My mother just got fired for not cleaning well enough

She was hired as a receptionist. She was there for a week. If you want a cleaner, hire a fucking cleaner, don't hire a receptionist and then get mad that they aren't cleaning to your standards.

“I think you need Jesus..” Thanks guys I’m cured!

I apologize if this isn't the right place for this so mods feel free to remove it if necessary,but I need to vent. So i went into my workplace Friday morning to stand up for myself and explain why I've been so severely depressed (not sure what I was hoping to accomplish). I get through everything I need to say and I'm sitting in my boss's office in tears and He tells me “I think you need jesus,I really do.” So now I'm both anxious and angry to see what genius shit they will tell me on Monday,because you know atheist aren't a protected status. Rant over.

“Paid” holidays are not paid if they just shift the holiday’s hours onto your regular day off that week.

Boss claims we have about 4-7 paid holidays per year- Memorial Day, Labor Day, Xmas Eve, New years Eve. Historically, we also have had 2-3 snow closures per year. ​ Xmas and New Years are Sundays, which my workplace is closed regardless. ​ Now, I work a 5 day work week. Sunday off for everybody, and I get 1 day off each week in addition. My day off is Wednesday. ​ If my boss just closes work on these holidays but makes me work on my usual day off (WED), then I'm still working my full work week…. ​ This essentially means that the holidays are NOT paid days off. ​ WA state mandates 1 hour of Paid Sick Leave per 40 hours worked, so I accrue 60+ hours of PSL per year, so in a sense, I get 1 week of “Paid Time Off”, but so does everybody else…

Leaving the film industry and its such a surreal feeling

So the film industry is such a messed up world in so many ways, on every level. I started making moves, my family is even helping me tremendously to find a regular job and look for new apartments so I can be back home with them. It's given me this huge clarity. I took a movie job that actually ends right as my lease does and so far, this is the best job I've ever had. It's everything I was looking for sometimes (partly because they all have horror stories and don't want to be that way). It almost makes me hesitate to get out of the industry….almost. The hours are still grueling and should be illegal, and some people are already teetering on the edge of a complete breakdown, but there are some famous people that are amazingly involved and apparently are like down low brilliant business people that…
