Screw Paladin Security

Basically the heading. Paladin is a terribly managed company who completely mishandled the covid pandemic. Managers were all working from home pretty much asap, while most of the rest of the office staff were forced to continue to work on site. I worked in a large room that housed 3 teams, so they moved two of those teams out in order to “comply with covid protocols” but moved both of those teams to a much smaller conference room and set us up facing each other so that we were all breathing at each other. One staff member had a girlfriend who returned from a trip in China and was ordered to isolate at home, he requested to be able to work from home temporarily and was promptly denied. So he tried to just use his PTO to stay home instead and was told if he didn't continue to come in…

When the rich get scammed, people go to jail

I think this news is relevant because the few times you see people go to prison for financial crimes happen when the rich themselves are hurt.

I feel bad for my previous employer

But not really… I used to work at a pretty well known private members club as the head bartender. Most of the clientele were in the influencer business, or celebrities. Basically I was hired before the location opened, and there was only one person above me in my department, the bar manager. Upon opening we immediately found ourselves completely unable to keep up with all the bullshit going on around us. Every single day we were forced to work over hours, with not enough staff, and had to bend the rules constantly. Even if one of the members was abusively rude to us, we had to just take it and move on. The club consisted of 6 bars over 3 floors. Normally we'd have a minimum of 2 bartenders per bar but after a month the upper management forced us to downsize and many of the bartenders were made to…

What’s your “Oh, my employer just does NOT trust me” story?

At my current (soon to be former) employer, the greenhouse gets 30+ degrees in winter. I get faint easily, and the kids complain about the heat. After I opened a window once, they told me that it was a policy breach … and then removed the damn opener handles. Bro you could have just asked me I also still haven't been given the WiFi password after a year and a half of working there. Think “going to the front desk whenever the internet resets” kinda deal
