Rejected a job offer today

Company wanted to pay me overtime after 50, I insisted that it would be ideal for me to get overtime after 40. This was a trucking position driving tractor trailers on a graveyard shift. Hiring manager insisted that overtime after 50 was fair and competitive in the trucking industry. I knew that I would be missing out on a lot of money because it was 50-55 hours a week and they're just doing that to save the company money. I know my worth and I denied the offer

Downfall: The Case Against Boeing

I have to assume that everyone following this subreddit hates major corporations. If you do recommend that you watch and also do not watch Downfall: The Case Against Boeing on Netflix. Spending 90+ minutes hearing all about how a major corporation gave literally gave no fucks about human lives and only cared about stock prices and profits is infuriating!!!!

Laborer who can’t do labor jobs anymore wants to know where to go.

TLDR at bottom As the title says i'm a laborer atm, i work in a factory and make ok money for the rural area 14.50.

advice on what to do, company won’t pay sick hours

I am leaving in two weeks and wanted to cash out my sick hours , I was going to do it where I did 8 hours every week so it won't be all out once but they said I can't do that even tho it says I can do it with a week's notice which is what i was doing. And now they're saying I won't be able to cash out all of them because it's only the first quarter so 32/4 is only 8 hours . So they said 8 hours is the most they can do but someone who recently has quit told me she got all her sick time paid off into her last check. I don't understand if it's just because it's me or if because they're not legally entitled to give it to me but wouldn't it be discrimination if the girl before me was…

Worried to call off.

I work in a salaried job in insurance. I am ill. Not Covid, but pretty nasty sinus infection. I’m tired, run down, all together feeling like one would when you are sick. I called off today but I am worried about calling off tomorrow as I have assigned tasks that are due tomorrow. I am worried about backlash from my supervisor and peers as they will need to pick up and complete these tasks. Idk what to do.

I have worked over 24 hours in two days. This is not unusual; this is my shitty life. I only make $14.50 an hour after my recent $1.00 raise, which was 7 months overdue.
