Ode to the trauma

Y’all ever have arguments in your head with past bosses who have traumatized you? I quit a job March 2020 with an overweight old Italian boss who loved to scream at me and still now am defending myself in my head to him real dumb.

The problem with the hostile take-over of antiwork is that you all have stockholm syndrome and think its ok for employers to act like wifebeaters

Just the title. When a man works hard for his wife that is his choice. That does not give him the right to abuse and manipulate the women into doing whatever he desires. The same should be for employers. Just because you pay someone for their time does not mean you can lay out the boundaries for what is and isn't ok. You can't turn around 12 months later with a new contract and say “but you have a choice, you can leave any time you like”. I guess thats the one difference, society thinks we have a choice in this matter. note: wifebeating can be exclusively verbal.

Yelled at by boss for having covid

I (f18) work part time in a pub. Yesterday, I was on a 12-11pm shift with a break 3-4pm. I developed a sore/tickly throat while on the first part of my shift. I live with my parents a 2 minute drive from my work and my mum (f53) was really lovely and picked me up for my break. I thought I should probably test just in case it was covid, expecting nothing of it. I was hungry, and knew you can't eat before doing a covid test, so I did one pretty much as I got in the door so that I could eat and have time to relax on my break (I have ADHD so the restaurant environment can be very overstimulating). The test came back instantly and strongly positive. I stayed calm and tried calling the deputy manager (m28?) on duty at the time to let them know,…

UK government:- You have covid. You have to isolate for ten days.

Sick pay is £19 a day. “Hey I can't live of £19 a day, can you change that seeing as you're making me stay at home by law” UK government “Ok we will end isolation requirements and you can go back to work” No. Not like that.
