Why is it that my dad can’t understand that 60+ hours a week in a factory is rough.

When I say, I don't have time to do the things I want to do, he says “tough” or that I still have time on my off days…. I work overnights on top of that which means that I don't actually get much time during the day to do things and I can't actually change my sleep schedule when I am off. I've talked about it with other people and some of whom also say things like “more work the better” or something like that. It's like they don't understand that working 10-12 hours a shift takes a lot of energy out of you and when you do get time off, you're too tired to do anything. It's hard to create a life outside of work and it feels like you're just alive to make someone else rich. I do get paid a decent wage for my area and I…

Can I sue my insurance for this?

I have a self funded insurance denying me coverage for long term disability due to my body mass index for being too high. Is this something that I can sue the insurance company for. The company is Lincoln financial group through Walmart if that’s at all relevant. Thank you in advance!

Within 2 months, our new building manager has caused practically everyone to quit

…and if it weren't for living in an extremely expensive rural and small town with almost no job prospects, I would have dipped out myself, so I'm watching the place burn to the ground from the sidelines. I started work at our shipping facility a little more than a year ago and all was well. I had an injury from a previous job that was accommodated for by the manager at the time who was awesome. When she applied for the operations position, corporate gave it to a guy who lived several states away in a far more populated area. My coworkers were hesitant about the guy, but I felt like I'd give him the benefit of a doubt(oh how naive and young I was). Within two months, this guy has proceeded to: raise our wages to 16.65…..but cut our hours so it's basically not even different from before removed…

What’s the best way to leave a very toxic job with extremely toxic management?

I’ll be leaving after I get my salary (10 days from now) because otherwise they wouldn’t give it to me. My wife said that I should get my money and then walk out of the company in my lunch break and never come back. Anyone has a better idea?

Feel guilty calling in sick

I work part-time in a café from a national chain. It's very fast paced at times, always on your feet, serving customers ect. I only started this job 2 weeks ago and I've had to call in sick the last 2 days because I have become really unwell with what I can only imagine is flu (too bad for cold and COVID test came back negative. All other symptoms match). I actually do have a nice manager, from what I can tell in the short time that I've known him, but I can't help but feel guilty for calling in sick because it is a few days before Christmas and we're probably at our busiest when my coworkers are already under a lot of pressure and it looks very suspicious that I'm ill the week before Christmas but I genuinely am sick. It's also not just a case of feeling…

The startup I worked at laid me off and is refusing to send me my final paycheck unless I sign an NDA. I’m pretty fed up that they haven’t paid me in nearly three weeks, so I forwarded the emails to every company stakeholder.
