A couple of weeks ago I asked for this coming Friday and next Monday off as this weekend is an anime convention I plan on attending. I reminded OM today because I noticed that she marked herself off next Monday as it's also the day after the superbowl. She claims I didn't put it in writing so she planned her weekend accordingly. There's not really a lot I can do because I technically didn't put it in writing, I just said “hey, I'd like to have x days off for this thing” and she said okay. I'm still taking a half day Friday, I don't care what she says. Whether or not I come in on Monday is debatable. It's cool that our “home team” is going to the Superbowl, but I honestly don't care about sports.

I just started a job at a bank and they told me I have to have all my vacation time submitted by last week and they want all 2 weeks to be in a row, I don't make enough to just go on vacation for 2 weeks yeah I'll get paid but I don't have the funds to just go somewhere and I don't want to sit at home for 2 weeks. I would much rather use my time as I go for things that come up. Do I legally have to submit all 2 weeks at once? Or can I fight this somehow? I also don't have access to vacation time until 90 days. Edit after talking to boss I talk to my boss who isn't sure on this but wanted to get everyone's thoughts. So I'm going to try and just schedule the 2 weeks at the end…

I don’t like conflict/am a bit of a “people pleaser”and had a mental breakdown in December because of my workload. I’m a full time grad student and work over full time hours plus am a Reservist. I have decided to quit my civilian job today, but I’m so scared to do it because I know my manager is going to guilt trip me so hard. Any tips for quitting when your boss thinks you’re “friends? can I just send an email or do I have to call (we’re still remote)? Eta: we’re not friends. She either thinks we are or acts like we are (likely to manipulate me). Edit 2: thanks guys! I did it. I’m a free woman now! She didn’t freak out at all like I expected. This is going to help me so much ️️️

my job pretty much fucked me so i'm leaving soon, just trying to get my last paycheck and bounce. the situation is im a temp worker at this company and the company has been losing so many people it's forcing everybody to move to different departments. basically “cross training” aka learning how to do everything in the building with no raise or promise of a job. i'm currently working in the same area i've been in because i've excelled at it and it's just the best area for me. but today my supervisor pulls me in her office to say the company i'm under wants me to move to a department where i would have to be standing and lifting items all day. and by items i mean 50lb items. i don't understand why the fuck they would want me for that position considering there's so many people here that…

I had no choice but to withdraw my application. It's really frustrating that employers/organizations have not reviewed their old-fashioned hiring processes. Even though, there is a labor shortage in the market with the Great Resignation going on, still corporations insist to follow a very long and stressful procedures to choose their candidates. I am a Sales Executive with more than 10 years in Inside Sales & Accounts Management. Recently I have been applying for some positions in reputable US IT organisations. I joined the Great Resignation from the last year and I thought that the HR attitude towards experienced employees will change with the difficulties in finding the right talents this period….Yet, the same “B*****t” of a long hiring process with at least three interviews, each session with a decision maker. A very complex and tiring hiring process…I found my self under the obligation to withdraw my own application when…
