Antiwork

Due to a change in my college schedule, I went and talked to my manager about changing my availability. I filled out the needed paperwork and this was two weeks before the schedule was made. Well I got a call from a co-worker who said that I was not showing up for shifts and they wanted to fire me. I checked the schedule and lo and behold I was scheduled for ALL the days I said I couldn’t work and NONE of the days I could! I talked to the new store manager and he blamed me and said I must have not filled out the paperwork on time or at all. I can’t find or get ahold of the manager I talked to about it and gave the paperwork to. The store manager took me off the schedule for those days, but told me that I would be responsible…

So as the titled suggests, I work in the fast food industry. At least used to. We get one free meal while on our breaks. Pretty much the only think we get while working there. Even the free meals aren’t much but the same thing over and over again. Well a couple days prior to quitting, I had gotten a meal there and was halfway through eating it when I noticed it was undercooked. I threw the rest away and told them. All they said was that I should have taken it to them before eating it. Then that night, I started getting sick. Throwing up, getting the shits. I was miserable as fuck. It kept going till the next day and I called out. And just a kept going till the day I quit. I was feeling like shit and forced to come in. I go in and I…

Florida-USA. A few years ago, the nationwide restaurant chain I worked for was sued by some employees stating that their use of the word “required” when it came to uniforms meant that the company was to provide them. HR had to change all of our training materials to remove the verbiage “required” in terms of uniforms and supplies needed. I’m starting a new job at a brand new restaurant and they sent out an email yesterday stating that the server’s shoes must be a specific brand name and design. It’s an $85 shoe that’s not exactly easy to find. Based on what happened with my former employer, is this legal? I’ve been in the restaurant business for a really long time and it’s always been just a basic black non-slip shoe for every job I’ve worked. This would be a first requiring a specific brand and style. Thank you in…

The state legislature has put forth the question to the citizens on the ballot for this November. It's called amendment 1, it would take the 'right to work' law and make it part of the state constitution. I'm not voting for it, but there aren't that many free thinkers in this state.

Stress is at an all time high and if you need a mental health day, take it. Tell your boss the truth, or don’t and say you’re sick (sick of work is how I see it). I’ve had to explain this to multiple people at work who try to everything to come in to work even if they aren’t able to get things right at home. Fuck this job. Your mental health is miles more important than anything here. This can wait, your health can’t.
