My job is hybrid with 2 days remote/3 days in office. Our office “manager” works 100% remote from another state (I’ve never met her before lol). Firstly, I was told to select the 2 days I would be working remote – I chose Monday and Thursday. I will be starting night classes soon and requested to switch it to Monday and Friday and was told “no” by this “manager”. I’ve been sick with the flu for the past 2 weeks and this manager has been harassing me every day to email her that I’m sick so she can announce via email to the entire office what sickness I have and that I will be WFH on the day I called in sick. She is constantly telling the entire office what sickness I have and what my symptoms are in these “WFH sick day emails”, which makes me feel very uncomfortable…
Capitalists always act like you’re being lazy if you’re not starting a business and that there’s no excuse for not being financially independent.
Anybody who thinks healthcare should be tied to employment genuinely wants the worst for the economy and for people. I need healthcare asap in order to work and be productive but our system is ruining my ability to work, be productive, and to live. That’s it.
my boss tested positive for covid
2 days ago my fast food job was SUUUPER understaffed. I'm talked 2 people in service and a packed restaurant. My manager shared on Facebook that he tested positive for covid the day after. The store manager or store owner didn't even bother to tell anyone that was in close proximity to him all day long . As a concerned employee, I want to bring it up. I feel that my managers have a moral obligation to inform me that I was exposed to covid (or any illness really). How can I bring this up? I am autistic and overall a very anxious person and I'm having trouble coming up with a script. Any advice helps.
My toxic work story
So this happened in 2021 while I was working at a arts and crafts store. For context I was 17 at the time. My grandmother had been going through a divorce at the time and was alone for the first time in her entire life. She understandably was having a hard time and tried to unalive herself. I was at work when I found out. Me and my grandma had always been close so when I found out I had to leave. My GM wasn’t there so I went to the assistant manager to tell her the situation and she let me go home. Everything was good until I came in the next day. My GM decided it was appropriate the call me out in front of all my coworkers. Here’s how the interaction went down. GM: “OP I see that you left yesterday, do you really think that was…
So not too long ago my wife called me saying she had fallen in the tub. Now for reference she already has a bad back and the doctors can't find out why. I told boss I had to go and immediately asked when I'd be back. Like dude… Wife's hurt. Be happy if I'll be back tomorrow. Well about an hour later I get a text saying he wants a doctor's note, from her. It's already intrusive to ask about notes from us but I quit on the spot when he asked that. Who the fuck asks for a doctor's note for someone other than their own employee???!!! This shit has got to stop. I'm sorry guys just my rant but this had me seeing red
