WFH, on cam, and my boss asks if I could switch rooms

My boyfriend and I both work from home and we share a room. My boss calls me randomly with webcam on throughout the day to 'check in'. She noticed my boyfriend working from home behind me and asked if I could please switch rooms because of the confidential data on the screen (I sometimes have whole social security numbers up on screen). The problem is we live with his parents and there isn't an extra room for me to work in. We don't make enough for an apartment or a house so we are forced in this small space together and we certainly don't want to be. I'd love my own room but I only make 15 an hour and it barely covers my 80k in student loans, let alone anything beyond that. Can they actually fire me for not switching rooms or is there anything illegal that I am…

Got a “bonus” for working a Covid unit. Put in my two weeks for calling out one shift for a medical issue. They pulled me off the schedule. Then I got this in the mail. I’m considering telling them to deduct it from the last shift they never let me work.

If small business/franchise owners are struggling because of a labour shortage, why not close and work for another small business/franchise?

Then everyone will have a job and there will be enough work to go around, right? Everyone wins, right?

How I quit by sending my boss a pic of my ass

I should start off that I used to be a truck driver. This was many years ago but everyone I tell the story to just loves it. TLDR at the end. I worked long hours away from family. I almost never got my requested home time approved therefore I'd be out for weeks if not months before I was able to get home. I would come home if I ran out of time and I was close enough to get picked up by someone and just leave my truck wherever I was. Well, lo and behold I developed something called a pilonidal cyst, directly on my tailbone in my early adult years. It essentially fills up with blood and pus, and then will burst. But in between that there is a lot of pain to experience. I couldn't sit, I couldn't stand upright, and I couldn't lay down unless I…

Lowe’s boycott action

After my own personal experiences and the shared experiences of many of our fellow workers in this sub I propose a strategic and targeted boycott of all Lowe's stores. For those who wonder “why what did they do?” Allow Lowe's workers current and former to explain below on what their business practices are.

I went into administration and it was a great choice.

Since most of you guys may be Americans, this thread may not apply to you, however I want to share my personal experience after I left my job and started to work the German state. My last boss wasn't a dick as most of your bosses are, but I hated the job nontheless. Shitty work and shitty pay. I quit and was unemployed for quite a while. Months later I applied for a job at a German state administration – basically I'm one of the guys who decides whether a refugee is allowed to stay in the country or not. It's emotionally quite demanding to listen to all of their stories, but on the plus side there are big benefits: – great pay (compared to working hours, etc) – 39h a week, meaning 7:48h a day + 30 min break you have to take – 30 days of (payed) vacation,…
