TD;LR : my manager wants me to appear happier at work, I want to know how I can get back or maliciously comply with him. I was taking out the trash. I was looking at the trash. I had a neutral, busybody face. There were two coworkers on either side of me who were also not smiling/neutral faced. And this man who I have never spoken to before introduces himself to me by saying in super exaggerated sarcasm “Well you just look SUUUPER happy and enthused to be here! What’s wrong, what’s going on?” (Intended as “what’s going on to make you not be smiling and cheerful at this moment” Hard to convey but his tone was clear.) He said it super loudly too. Both my male coworkers and the customers behind him heard. I was in shock that a grown man in a position of authority would speak like…
So I currently WFH, for a non-profit. We earn 1 sick day and 1 vacation day per month. This morning I woke up and decided I wanted to use a sick day – I have plenty, plus between my allergies and mental health I could use a break. Emailed my boss to let her know I’d be out today. My boss responds asking how I’m going to complete a certain task that’s deadlined for today. The only reason I hadn’t already done it? She needed to train me on how to complete it, but pushed the training to today because she was “too tired” last week. So instead of resting today and taking a break, I’ve been on and offline, working.

this isn’t a venting post, but more of a asking if anyone has anyone like this at their job type of question. i just started a new job at a retail store. they sell clothing, grocery, electronics, and home items. i was hired a week or so ago for electronics, and i’ve gone through orientation and training, the whole 9 yards. today though i was called to the home department, and requested to work there with someone. well that person left and finished their shift about an hour after someone called me over, so i went back to electronics. i then received a call to go to the back room where i was yelled at and told that my position is not electronics, and that i have been wandering over there on my own, wasting paid company time. i raised my voice and informed this person that not only have…
