I lost 120 dollars for being sick…

I’m sick, fever, vomiting and I work in the food industry. My bosses response is he’ll work my shift tomorrow, but I trade my delivery shift next week to work inside… I make maybe 500 every two weeks. So I’m losing both of my most profitable days. Make it make sense?

My way to deal with the Pain of depending on Work

Disclaimer: The following text is really long, opinionated, biased with privilege and very inaccurate or at least optimistic. This is a way how I deal with my struggle with work and I am leaving this here for someone that likes to read about it. Maybe some of you find it useful. I know, that everybody’s circumstance is different and some struggle more than others. You may not agree with me and I understand that. Than I hope, at least the text was bearable to read. System of Exploitation How does it feel for you guys to be exploited by the different Entities in the System? To become indebted to study for example? To be treated like garbage by your employer? To be forced to work a job you do not want to work in, to be able to afford your survival? There are certainly more kinds how you can feel…

Walked out of a job yesterday and it felt so satisfying.

I picked up a job as a bar cook for some extra money and a bar back was trying to play kitchen manager talking down to me about how the food was plated and my methods of cooking after being given no training on the menu. I was washing dishes following typical 3-compartment sink guidelines and he told me I was doing it wrong. Just grabbed my flannel and walked out without looking back. It felt so satisfying.

got hurt, they are going to do a urine test.

Happened on Wednesday . I'll probably be tested on Monday morning. Then I'll be fired shortly after because I use cannabis for anxiety and depression. Right now I'm contemplating suicide at work on Monday. My life is worthless now .

My job is telling us to use our PTO to remain at full time status after cutting our hours. Is this even legal?

Made this meme today.

Was thinking about how many people get called in to work in snow storms. Then I thought of the Day After Tomorrow and how some employers would be. https://preview.redd.it/bbomn2ke04ca1.jpg?width=876&format=pjpg&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=16afc175a62d8bec29c3ebf4c3639923534c4fe0
