How I vanished from job

So after I completed my graduation back in 2015, I got placement in a very large MNC in constructions. They made us sign a bond that if we left within 3 years from the day we accepted the job, we will have to pay 7k $. In my country, that's a huge amount, hell, some people earn this much in a year. Anyway, the first 2 months were amazing, they kept me in these amazing hotels for my training, and treated me so well. I felt blessed to be working here, but who knew it was all a facade (yeah, i was naive). When i was posted in the field, holy shit, the supervisor was way way strict. He used a lot of cuss words to make the labourers work. So he thought it was okay for him to berate me on my very 1st day on field. As you…

Experiencing Discrimination at Work.

Writing on behalf of my bf(34), “Mike”. He works at a big wholesaler box store that rhymes with “taco”. He’s been there 7 years for the insurance. Over the years Mike’s faced some discrimination there and is currently dealing with a scheduling conflict that we think is discriminatory. For two years he’s basically had a 10am-6:30pm shift, with random 3pm-11:30pm shifts thrown in. These “clopen” shifts completely mess with his diet and insulin ratios (has a pump and insulin regiment w doctors). He’s communicated that the random night shifts make it difficult to manage his diabetes and handed in a doctors note requesting he work a consistent schedule. They completely ignored this request and scheduled him a few “clopens” next week. Mike pushed back and explained that the ADA states he has a right to a consistent schedule. There response was to schedule give him a consistent schedule of 12pm-9pm.…

Mums boss announced her medical problems in front of the whole office?!

To say I’m furious is an understatement. The whole family are already very stressed right now. In the last few months my mum has had large weight loss, pain and other distressing problems. Her doctor is in the process of running tests (lots). ONE of her test results came back clear and my mums boss came into the office (she works admin in a medical facility which makes it even more infuriating) and announced loudly ‘at-least you’ve not got cancer it’s probably just the menopause’. I don’t even know if this has come from office gossip or directly from my mums doctor to the health centre manager…. Also my mum is clearly not well and still going through a lot more tests for various cancers so not only is this boss a complete c**t she is completely misinformed too. My mum is now even more upset than she already is…
