here is the context, I worked in a grocery store. I was the guy who placed the milk and yogurts since September. this morning when I arrived I was told no we replaced you you will be in the grocery department from now on. since November 2022 that I no longer liked this job. it was the taste that had to overflow the camel I said to myself, fuck this I'm leaving. I signed the papers and left. I already have 2 other jobs since the beginning of June so it doesn't bother me at all to have left them. in addition the other 2 jobs the schedules are night and evening while the grocery store was during the day, so I literally didn't care, it made me feel good.

Instead, there has been incentives to force workers to go back and all that it does is benefit the greedy corporations and no one else. In fact, you can no longer write off expenses for working at home, just another big f you to us.

Management for (insert retail company here): We need you to get more people signed up for our rewards program. Me: Do I get any kind of reward for meeting the threshold? Management: No just do it. Me: But every time I push it they either don’t care or already have one. Management: You’re obviously not working hard enough. Me: My only incentive now is to do it so they won’t get mad at me.

I have Multiple sclerosis and because of this I call out sick sometimes. From October I have called out 18 times due to the illness. I was brought into the HR and was told the having a disease is no excuse for missing work.
