Not sure if this is right for this sub, but I just want to say fuck landlords and the shitty scheme of Renter's Insurance. It is ridiculous that I have this insurance which covers jack shit when it comes to actual claims and coverage so that my landlord can claim he has no liability or some shit like that. It's just another fee, another way to oppress the working class. I am sick of landlords living off us like parasites and wanting no responsibility whatsoever.
Scared and confused
I officially lost my job this past Monday. I have been on interview after interview since, which feels like a job in and if itself… I received a couple of offers so far pending background/drug screenings (which I'll pass, no worries there), for between 20000 and 25000 (I worked fast food mgt, so not too surprising.) But now I am terrified. Terrified of change. I spent 19 years in fast food. Now I will (hopefully soon) be moving to restaurant. It's different, isn't it? I just want to collect unemployment.
Part two of my friend’s shitty boss
I posted part one earlier this week but it was deleted for breaking the rules. I wasn't aware you could only post text screenshots on Sundays. Here's part one – https://i.redd.it/fz0xk2r02nr91.jpg
As it says in the title I (17) just started my new job at homegoods. However they scheduled me for 5 hrs and 45 mins so I don't actually get a lunch just 1 simple break for 6 hours. Which is really difficult on me physically as I'm just running around the entire store the entire time. The manager is actually really nice and when I asked she said she will start to give me lunches. But it's the fact they do that in the first place. They also keep raising my end time. I said the latest I can work is 9 then bc they said they close at 9 30 that I could work till 915 or 9 30. But I'm scheduled until 10 and don't leave until 10 30 and don't get home until 11. And that is just not going to work with my school. Kinda…
Desperation.
I'm a scientist for a big biotech company. The management team has been lying about the quality of our products for years. We don't even check if they pass the criteria we state on the certificate of analysis. Our products are used for important biological research. I reported this to the compliance team at the company because I have conscience. The management team found out and bullied me. I reported the retaliation and that I was afraid to lose my job. I told them that I don't want a fight. They had HR put me on administrative leave to protect me from retaliation for at least a week until they investigate. One week ended yesterday and I have no idea if I'm supposed to go to work on Monday. I emailed HR yesterday but haven't heard anything. I'm too afraid to go. I'm on a visa and losing this job…
