Boss won’t let me use any pto before my two week notice is over. What do I do?

My last day is next Friday and I requested the Monday off of my last week but it was rejected since they are short staffed (their fault) and currently I’m dealing with an extra work load from a coworker who took off all this week which they allowed. Now it’s a problem for my one day and hey tried to guilt trip me and said I used to get sick often but I still have pto so I don’t see a problem here.

Quiet Quitting vs Undercompensation/Underrewarding

Quiet quitting has been gathering a lot of attention in the media as of late, as well as companies struggling to find employees to fill roles. I would challenge companies to consider that rather than the issue being the general population, the focus should be changed to “undercompensation” or “underrewarding”. These are terms that describe when corporations fail to reward employees for exceeding expectations. Undercompensation occurs when an employee's compensation, including salary, bonuses, and other benefits, does not adequately reflect their contributions to the company. This can result in feelings of frustration, demotivation, and a lack of engagement from employees who feel undervalued and underappreciated. Underrewarding, on the other hand, refers to situations where employees are not recognized or rewarded for their exceptional performance or contributions to the company. This can result in a lack of motivation and a decrease in morale, as employees may feel that their efforts are…

Boomer clients took photos of me struggling, insulted me/complained to my manager… I am a disabled employee doing my best. Possibility of having my pay “docked” for client refusing to pay for “inexperience”

… not sure if this belongs here, but I do believe a majority of us who work any type of service industry from retail, to food, construction suffer from the abuse of cruel, senile, elderly clients. I for one have had enough of it and have snapped and am considering filing a lawsuit against the elderly clients who happily took photos of me struggling to lift a tool, mocked me, complained to my boss and decided to penny pinch the company by refusing to pay for the hours I worked… their reasoning being “they don't want to pay for someone to learn on their property” yet expect new hires to immediatley know what is going on. I'm suspect they are posting these photos somewhere as to mock me, but I have no proof. They are very very wealthy elderly clients with beach front property, and the husband has verbally abused…

Oh, you want to pay me less because I would work from home? Fuck that

I just talked to a recruiter about a potential gig and they gave two different pay rates based on on-site and off-site (remote) work. The remote work was nearly 40% less than on-site. I'm not going to take a pay cut because someone thinks I'm worth less simply because I get to be more productive at home. I hope the rest of you feel this way too, and I hope more people decline offers like this.

Indeed limiting max salary range filter to 90k

Is it just me, or does this seem like an underhanded way of trying to cater to the corporate overlords to make it more difficult to search for the jobs we are looking for or make lower paying jobs more visible and hopefully “desirable”?
