Dead name issue

My work flat out told me they would not acknowledge my government name as my dead name. Not even in the whole legality department just among staff and eachother. I never went by my dead name at work yet they go out of their way to Address me as such. What a good day to be trans :))

Can an Employer Take Away Banked PTO?

I have roughly 40 hours of PTO accrued, but I recently made the decision to go to part time instead of full time. My manager said that if I go to part time, my PTO will be taken away. Is that legal?

Part time wedding/event job wants to deduct $50 out of my first check for uniform, is that standard?

I did an interview recently and this part time gig wants me to deduct $50 out of my first check to pay for a company t-shirt, apron, and short sleeve dress shirt and I never heard of this, is that a common thing? Every place I’ve worked at gave a uniform for free or we gave it back at the end of our shift.

Im just not gonna come in the next day if I work overtime.

I get paid hourly, but I dont get paid overtime for the times I have to stay late to close. Whether its because of a late delivery that I have to stay almost 2 hours after to close up, or the day is just too busy to start closing up at a proper time i'm just not gonna come in the next day. I brought it up to the manager and they started talking about how “its what I signed up for” and “its nobody elses job” and “its not even that much work”. So from now on I just decided that if I stayed more than 30 minutes after closing, then I will just simply take the next day off.
