Wow. And yet nothing ever changes…
Been remote since March 2020. Company had us come back into the office last week. 3 days in the office 2 at home. For my job you just need a computer and a phone. Ever since coming back and sitting in my cubicle I get angry over the fact I wasted my gas and an hour in traffic to get here to just sit in front of a computer which I can easily be doing at home. Iast Tuesday I got up and just left midshift because I couldn't take it. I have been using all my sick time on the days in the office and have a meeting tomorrow with my manager and hr about this. I was already told we must be in the office 3 days no exception so I already know how this meeting will go. I've been applying already plan to leave asap. Anyone else…
rich gets richer, poor remains poorer …
Ive never heard of this before, but today i got an email from our regional manager about a coworker's family member passing away and them needing to take a leave of absence. After stating this, she asked us (5 different offices, hundreds of employees) if anyone could possibly donate their PTO to help this coworker through the hardship…. This is the most garbage BS ever. Aside from the fact that im a new employee and dont even know this person, a massive international, multi-million dollar company is asking us to donate our hard earned PTO days when we barely get any to begin with. What kind of a garbage world do we live in where corporations dont have paid leave for emergency situations like this?
