Antiwork

My employer said for me to use my sick pay for time that his store was closed. Is that illegal ? Plus in California how does the sick pay go? Every year with the company or a new year ?

My boyfriend works as a department manager at an organic food store. His off days are Sundays and Mondays. This week on Sunday is Easter. Typically, if a holiday is on a scheduled off day you get another day off later in the week, but they’re not giving him this extra day off.

I work as a contracted “Security Professional” that has just been promoted to supervisor. The majority of my on-site responsibilities is namely report-writing in regards to the events of my day-to-day site-specific events. Mundane or otherwise, typically our contract's own security team (which is used to oversee ours, giving our Account Lead advice in how to write the rules and training of all on-site personale) tells our Security Team to only report on the most 'uncommon occurrences' such as site-visitors, or site-related crime.

Call me crazy, but I'm not comfortable engaging with the person who violated the law, workplace policy, and me & my trust. Thus I get removed from all the meetings, conversations, and opportunities that also involve this person. These are subjects in which I have expertise, experience, and issues I have researched for months. They were part of my job-satisfaction. The response was “No thanks, we got it from here.” I've requested that he or I be removed from the environment and was not obliged. I've asked my direct leadership for help and their only suggestion was to 1) help…
