I dont want to to to work today
Mandatory overtime makes me lose all hope and motivation Only having 4 days to yourself a month is so demoralizing and makes me feel inhuman. I want to be free.

Yeah right.
Knowing what you know now, what do you wish you could go back and ask? Alternatively, what one question will you now always ask at future job interviews to make sure you're making the right decision?
I work within the cannabis industry. This week I interviewed at a new company and was hired on the spot. However, once I began asking questions about my schedule I quickly realized what kind of company this is. HR told me they require 100% availability 7 days a week. Your schedule rotates, so different shifts every week with “last minute changes you’re required to accommodate.” As the title says, this is a minimum wage job. I interviewed for a shift lead position and they told me that on top of “100% availability” it’s my duty to be on call on my days off and if I want one specific day off, I must request the day 1 month in advance, which they may not approve. I should have realized what I was dealing with after hearing that one of their locations unionized, also every employee I met had been there…

Can my employer make me split my FMLA?
My wife and I are trying for a baby and I am under the assumption that because it’s family medical leave, both of us would be entitled to 12 weeks off once the baby arrives. But she said that 6 of our coworkers that have had children with each other (3 couples) had to split it up as our company’s policy is it’s 12 weeks “per baby” not “per person.” So they only got 6 weeks each, or had to split the 12 weeks between the two of them somehow (2 of the fathers didn’t get any time off and gave it to their partners instead). This is NOT maternity/paternity leave. It’s FMLA. Is this legal?
I haven’t even started working yet and I’m dreading it so fucking much. It feels so hopeless. I try to comfort myself by thinking, “This isn’t sustainable, it HAS to change soon,” but the closer I get to my degree, the more like a lie it feels. Thoughts? Opinions? Consolence? I will take any of these.
