Never been. Currently don't have a reason to go but when I think about the cost of living, and how I spend my day each day to afford said cost, I start to think that perhaps being in gaol isn't such a big compromise. Free food, free time from not having to prepare food, also more free time because you're not working, free electricity, free shelter, free water. To me it seems you give up some freedom for many more free perks.
Anybody else getting fucked on their taxes this year? I fall below the poverty line, have worked at the same job for two years but this year the IRS are saying I owe them money because I got a dollar raise in August (working part time) and made more last year than the previous year with an estimation of $200 back when last year it was $2000 back. I can barely even afford to eat yet I have to pay so much in taxes and don't even get them back? LOL ABOLISH THE GOVERNMENT AND IRS ONCE AND FOR ALL
Pretty much the title. You know the type, always watching what you do even though it's not their job, acting entitled and always reporting what you do to your actual supervisor just to be a *****. I'll probably quit within the next month or two depending on if I get the new job I'm aiming for, but in the meantime, how did you deal with this if it happened?
I think Glassdoor review would help encourage incoming workers push for the benefit. Any other ideas?
I have disability and accommodation status at work due to Major Depressive Disorder and migraine headaches. A few times a month, (usually 1 or 2 days max) I am unable to attend work due to these issues. I’m not fully disabled as I can go to work the majority of the time, but every day is an absolute struggle. I was diagnosed almost 10 years ago. Why do I still feel guilty af when I need to take time due to these issues? I have a very supportive workplace who has said this is not a problem. (I’m a unionized public employee). After my sick time is drained, I do not receive pay for the hours I miss. (I’m used to the budget probs, it just comes with the territory of having prolonged illness) Again I only average about 1-2 days missed per month. I’ve come a long way with…
I was just hired at a cpa firm last month. I immediately let my boss know that I had a surgical procedure scheduled, and I would be unable to work 1/9-1/13. This was scheduled before I started the job and I was unable to change the date. On Friday 1/13 I emailed my boss telling her I was still feeling unwell and needed an extra day off (Monday 1/16). She replied on Monday midday saying since I needed an extra day, she now wants a note from my doctor proving I was “in his care” and released to return to work. I initially ignored this because I released myself to return to work by coming back in on Tuesday. Just now, she again asked for a note and I told her I released myself and questioned why she wanted a post dated note from the doctor and she said she…
I work at a Home Services Company and I applied to be the new Permitting Coordinator after the previous one quit. Boss told me I wouldn’t be able to get a raise and that I would mess up a department when I take vacations so they don’t recommend me taking that job. BUT every single time we get a new permit admin for another trade, they train with me because “I am the senior permitting admin” despite being the newest one, and when we get a coordinator they are sitting with me so I can train them So I’m good enough to teach them but not enough to lead. Fucking hypocrisy
