I thought I’m inefficient at resting. Turns out they simply want too much of our time and energy

A standard work week of 50 hours (for salaried ppl) was always too much for me. But it's not my fault for getting tired and not resting, it's objectively too much. I discussed with friends and they agreed we shouldn't work past 2 pm. A standard work day shouldn't be more than 6 hours, this is how we would get time and energy left for everything else in life. The fact that they are squeezing at least 40 hours is exploitative and wrong

Boss accidentally sent me a message gossiping about me to myself when she clearly intended it to go to someone else.

For context, the person who sent me the text is my manager, she doesn't work in my office all the time and only checks in rarely. I have to commute for work, and the traffic and parking has caused me to be late a few times. Mind you I leave at the same time every day and there's been a few days where the traffic was especially bad and so I was a few minutes late, I would let my supervisor know every time and I fully take responsibility for the times I've been late- no excuses, I get it. My supervisor is the one who is always working with us in the office. We are a tiny office of 3 people, and I'm a pretty new employee. My supervisor has been late, and straight up left at the her shift because she has some sort of anxiety/ emotional issues…

Hawai‘i is a one-party consent state. Does that mean I can legally record a conversation with my employer without their knowledge?
