If a black hole could appear in the sky right fing now, it would be such a fantastic sight to see. Even better would Earth being completely inside the event horizon at the time of this hypothetical incident.

Long story short there is a woman at work that is convinced that I have feelings for her, I have repeatedly told her that I don't, she has been making work increasingly awkward for me, very much hot and cold, she'll talk and then the next minute she's claiming that I'm “attached” to her. Normally, this sort of childish crap wouldn't bother me, but I'm a 6 foot 1 heavily tattooed, beared, big built man and she's about 5 feet tall and incredibly skinny and petite. We're in an error where let's be honest, she'll be believed no matter what she says. I'm absolutely petrified that her little comments about me are going to end up in the wrong hands, I have told her to leave me alone and only text me about work related matters and to bring a witness with her should she choose to come up to…
The “guest” was a Department of Corrections employee, staying at the hotel for a training. Their rooms are often untidy, to say the least. Initially, they had left a note saying, “smile, you’re on camera.” She responded with “thanks, make sure you tip your housekeeper.” Upon check out, this note was left. Most cleaners don’t risk their job and criminal prosecution to steal what, your stinky clothes that smell like axe or your sticky tablet? This note comes off as condescending, in a weird twisted-friendly/threatening manner. They are in the hotel semi-frequently, and no one has ever stolen from them or been anything but friendly and accommodating. They don’t work for the hotel, and they can’t record people! Be nice to hospitality workers who clean your bathroom messes (and to these guests specifically, why were there so many body fluids on the floor?)
I’ve always heard working for Costco is great based on pay and benefits. I don’t recall them dealing with “nobody wanting to work” Funny isn’t it…

work guilt sucks.
I tested positive for COVID-19 this past Monday. I work in education. Because of this I have to quarantine for 5 days. I'm finally starting to feel better, but the honest to god worst part of this is how I feel guilty for missing work. I work in public education, so I know my role is crucial for my students, but man alive does it suck to feel this way for missing so many days of school. I should focus on feeling better, not about how my colleagues are having to step up to fill the void my absence creates. I hate that it comes to this, and yet here I am, sitting at home stressed and frustrated that this all happened.
I work for a small company that was recently bought out by a bigger firm. We just finished getting enrolled in the new pay platform last month and today I noticed significant lower pay than I was expecting. We get paid bimonthly (twice a month, every two weeks). My company pays $21 an hour by the hour for 40 hours a week and then time and a half for every OT hour worked. In a two week period, I worked 84 hours: 4 hours of OT, and 80 hours of regular work, one can argue that because I used 4 hours of sick leave that’s not really working but it went towards my overall 84 hours in that period. Note: I’ve not noticed before if the employer has recently deducted OT pay when I used my sick leave in the same period and tbh I don’t work OT or use…

Is getting promoted a scam?
So a couple months ago I got promoted from my Junior Tech position to a Lead one with a 10% raise. But now I gotta do at least 2x the work I used to. So now I'm doing 2x work for 1.1x money and it just feels like a big scam. This was my first job after college so I thought working efficiently would be appreciated and rewarded but now I'm feeling like a sucker and Junior roles are the best because it gives you the best salary/responsibility ratio. Honestly this whole corporate ladder thing is such a bullshit.
