Antiwork

So I live in the UK and have bipolar so I’m protected by the equality act. Meaning I won’t face the same disciplinary measures as other people will. I have had a lot of absences these past 2 years. Last year was worse than this year though. All my absences have been written off so far. Last year I probably had about 10 different absences but it was a bad year for mental health. This year I’ve had a lot of “mental health days” and I’ve been physically ill a few times. I’ve probably been off about 6-7 times but they’ve only been short absences. I have so far got away with it but I worry what could happen in the future if I continue. I’m off sick today with a stomach bug (I’m mostly over it but I was looking forward to taking the day off too much). Anyone…

So, recently at work, I got cross-trained from my normal job responsibilities (helping park cars, working a toll booth, on-foot parking lot attendant basically) to a driving position. This, normally, wouldn’t be concerning. They’ve taken my 7 am – 3 pm shifts at my usual locations and responsibilities and swapped me, with no warning, to 6:15 pm to 2:45 am shifts. I know my health, I know my body, by the time I get to work, I’ll have been awake for 13 hours and the time bomb will be ticking for me becoming more and more sleep exhausted, driving a 5-ft wide van (with other human beings in it) along a 6-ft wide road with numerous obstacles. It’s an accident waiting to happen and I told management so. They told me that, unless I had a medical accommodation that corporate would accommodate, they wouldn’t be doing anything as training me…

Hello all I come here asking advice Without going too much into it, I am am close to signing on to a new job but need two refrences that have to be from jobs in Australia. I am from the UK I have had two long term jobs here but the problem is, one of them ended badly where I had to go through fair work to make a claim due to being underpaid the whole time I was there. My only other option is to use the 90 days regional work I had to do for my working holiday visa as a reference. My only concern is that it was a volunteer bushfire role and not a paid role. It was on a guys property and he wasn't really my manager or boss. Should I be honest and say this is all I've got and try he 90 regional…

A co-worker got hurt last Teusday. Here's the kicker: From what I can tell, it *was* doing work for the job, but A) it was off-site, and B) no-one asked him to do it. He just volunteered himself, and got hurt in the process. We're in California. Is this a Worker's Comp case or not? Boss says it's not. Best I can tell, she's not one to fuck people over just because. Does anyone know for sure?

Saying if you do what you love you never work a day in your life. It bothers me in some way that I cannot explain… someone put in a better experience/explanation please.

Going through the worst panic attack right now, boss wants to call me in for a meeting tomorrow morning because I called out too many days last week, normally don't call out but decided do so, want to just turn in my keys and quit. I don't have a job lined up yet, although I just have to make a few phone calls and likely will be able to find something within a few weeks if that since I work in the electrical trade, been working for the same a hole for over 6 years and I'm over it, never really quit or been fired but I just don't want to go back, ugh I'm having a nervous break down, help.
