Whats up with everyday standups?

I recently realized that my work (software engineer) has this every fuking day. Is this the new norm? I started regreting going back to fulltime.

Company didn’t send me my p45 at the end of employment.

I’ve got another position available but need my p45 as proof of working. I’ve emailed HR and my previous manager; no response. Anything else I can do?

Boss denying my schedule alteration for no reason

Where I work, we have limited Saturday hours and work a partial crew. There is a schedule posted and the supervisor assigns the work schedule based on pretty much her own whim. It varies how often in advance this schedule is done up ahead of time, usually several months. The rule has always been that you can switch Saturdays with another coworker if you need off, so long as you have coverage. I can't ask off, but I can compromise with a coworker and swap. I need next Saturday off. It doesn't have to do with the weekend, but the people I'm scheduled to work with (same supervisor is a raging bully, and she ropes in her favorite subordinate to help – both of whom make my life a living hell). I didn't want to make waves, so I elected to switch instead. Today I get a text saying that…

It’s been a long day, a very long day. What do you believe is a hard day’s work? I know that everyone’s situation is different, but I want to hear what makes for hard each of you. My apologies, but I’m going to bed after waking for work at 5:30.

Is this assault?

A coworker in anger throws a 3/8's drillbit and it hits you. It leaves a puncture mark even through 2 layers of clothing.

How do you actually get more money at a job offer?

So I’m applying for a position at several different companies, all the same role. It’s an industry with very high turnover so within a few days of applying, three companies offered me an interview and all asked what my expected salary was (and like an idiot, I told them the industry average). Assuming I get more than one offer, what then? Do I lie and say I’ve been offered more elsewhere and ask them to match it? Do I set a higher salary expectation? Extra benefits? I’ve never been in this situation before and realistically know these companies need me more than I need them.

The reason why I support antiwork.

The previous organization that I worked in didn't pay my FnF until after 3 months of my last day at work. And now it has been 4 months and they are not providing my Experience Letter. They reject my calls, don't reply to my emails. My current company has started asking me for these Documents, otherwise, I may be fired. I can't file a legal complaint because it will affect my future. I have served 3 Months of my official notice period. I am also a trader mostly stocks and crypto, so thinking of quitting the job. Any suggestions.
