has decided to return to the office full time after working for months remote. It's a move from the higher ups and our managers aren't overly keen on it, but nothing they can do until the powers above write some formal procedures to work remote if they so choose. Now being that the infrastructure to work remote remains, I'm hoping to remain working from home. My work has to accomodate any sort of medical restrictions and I'm wondering if any of you have had success presenting something specific to your manager that allowed you to stay remote? I hate to abuse the “system” but it's been nothing but positive for my productivity and family's wellbeing. My family doctor is very understanding and would probably write anything I need as long as it doesn't go as far as complete fabrication, but I'm open to anything.…

Kindercare and their BS

OK so I’ve been a long time lurker of this sub Reddit and I have finally decided to post. My girlfriend essentially manages a kindercare location And the bullshit that can be seen at the various levels of management is absolutely infuriating. First off, lots and lots and lots of licensing issues. Ratio issues, being under ratio, over ratio with the amount of kids versus the amount of staff available. Lack of respect and empathy for staff. There’s only one person at this particular location that could be considered my girlfriend‘s boss and that boss is sad on numerous occasions that she doesn’t care about any of the staff that work there that have been there for years whereas my girlfriends been there for six months and confided in her not to tell everybody. I just wanted to say that if you are reading this and you have children enrolled…

Reprimanded for a report by an ultra-religious non-customer

About 6 years ago, a religious extremist in a Utah-based faith I went to high school with decided to report a non-business social media post I made on my own time, with mild regional profanity. She is not a customer of my company. HR, upon receiving such a report, reached out to my manager to ask him to discuss and to ask me to remove the post and reference to where I work. I feel HR should have ignored and filed her complaint in the circular file as it had zero to do with my job and was on my own time and equipment. Ever since then, I give my managers a poor annual assessment. It’s not his fault, he’s just a cog in the system, but I think he should have pushed back on such a petty thing.

Creative Focused Action in Great Numbers

I think it’s time we all stop making Reddit posts about how terrible these wealthy bastards are and instead start brainstorming creative ways to get even. We out number these bastards. If we put our minds to it, and work with focus and patience and get organized we can bring them to their knees. Anyone have a really creative idea they’ve been sitting on? All we need is one crazy, out of the box tactic and a million or so people committed to it to accomplish anything. Once it works we can pick the next tactic. I think it’s time to fight dirty. What are your best ideas?

I’m 23 and just found out I have permanently damaged my back due to work. What should I do?

I’ve already told my manager about it and that I’ve been advised against all heavy lifting by my doctors. I was told “you work in a warehouse, if you can’t lift anything then you are of no use here”. I live in a small town in the UK and I’m studying for my degree but I won’t be finished for another 3yrs. Do i just stick it out or what? My manager has also threatened to fire me for working slowly because of the injury but when he heard a coworker telling me to sue the company he came in being all nice and friendly which is bullshit obviously. I have been told that it’ll be very difficult to prove the injury happened at work so I’m not sure what to do with that either

Everyone who works at Kaiser Permanente should have gotten a $26,000 bonus last year instead it was stolen from them by the equity holders of their regional members of the ownership consortium

Kaiser made $8.1 billion in net profit last year and has 304,220 employees. We're this evenly distributed (could also be on a per hour basis) that is $26,625 per employee, if they owned an equal share of the company. Reject the ownership class, reclaim the profits of your labor
