Antiwork

No, seriously. WTAF? The business can afford extra sick time and extra bereavement leave time for those who need it. Why are they passing on that expense to workers? (If they can't afford it then they can't afford to be in business.)

I'm training in a new position and it's very intense. Last week, I asked the head of the department for clarification about a procedure I'd never done. The woman training me chewed my ass out for not following the chain of command. She's…she's not my boss. She attacked my character, my intelligence, my scope of practice. It was horrible.

Let slip I was out of work (lucky enough to get a great grant and am existing during my last college semester). They sent me an email 2 days later saying they were showing my apartment and the lease we had just printed and was going to send to them was invalid / they was looking for other tenants. All because I’m not working for a little while in the greatest surge of the pandemic we’ve had in my area. In my last semester of college. It is settled now and we are staying in the apartment, but it took me having to literally say the amount in my bank account (from a pell grant) in order for them to be “assured” that we “can…
