Are poems allowed here?

Getting ready for work Take your emotions and your pain Drive through the snow and the rain Forget what makes you human and you'll become The robotic employee the very best one Nothing is real make sure that you're fake Roof over head and bread is at stake Behind your mask dreaming of freedom Same thing every day fuck this repetition Yearning for the moments when I can feel Leaving work tonight is when I'll start to heal

Not happy with practices

I feel like leaving but then I can’t fight for what’s right and it will continue. I’m feeling super lost right now.

Previous Boss Listed My Expenses To Justify Paying Me Below Minimum Living Wage.

Short backstory, I worked for this small family run digital marketing company for 1.5 years and during my time grew the company’s client base and revenue. At the end of my employment I was solely responsible for 80% of the company’s revenue (£800k) and paid a salary of £19,000 (no extras). Whilst at the company, our team shrank from 4 others in my job role and as a result of this, I was given the work loads of my peers.

They kept dangling “we’ve got something special in store for you” in front of me to keep me hooked. At my annual review I was told moneys tight and “I’m not quite ready for the next step”.

Guidance for seeking medical exemption from returning to in-office work?

Hi there, I have a telehealth visit with my pcp today and while he has expressed willingness to support my request, what type of language should I be sure to include so HR and my shit bosses have no flex in responding. Im diabetic, overweight, have chronic bronchitis, and feel like the earth is melting when confronted with the thought of returningn to in-office work, as I work in a redneck town and my bosses boss caught covid and didnt tell anyone AND still went into the office. I dont trust anyone to prioritize safety protocols. A panic attack is too small to describe the sensation I will endure if I have to go back. Please offer guidance. Tyvmia
