Sorry for some grammer issues my english is not that great. So I told my job 2 weeks ago that I wont be here for 3 days because I have a religious holiday coming up and I will be out of town celebrating with family, they told me around 3-4 days later they approved it they even updated the schedule. Now there saying they have to deny all time off requests because of low hours on a shift that im not even on. Im thinking wtf does that gotta do with me. I even signed a paper they made a month prior saying to let them know early as possible when you will take PTO or Vacation days. I been hired for around 7 months and havent used any pto or vacation days at all, what should I do?
My boss wants me to create a site
So, I work as a 3D specialist for a small company, sadly everyone knows that I “know computers” so I've been always called to help and fix problems above my role and paygrade. Since a while my boss has been obsessed with AI saying stuff like “we need to use it and be ahead of everyone else” or “this AI will create the website for us in no time and it's very easy to use.” The webmaster who created our site is a friend of mine and gave use an incredible discount for the creation and maintenance of our website, so I don't understand why we should change. This morning I found out (as i suspected) that the “AI” for the site it's just SquareSpace, my boss called me in the other office with a new employee saying we'll have to renovate our whole website with SquareSpace according to some…
THEY made this hard for us to be father
I met one of my old classmates this afternoon. He talked about his life biggest issue that being a single dad. He told me about horrible child care prices and taking a day off. Navigating child care as a parent, no matter the time of year, can be really challenging and there’s this: from work conflicts to varying partner schedules to unexpected sick days that can throwing the entire household into chaos. Not to mention facing the problem when it comes to working (both remotely and in-person) is overcoming the biases put upon them because of being single dad. https://preview.redd.it/ez0wh1n6jfua1.jpg?width=1500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=a990b0938c94dcc3e0d3b04ff7deec20fe8cb1db
I just started my first full time job(and first job in general) just under 2 months ago. I work third shift with Friday/Saturday off. Due to them having staffing issues my days off for this week have changed to Wednesday/Thursday then go back to normal so I’m working 7 days straight without a day off. I’ll be alone on third shift those days but I was considering just calling out sick one of them to catch a break in between. This also isn’t a long term job that I plan to find any growth within (Dispatching ambulance calls) if that makes any difference. Any thoughts or advice?
Walked out, not even gonna tolerate.
I was hired for a job I was passionate about, it was retail but easy work and the business was something I am passionate about. (Won’t mention where until my final pay is received). I witnessed two employees and one of their spouses discussing businesses closing. Employee Spouse: “Walmarts are closing due to the blacks”, their spouse employee nods in agreement 2nd employee: Because they are stealing. I was walking by and stopped dead in my tracks. “Did I really just hear that come out your mouth??” “Right here in the middle of the store, in front of customers?” Emp2 “Uh what? I didn’t say nothing” Me “ You finished his sentence!” We had 4-6 customers in and around this area, some of which were people of color, minorities in this part of the country. I looked at this gaggle of racist assholes and dropped my store key, left, fired…
Vacation speed run
My job makes me wish I was dead
Started crying in the shower this morning, been crying since. I work at a place called Success Academy, it's a charter school, it's like Hell on Earth. Every Monday I contemplate walking into traffic and letting a bus hit me, or even just a car so I break a few bones and am out of work for a few weeks. Sometimes I feel like the only way to prove to my family how horrible this job is would be to genuinely just end my life. My job makes me suicidal, I wish I was dead. And now I'm crying because I know if I end my life today to finally be free I will devastate ny mother and my girlfriend who I love more than anything else in this world. I wish I was dead. I wish I was dead
