Antiwork

I landed a pretty well paying gig at an airport recently – and I’ve been coming in as needed for a couple weeks now because they don’t have me on the schedule yet. It’s a part time job but they’ve had me working over 40 hours a week which is cool for now but not what I was looking for. Before I even got hired I told the manager that there’s a few days later this month that I 100% cannot work, and she said that was alright – cut to today and we get the new schedule and she has me working every single day that I said I couldn’t. And now it’s on me to get the shifts covered on my own time. Feels pretty bad but I need the money, I just wish things were different

I've seen a lot of posts about substandard gifts from companies. My wife has 40-50 people below her. What is an appropriate Christmas gift? In the past we have made candy sleighs, made jam, or made cookies to give everyone. What else could we do? Gifts for 40-50 people add up really quickly and we don't make enough to spend $1000 on $20 gift cards for everyone. Is there something else we can do that won't be insulting?

Does anyone have the link to that cartoon where it's the guy that moved in from the country to New York and everything is loud and depicted as a loud speaker? I want to do an analysis of it for an assignment. Thanks.

I have a degree and three years of experience in the field, the pay is 43,000 a year. The role I was hired for is to work directly with the design team, bridging the gap between them and all other departments design requests. Additional responsibilities include updating building signage, booking vendors, ordering things, and helping out with events when needed. Severe staffing issues in my department have recently come up. They let another employee go, this employee was responsible for setting up, running, and taking down all events as well as tracking inventory and some other smaller duties (it is the position directly under mine). This employees responsibilities have now all be given…

Hey all. I need some help. I quit my last job a week and a half ago. My former employer deducted my entire gross pay from my last paycheck. She gave me a bonus a month ago and is now telling me her lawyer said it's legal to “take back the bonus”. This sounds completely illegal and unethical. I'm going to contact the dept of labor and my state's dept of labor, what else can I do? Thanks in advance for your help!

So background: My mother is on her third stage of chemo and lost her house and got her car stolen, All within the last year. I am getting her on my lease and put her up in a hotel while it is processing so I am not with her everyday. She's on very heavy medications, fentanyl, oxycodone, among many others.

Yesterday I went into work and got my morning tasks done and asked my boss for an early lunch,explaining she has not been heard from in two days and I need to check in on her. She accepted and I left to find my mom was gone. She was not at the hotel…
