My job wants a 4 week notice for rehire eligibility.

I’m leaving my job after being here for about a year and a few months. Everything has been great and my boss and I had a wonderful conversation about how highly we think of each other. He asked me to email my resignation to him. Upon receiving the email, he responded “HR wanted me to make sure you knew about the minimum 4 week notice to be eligible for return”. I have an outstanding rapport with most of the individuals here, and this just feels like the biggest slap in the face. I moved across the country within 2 weeks to start here ! I am in lower/middle management, my responsibilities are wrapped up, and I have a great replacement hoisted up. There is nothing that 4 weeks will do for them. Very disheartening because I HATE burning bridges. Any advice my friends ?

Texted my boss and said i won’t be returning

As the caption says. I work in a very small manufacturing job in a fairly rural area. It’s pretty wack all around, but it required vaccinations which is pretty wild for where I’m at. I get paid 14 an hour and technically am full time. I haven’t had a full week of work since Christmas. There have been supply issues, met with ineptitude that have left us with nothing to consistently produce for months. On top of that they turn the heat off in the warehouse after every shift, making it insanely unpleasant every morning. I’m talking 38 degrees inside when we show up. The boss sits in his office with his space heater every day leaving me with my co-worker, who begins sneaking drinks at around 9 am and is fairly drunk by lunch. The chaos of that place is too much for me. Last week my coworker had…

Death threat at my job today

I work with Medicare insurance and hate this crap. My job title is “member advocate” but there’s honestly very little I can do to help people since I’m not an insurance agent. My job is basically getting people to the right place. Call center crap, right? Anyway, I’m sitting there today, taking calls, when this dude comes on the line and starts cussing me out. Saying that we screwed him over on his plan and he wants to cancel it. We’re a broker, so plans have to be canceled by the carrier. I tell him this and he goes OFF. Pretty impressive, but anyway, I try and deescalate the situation and he says “I’m gonna blow your ***** brains out.” I don’t get paid enough to deal with crap like this. I’m a college student just trying to finish my freakin degree yet threats and downright rude behavior is crap…

America needs a wealth cap

With the increase in price and down sizing of a product equals more profits for the top 1%. So why can't we as Americans implement a wealth cap at say 50 million. Anything after that you would either need to invest surplus profits in to the company, a example would be replacing out dates machinery.Or they could use that surplus to increase employee wages. I bet if we did that the cost of living would go down and quality of life would go up. If we took greed out of the picture work life would be so much better
