Compulsory 4/10 schedule.
I work for a college and for years our union has been trying to negotiate the option of a 4/10 work schedule, but it’s always been turned down because of the scheduling problems it would cause for supervisors. Like every place we are short staffed. Our department used to be very popular to work for; however, management has been so dysfunctional very few people want to transfer in. As a way to incentivize people transferring in they are proposing a 4/10 work week for everyone and our division will be closed every Friday. To make matters worse, they want to do it on a trial basis. I have been planning to retire and this is the last straw, I can’t see staying there. I resent the hell out of this idea because it is solely on their terms even though they are making themselves out to be generous and caring.…

The empirical history and a formal understanding of the system validates definitively. Empirical history shows that black slaves may have been freed by legal decree but a phenomenon called “convict leasing” was instantly employed which today's exploitation of criminals behind bars for commercial purposes – is merely a variation. Convict leasing was an incredibly brutal practice that basically returned the newly freed slaves back to the plantations because of bond loans – or else being exploited by corporations directly hiring the imprisoned people for free labor.

Ranting about reviews
I'm just really annoyed because I had my review today and I think I've improved noticeably over the years but they just have the same complaints every f****** time. Also they had me sign a review paper which they never have done in the past and let me know that everything on it was basically what we had discussed. They offered to let me read it, but as we had already discussed it I didn't feel the need to. (I know that was a mistake. Hindsight is 20/20). After getting back to my desk and taking a look at the papers, I realized the wording was much stronger and used a lot of phrases like “not acceptable” and “no longer tolerated” which were not used in the review. I am planning on asking for some revisions to the paper and some clarification as no consequences were listed. And if you're…

Approved vacation was taken back
Throwaway just in case. Put in for 6 day vacation. Was discussed with and approved by the manager. Today was told some else requested off first and manager forgot. So their time off was approved and mine unapproved.
