Americans, what’s up with this “donating your leave time” business? Wtaf? Why is it acceptable to solicit your workmates’ rightfully earned leave time?

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.)

You’re not my boss.

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. I sobbed in her office while she berated me. At the end of the work day I went to my supervisor and we're going to meet with HR tomorrow. My supervisor is fucking aghast and considering moving me to a new department. Don't let shitty boomers treat you poorly.

Or we could let people who want to work from home work from home if the job can be done remotely?

“Go into trades” is not for everyone.

Seriously. I know trades people make shit loads of money and have gold plated retirement plans that pay for everything. I get it. I'd love to go into a field like that, but I can't. But if you're disabled physically and mentally there's literally NOTHING you can do. I can't stand unassisted more then ten minutes. I'm sure you'd want me to be a tradesman playing with hazardous materials and equipment. I have bad nerve damage in my hands, arms and elbows. I'm sure I'd be making 50 million an hour as an electrician in no time! Seriously. Stop bleating this as an answer to working woes. It's literally not for everyone.

This is what happens when you push workers too far and they remind you who’s really in control.

Landlords are not friends

Okay so I know, landlords are never friends. I finally have a good one and forgot that they’re in the housing “business” for .2 seconds. 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…
