What would you do? and why/why not?

So we see a lot in movies of bank security, armor guard security etc risking their lives to fight off robbers. And in the recent post on the apple store robbing, what would you do if in a more serious position than protecting phones? I want to know if there are people out there who genuinely would risk their lives for their current employer (maybe the wrong sub, but I assume there are also people who are currently happy with where they are because of the way we think). Something to ponder on, and hopefully have a good spirited debate.

Manager bullying me /rant

The back of house manager was on my fucking dick today. The phone rang twice and she told me, harshly, to answer it, when I was physically away from the phone helping another customer. I said I was ‘fucking working on it.’ And she then told me I was fired and to leave. It came down to me being wrong for speaking to her that way, even though she had been bullying me and picking on me all day. Saying things like she thinks I’m bi polar, I need to take medicine, I should see a dr, etc. my mom died not even a month ago. So yes, I snapped and cussed. But why are you trying to micro manage and control me answering the fucking phone? When I am literally doing something else? And then threaten to fire me for it? I told the GM how I felt, of…

Anyone Else Running Into Tax Return Discrepancies???

I’m worried about being penalized because I moved towards the end of last year. My tax return estimate is suggesting I will only receive 50% of what I was expecting. Regardless…does anyone else NOT in the US have to guess on their tax return and will owe money if they submit the wrong amount? Insanity!

Fired for onlyfans

I just started this job I’m November, making 12.25(min wage is 10) so I’m making shit. This place is a Gourmet Market in Sarasota FL, I was unlawfully fired for 1. Hear say- coworkers who didn’t like me because I’m 18 (young) told the director I called them old bitches. (This store caters to the elite and elderly) I never called them any names but I was constantly berated by them. 2. A girl in my school who I became friends w while working there she is 16, I’m 18, we joked around a lot about being lovers and her calling me mommy but we both are in relationships. We didn’t do this openly in front of other workers, but apparently they said I made sexual comments to her… she denied ever feeling uncomfortable etc. 3. I have an only fans. Yep. The main reason they said was “I sell…

Needed an escort for bathroom at an interview

I went to a group interview, I filled out all the paperwork, accepting I might have hearing loss, diseases from working with meat. I was sent there by job provider which was 2 bus (40 mins) + a 30 min walk there (max is 1hr 30). I asked to go to the bathroom, she said you need an escort. Before i entered the building a couple of guys asked you hear for a piss test or an interview. I waited a copy mins because I was denied to go to the bathroom since no-one there to hold my hand. I said I'm going to the bathroom and just walked up and left. My job provider asked if I left on amicable terms… I said yes

This is why

My lieutenant told me I should've notified him first before I gave my 2 weeks instead of finding out from HR. Hey LT, I did that because I just don't give a fuck anymore.

Emergency surgery got me fired even though it was no inconvenience now my boss isn’t recommending me for my next job

This happened in late summer probably 2 to 3 weeks before August – I had kept my old boss up to date on medical diagnosis for at least 6 months in preparation for an inevitable thyroid removal surgery and when the time came my thyroid scans came back so badly that they notified me that day (Monday) and scheduled me for emergency surgery (on Thursday) I told my old boss that I wouldn't be able to come in after my surgery as I'm not allowed to move out of bed for 2 weeks. Keep in mind there's about 18 to 20 employees when there's only 14 shifts a week so it's not a inconvenience that I won't be there and she knew I was leaving 2 weeks later anyway as schools started in August in a different state (she was fine with it) . She told me that if I…

You’re resigning? But you’re doing such a great job at making me money!

I sent in my resignation letter today for a job I was working as a spa receptionist after less than 2 months. I was bringing home $1000 monthly and there was no room for more hours, or for less hours so I could find a way to, yannow, feed myself and pay bills and shit. It seemed really easy at first, but I realized the week I got hired, so did the other two girls I share the schedule with. I asked my manager during my interview why the spot was open and he told me the girl (read: THREE GIRLS) he had fired was apparently “lazy and always on her phone.” Idk why I even believed that shit. He also said that as long as you make an effort, they’ll see it and keep you on schedule. This place is owned by a husband and wife who also own…

Possibly Strike At Airport Terminal Services In Calgary, Alberta

A couple years ago Westjet had their own employees in Calgary providing ground handling to load planes, push planes etc, they had voted to unionize to Westjet outsourced to a company called Airport Terminal Services one of the larger ground handling companies in US/Canada. The Airport Terminal Services workers ended up unionizing and the union and company have been in negotiations, but appears it's starting to get heated and union may issue a 72 hour strike notice if an agreement is not agreed on. While the workers don't work for Westjet a strike would potentially delays Westjet flights in/out of Calgary. The 2 sides are still talking so the 72 hour strike notice has not yet been issued. (also a chance if a strike did occur, the federal government could issue back to work legislation, they have done this in the past with Canada Post, Air Canada and other federally…
