Today I was fired

“For my own good”. Because I am not happy enough at my job and they feel bad. Well fucking thanks. I have stage 3 heart failure. I was applying for a new mortgage and now I am going to lose it. Please tell me again how your doing this for my best. Because it is better for me. Today I cried for hours because I lost a job I loved while they told me it was my fault for not being happy enough and that the stress was to much for me. Even though I have never said those words.

Feel like this belongs here. We could easily end homelessness, and debt, and hunger, and suffering TODAY, but we keep choosing not to because some people get off on shaming you for not putting in enough “effort” instead.

Under free and democratic conditions, millions of American workers would probably join a union tomorrow. Thanks to laws heavily slanted toward bosses, unionization votes resemble the sham elections of tin-pot dictatorships.

Fiancé fired for reporting bed bugs!

So last night my fiancé came home from a bar shift, wakes me up to tell me one of the regulars(who lives above the bar in a multi unit apartment building) had several bed bugs crawling on them in the bar. She kicked him out and informed the owner of bar and apartments via note of bed bug infestation. Fast forward to the next morning she works opening shift right after closing the night before. Notices owner had taken the note down and doesn’t say a thing to her until she approached asking if he saw the note. She was informed that he had another tenant taking care of bed bug problem (spraying store bought spray) tenant later came down during her shift and informed owner that the bug spray wasn’t enough and the infestation was pretty bad. The whole shift several other regulars informed her that this bed bug…

Wrong Sized McFlurry

My husband took me through the drive thru just now to get a Shamrock Oreo McFlurry and we ordered a large to split. We get up to the window and the kid hands him a regular one. I immediately went, 'This isn't a large,' as I looked up and made eye contact with this kid's most terrified eyes. I suddenly remembered some of the insane stories I've read on here and I said, 'Just kidding, it is, let's go!' and we left. I can't believe it's like this. I can't believe that kid was that scared. Of me, of his boss for making the wrong size, whatever it is, he is not paid enough by any means. Kids shouldn't be entering into this hostile workforce where they are scared. Working should be about learning new things and contributing to your community. It shouldn't be so terrifying.

Boss secretly listens to conversations on camera

Today I was informed by someone who knows my boss personally that my boss will watch the cameras and LISTEN to our conversations while she is at home. None of the employees have any knowledge of this. We have always known they watch the cameras but we had no idea they could hear. We all feel so weird and violated by this.
