Work asking for refund on accidental payment after termination.

I was recently fired from my job, and in an attempt to send my final paycheck early, they accidentally made two payments. They attempted to void one of them, but were unable to do so; as a result, they called asking me to return one of the payments either via check or cash to amend their mistake. Am I under any legal obligation to pay them back? Being able to keep this payment would provide me with a bit more security while looking for work again.

My manager makes me prepare pointless reports that nobody actually looks at, just in case so he can be “prepared” in his leadership meetings! I’m quitting with some Easter Eggs I left behind!

So every other week I have to download a massive data table, filter and arrange information to her liking. Rows and rows of account details and links. On top of that charts and summaries. I have been doing this for the past 16 months and months, x2 a month. Takes half of my day! First time I realised nobody was looking at this report was about 7-8 months ago. I checked the “views” on the sheet I prepare and shockingly it was only “1” Meaning not even my manager was not looking at it. So I started adding https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ to some hyperlinks. Started from bottom of the presentation to gradually top, higher and higher in rows. Nada! Not a single comment or feedback! I resigned and quitting next month!

I think it’s sad that I completely dehumanized my boss

So my boss is your typical LOUDY, ignorant, obnoxious, and straight up piece of shit boss. I’ve known him for years and it amazes me how he failed to make any redeeming quality or any good memory of him. Everyone in my work feels the same way about him. Lately, I realized that I completely dehumanized him. I genuinely don’t care if a nuke dropped on him or if he shat his surprisingly large head on one of his long bathroom breaks. At this point, I only consider him to be an annoying “entity” that reminds me life is not perfect.

Rumors of required unpaid training for Hrly employees

Just heard from a coworker that we may be required by the boss soon to learn 3D modeling in our free time with no educational support or training. We are underpaid illustrators already spending tens of hours each week making technical vector drawings. I made a 200 page book of technical drawings In 77hrs. My arm has possible carpal tunnel and our employer provides no insurance. Now a big client wants 3d models as well and our drawings. Rumor is the boss wants us all to learn this whole other job skill on our free time with no compensation or educational material or standards. If it’s not voluntary and is required for our work how can it be legal for him not to compensate us? We are hourly employees. I’m apoplectic at the blatant disrespect and illegal behavior. I plan to tell the boss I will not work for free…

Am I Being Fired?

Today, I got an email from who is essentially my HR supervisor/job title supervisor. It was an appointment for a half hour in the morning a week from today that said “Performance Check In” with no other information. This immediately put me on edge. I work in a major teaching hospital in an at-will state. I emailed back asking if it was a meeting about performance goals and concerns, or of another nature so I can be prepared with questions and concerns to ensure a productive meeting since I was pretty sure I had never had a performance check in before. He emailed back fairly quickly, but literally all it said was “it's about program goals and challenges”. Which, to me, translates to “our program goals are ones you are not living up to and it's causing a challenge so we're firing you”. Am I right to think I'm going…

When do we get together?

I've come to notice the only way a lot of idiot groups have power in society is they go out and make a ton of noise. When is it our turn? It's getting harder and harder to just wait and try to bring up a topic of unions or how mistreated we are as workers with people. From months now I've had the want that this movement get together in an earth trembling boom. Unignorable. If we want to be heard then we need to be physically together to be heard. We all want the same things here. We want to be paid what we're due for the work that we do. We don't want to shy away from treatments or help because it will break us financially. We don't want to be abused or put in danger for someone else's profit. I'll be the first to admit that I…
