Antiwork

So I got into a ski accident and will require an ACL surgery next week. Dr's recommendation is that I stay out of work for 6 weeks. I am in marketing & work remotely from a home office. Since I've been with my current company for less then 12 months I do not qualify for FMLA. Company appraised itself to be super caring and pretty much unicorn wonderland bullshit. And now HR is questioning my Dr's recommendation of staying out for 6 weeks, and have me double confirm with the Dr that since I work remotely do I really need those 6 weeks. Have the Dr fill a ADA form and list out what the EMPLOYER could accommodate in order for me to work? Any suggestions for this HR bullshit?

I left my terrible company and I'm trying to warn other people of it on review sites but Indeed has refused my review of the company 3 times now! I never posted any personal info or anything confidential. My review just says that the company doesn't pay you correctly or give benefits and that management is horrible. But for some reason Indeed keeps denying the review!

Just another example. I have been working at a job for over ten years. In that time I have been passed on for job opportunities three to four times. First time I had recommendations from many supervisors and the supervisor position I applied for was givin to someone fresh, but had a four year education unrelated to the job. I then applied for a service position a few months later and got the position. However, this position required me to do my assembly job, and take care of service on the side. Later on another year went by and they sent me to CDL school, so now I do assembly/service/delivery of farm equipment. Again after 3 years of this, I was informed that the service manager was retiring and I should apply. Once again supported by many recommendations. The job was given to another person in the company that had…

Not sure if this is the place for this post, if not then mods please delete. I work for a county health department as a community health worker. Similar to social work, minus the degree. I get paid $22/hr, and since it's govt work I have a state pension plan, deferred compensation, and sick and vacation leave. I have no leave saved at all because between my husband (disabled, he's a house husband) and myself we've had more “sick days” than my job has hours provided for. The last time I was able to work a full 40 hours was in August. I had FMLA leave at the time but it has run out, so I put in Absent Without Leave on my timesheet for time I spent not at work. I enjoy my job sometimes, but it's become too much. I began a burnout discussion last year that ended…

My company did a rather large round of layoffs recently for “restructuring”. And of course most of the employees who were laid off had long tenures with the company. When this one guy was laid off I was pretty flabbergasted because his role is extremely essential. Turns out, a few days later they inform me that I’ll be taking over his position, as they’ll be eliminating most of my department and outsourcing our work. Well that was six months ago. While the work for my previous role has decreased, I’m still doing the work of two people, and received a 3% raise, which is a fucking joke. Now it’s time for my annual review and I want to address that I essentially am doing the work of two people, for even less pay than before. But I would like to go into the conversation knowing what this previous employee was…

I've been working at my childhood home county's animal shelter for 2.5 years. I wanted to work here my whole life. I started November 2019 and found my perfect match and the perfect place to heal from an abusive, miserable desk job. The work was hard and stressful but I was so full of joy and enthusiasm. Everyone was so nice, and helping the animals feel better and go home was my greatest happiness. I was in the best shape of my life and kicking ass. Early 2020, a coworker started bullying me. Long story short it eventually got dealt with but was definitely not handled fast enough. But then the bully was gone and I was like, ok, now this job is perfect! Then, of course, I was furloughed for covid. But the unemployment benefits were huge and then I had time to move to a new place! I'm…

Went to try out a job yesterday at a warehouse, simple shipping and receiving job. The manager was this twitchy 40 something year old foreign guy. I could barely understand him but I tried my hardest to be polite and just do whatever he told me. The work itself was not that hard and honestly I probably would have stayed if it was not for this dude. I should have known during the interview process because of all the red flags and weird things he did. One of them including walking into the interview and just slapping down an application and leaving the room for 20 minutes which I thought was kind of weird. When I asked what my day to day would look like he just told me the lunch break hour And seemed mad that I even asked what I’d be doing. During my first day he spent…
