this seems legal
This is long, but I’d be so grateful if you read and helped me out. I don’t know what to do. I hope this is the right sub to post on since this is work related. If not, please let me know which sub you think this would be appropriate for. I’m in a really upsetting situation. Back in October I needed a major surgery of which I gave my job 5 months notice. The surgery was very unique and the wait for a specialist clearly was forever the specialist who was highly recommended was out of network (more on that below). My recovery was 6 weeks home and I could start working remote after the first 2 weeks. Well once I was able to start working from home my job decided to move me to part time. I could not afford to work part time and I was truly…

Exploitation is at an all time high.
Employers today are exploiting our labor more than any other time in history, yes including the days of slavery. They'd literally pay more to keep us as slaves, than they pay us as employees. You're responsible for a slave 24/7/365. First you have to buy the slave. Then you have to house them. And feed them. And give them enough healthcare to stay productive because you take care of your property. How much would all that cost today?

I am surprised to keep hearing that right now the job market is swayed to candidates, for what type of roles exactly? I took a role that had 50 applicants for an entry level role right out of school and feel lucky I even got this job.
Backstory: Two people quit right before thanksgiving and I agreed to go from part time to full until we could fill the position. We went from five people to three. The third was totally useless and dangerous as we work with animals and his mistakes were very stupid. He was never once wrote up and was given so many excuses by our head manager. Dude literally sexually harassed someone that was helping out our team, as well as asked HER what to do for a job he had been working at for months. They never hired any new people and then, surprise, he quit by no showing almost two months ago. Well my department manager gets approached by our general manager about hiring someone, something she was never given access to or discussed. Turns out big boss lady wasn’t even looking for any new people, nope! Not during that entire…
