Management completely ignored my [requested] time off. I’d like some thoughts on the situation.

I was more than accommodating when I requested time off as I asked TWO MONTHS in advance. I understand that this is my first mistake because I should’ve [needed] the time off. Today I got a slap in the face when I looked at the schedule and they completely ignored all the days I requested off. The second slap in the face is when I emailed the supposed person in charge of scheduling who then proceeded to send me a cut and pasted reply, conveniently when the schedule is posted, which went (kinda) like this: “Dear [you absolutely dogshit employee] Please request off in the system. If the schedule is already posted then please find someone to cover your shift.” Of course that message is a little bit biased but then again I am very pissed that they completely ignored me and ABSOLUTELY brushed me aside. On a completely unrelated…

Can I be denied unemployment after getting fired as a result of refusing to return to office?

Hey everyone. I'm in an interesting situation with my employer, a private university. I posted last week explaining that the majority of my team had been fired on the spot. I've since learned that the external firm brought in to replace them doesn't employ a designer or developer, giving myself and my remaining coworker a bit of leverage. We're now being told to return to the office for a few days a week after being fully remote for the last two years. I've already voiced my opinion that without an internal team to reunite with, there's little to no reason for us to be on campus. I have an upcoming meeting in which I'm considering giving an ultimatum (let me remain fully remote or fire me) and I want to know what kind of repercussions I could be looking at it if I go through with it. I've read on…

Asking for a raise, drafting a letter, need credbile souces to include

Hello All, I'm asking for a raise in my job that is currently denying me insurance and fulltime status. I'm fighting for full time status and trying to get our finance committee (made up of boomers) that what I'm being paid isn't sustainable income. After taxes and healthcare costs, I make 12.31 an hour. This is with a master degree in the field that I'm working in. I'm 5 hours away from fulltime status. When I requested a raise previously to afford health care, I was told to work more. ​ Anyway, drafting a petty letter. Please give me your best credible sources for this

Easy jobs for the mentally ill?

Not sure if this is really the place for this but, does anyone know jobs that are great for staying at home and don’t require as much commitment? I struggle a lot with getting out and having the energy to function. I’m hoping something I can do at home, semi in my control will help me a lot. I’m 18 rn and live with my mom and she’s been pushing for me to try and get some kind of work bc we are struggling a lot to afford basic needs. My mom and I both struggle a lot with our ADHD so she hasn’t had consistent work much either. Anything online that you know doesn’t require much work experience would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. My last job was food service and I had to quit because of how awful that shit made me feel. Also note: my mom has…

If you were terminated and were asked to return equipment in 48 hr? What would you do?

If you were terminated 10 mins before your shift and boss tells you return all the equipment by 48 hours and drop it off in the mailroom office. Would you drop it off or would you have someone pick it up? Place has a huge turnover rate especially for my position and my coworker would snitch on me for every little thing. She and my manager would micromanage me. Coworker and I get called in the office and boss says Im terminated. Tells coworker to stand when I pack my personal belongings.

But she said she is supposed to stay there until I grt my belongings out of the office. No one even said goodbye or good luck… But I'm…
