Antiwork

Hello, I was employed at my company for a little over a year. I came to work sick one day and was throwing up. I went home and ended up needing to go to the ER. When I arrived at the ER on 11/10/22, I had a seizure that dislocated my right shoulder (I previously just had surgery on my left shoulder for 5 dislocations in July 2022), I was two days away from my year anniversary, but my benefits manager stated I could use two vacation days to qualify for FMLA which would protect my job, payrate, and position. My return date for work was set as 11/30, but I had a pre approved vacation for 5 days from 11/30 to 12/6. So this brought my actual return date to 12/7. When I returned to work on 12/7 i was told I was being released from the company. I…

I work as a delivery e-bike rider for an on-demand grocery company. Today I walked out because they demand I deliver groceries in minutes, while they cannot fix full batteries in a working day. The manager demanded we ride heavy e-bikes along with heavy groceries without peddle support and light on the bikes. I clocked out, filed for sick leave and walked out without saying anything. An hour has passed and no one called so far, but tomorrow I will have to contact my union. Good thing is I can easily get another delivery job or simply apply for a work from home job, as I have a good degree, and the labor market is super tight here. So I don't give a f@ck anymore. Btw the company is Flink and based in the Netherlands.

Context: I was a marketing executive at a medium size company in a large metropolitan area (USA). In the past 2.5 years my team and I have achieved dozens of things for the company but the bottom line is we were directly responsible for growing our annual revenue by 35% year over year. I have the data proving this fact and presented it to the president of my former company during my annual review at the beginning of November. I received nothing but praise. In fact, he has never had a complaint about me or the department I built throughout my tenure. We got a new COO a few months ago and he's been on a tear restructuring and firing people left and right but the presendent of the company reassured me over and over that my team was safe because we're doing “excellent work.” Story: On November 30th (the…

I'm a People / Project Manager with 10 reports, I know my team wants to work 4 days a week, but it is prohibited by my leadership due to overtime rules, my reports are not salaried. They are all remote for the most part and work is basically data processing so it would be 10 hours worth of work per day for 4 days a week versus 5, 8 hour days. Would you be comfortable working 10 hours and not collect OT and not snitch? I would have to produce schedules that people were on 5 day work weeks to finance and leadership so there is risk to me as well.

Kids are autistic and sometimes have issues at school . I cannot take off to pick them up because I have no sick pay left. Technically, they can't keep me at work , but they can also mark my leave as awol.

Employers are same day laying off people left and right because they made bad hiring decisions and overhired last year. Why should employees care about their employers feelings, when most employers don't care about their employees? Besides, many of the big states have laws on the books preventing intrusive reference checks anyway, so who cares? Quit the same day you start your new job I say.

Told my doc I was making an ADA request and asked for a letter. They provided FMLA paperwork instead… but it has all the same information HR wants to see in a letter. HR says they can’t use it for an ADA request. It was the DOL form, signed and filled out by my doc. My opinion is, this is still a legal document from my healthcare provider with the same information about limitations and accommodations that HR wants composed as a letter and they should be able to use it. Is this opinion correct? If not, Does this mean the “interactive process” is void? Do I ask them if my request is denied? I don’t see my doc again for 6 weeks.
