Exposure to “rags-to-riches” TV programs make Americans more likely to believe in upward mobility and the narrative of the American Dream. The prevalence of these TV shows may explain why so many Americans remain convinced of the prospects for upward mobility.

My Workplace Behaviour module states it’s discrimination to use incorrect pronouns.

I'm happy to use he, she and they (the pronouns they listed) but was surprised they classified refusal as discrimination, it was the only question I got wrong, but it feels wrong to compel speech in general let alone at work. Classifying this as discrimination would make it fireable offence. It's probably a hot topic but I was wondering what you all thought? I'm in Australia for info.

Help: What action(s) can I take against my abusive manager?

I work at a grocery store and I have an abusive manager, and I want her reprimanded. I will be putting in my 2 weeks shortly, but regardless I want her gone, nobody deserves to work for this monster, especially not at $10 an hour lmao.

Heartbroken after being terminated for seemingly no reason

The employer encouraged me to quit my job at the other cafe I was working at, but I did not do it because I hadn't been hired yet. And thank GOD I did not quit. I was extremely excited about this job because it was a huge step up from the other 2 coffee shops I had worked at over the past few years. I was scheduled for training last weekend. I completed all of my duties perfectly, made the place spotless, did everything I was asked, interacted with customers, memorized all of the recipes, and got along very well with my coworkers. It all seemed to be going exceptionally…

Notes of Ego

I started working at the healthcare related job I'm mentioning a few months ago. Since then, there's been a lot to learn cause I have been in healthcare or whatnot, but not the same as what I'm doing. A couple of times I guess I've come across as being pushy, cause since I'm new, I shouldn't be questioning other people on what they are doing cause they've been there longer. Typical stuff. However, since the last time I worked, someone I was documenting for had a noticeable change that day to their care. All of that is charted in their books. So I called the head supervisor and they told me to just write a note for the shift supervisor to change it. I said okay and wrote the note. Came in today and did books. It wasn't until later that shift I noticed a note that was a reply…
