Antiwork

I was sent home today because my manager suspected me of being high on drugs because I was “working sluggish” is the legal?

Hello Reddit community, I am starting a movement to advocate for fair pay for waiters and other service industry workers. As many of you may know, waiters and other service industry workers often rely on tips as a significant portion of their income. However, this system is inherently flawed and often results in underpaid and exploited workers. According to research, tipped workers are twice as likely to live in poverty as non-tipped workers (1). This is because the federal minimum wage for tipped workers is just $2.13 per hour, a rate that has not increased in over 30 years (2). This means that many waiters and other service industry workers are forced to rely on the generosity of customers to make a living wage. Furthermore, the tipped wage system disproportionately affects women and people of color, who make up a disproportionate share of tipped workers (3). This creates a significant…

Long story short, Gamefam management required long hours, gave 25%-50% to expected pay, and even had developers work several weeks without payment – before silently “firing” them and stealing their work. In response to these serious allegations, Gamefam publicy posted a “response”, which you can't really differentiate from a hiring ad, not apologizing, nor even mentioning any claims and their defense regarding it.

Requested my boss for a day off a week and 4 days in advance. My text was left on read, and when the schedule was made/posted with me on the day I requested off I was told to contact HR if I have an issue. Contacted 2 HR people and they left me both on read. For context I put in my 2 weeks notice before the request so I wonder if they are just being weird since all the other times I was accommodated. I still intend to call off that day since its actually a serious family matter, but given the circumstances I wonder how would yall react or call off on said day?

I have a 1:1 with my manager tomorrow in a job that I'm so f*ing over and ready to quit. If I got fired tomorrow, I'd run out the proverbial front door, waving my severance, declaring myself finally free. What are small things that I can do to really annoy the hell out of her? She's one of those hard ass middle management types… lives for the job, sucks management's dick, calls you on Christmas Eve asking for updates on things that could absolutely wait until the new year. Total toxic kind. I'm planning on saying “I'm sorry, can you repeat that?” a bunch of times, as if the speakers on my brand new MacBook Pro are somehow not functioning properly. She *hates* when she has to repeat herself and waste that precious 1:1 time. Any other ideas? Nothing that could get me fired, per se… just generally annoying stuff…

I was a store manager for Luxottica (US) but after 2 bouts of covid had to go on medical leave. I'm still fighting long covid and other disability and was unable to return. I filed for an extention but was told I had used up all of my allotted time, and since I didn't (couldnt) return yet was told that it was considered a Voluntary Resignation. Is this going to mess me up for applying for unemployment because they listed it as resignation? Or is it still legally being fired?
