Antiwork

I’ll keep this brief, just need to rant. Been out of school working for many years now and I just can’t accept the fakeness and lack of meaning in full time work. I feel like I’m forced to do this to survive and it makes me miserable. How do you all cope? I exercise, meditate, eat healthy and sleep enough but it just doesn’t fix the soul crushing nature of work. Thanks in advance!

Let’s bring back the show undercover boss but the twist is they have to do it for 3 months and can only live off of what they make working there.

Manager here. Hate on me based on that alone if you’ve got to, but the truth is I’m here in good faith and to gain understanding. I run a healthcare facility. I have a staff member who needs to miss work due to health issues (not yet eligible for FMLA), chronically, and often with almost no notice. I do everything I can to be reasonable and give people what they need, but this person has now run completely out of PTO and is impacting our ability to help patients the way we’re supposed to be. So, how do I best support this person while also respecting how a chronically absent team member impacts staff and patients?

So I just started working at a pharmacy/convenience type of store. Big chain company. After staying at least 5 minutes to half hours after shifts I realized on the pay stubs I didn’t receive pay for the extra time spent closing the store, dealing with customers etc. spoke to some co-workers and they confirmed that you don’t get paid after the time off. So for example, if I close the store at 10 pm you will never leave until 1015-1030. You don’t get paid for that time. Extra minutes every day adds up. Does anyone know any info?
