I led a mass exodus today

Sort of a tl;Dr at the bottom. Our hotel recently got bought out by an Indian family. We were previously locally owned and operated. There's been no communication with any of us about the takeover but the old owners were assured “we're keeping everybody on”. And then shit really hit the fan. I asked what roles they'd be taking over. 2 of the new owners said “we don't know”. Then they spoke in their native language… Looked at me… And laughed. So naturally I had a pretty bad feeling. And I really hate being lied to… It's a terrible way to start off a new relationship. So I walked. My gf followed me, 2 of our remaining desk clerks walked, and 3 of our housekeepers. And then! They tried to demote my old manager (who I absolutely love. She's been amazing for the 5 years I've been there). She's been…

Interview process requires video clips as responses

So I applied for a remote tech support position. And it seems part of the interview process is to send video responses to questions. And you have 48 hours to respond. Is this a normal thing? It just seems very strange to me. Also, unrelated but a recruiter contacts me but refuses to give me any details about the position. Is there something I am missing here?

Adderall, antidepressants, or testosterone replacement therapy?

I'm in my early 30s and I've been a mess since my teenage years. Been diagnosed with anxiety, depression, PTSD simply through a series of questions. How valid can this be? Anyway, my main problem is having to work. I can get by with my problems OK when I don't have to work. But when I have to have a job and work, life becomes intolerable. I have not been diagnosed with ADHD (haven't gone for a diagnosis). I have been diagnosed with low testosterone, 300. I don't know, and at this point, don't care what the source of my problem is (depression, ADHD, or something else). I just need to become numb to be able to work and save a lot of money to retire ASAP (this in my view, is my only salvation). I was prescribed anxiety medication years ago, and most recently escitalopram (antidepressant). I never took…

Worst Boss

I have a boss who does not know how to do her job. I pretty much have done her job the last 4 months I have worked here. She gets angry with me if I can't finish a project even though my trainer doesn't know how to help me finish it. I told her and she didn't follow up with it until I was off work. For other tasks, I offer options to make things better and she says it is a time waster, thus making me not be able to complete my job correctly. So fucking over this job…

Big bank and I get 0 sick leave days

I work for a big bank, I’m in customer service the job is brain numbing. The benefits seem great at first but we get 5 callouts a year. That’s it. We can’t get excused for being sick, covid was the first time we got approved leave without getting an occurrence for missed work. I’ve been working from home nearly 3 years and they are now forcing us to return to office. Cutting any covid leave. And I’m going to have to go back to being in an office being exposed to sick people who aren’t motivated to stay home when they are sick. Things could be so much better if they didn’t have this weird asinine desire for us to not work from home, despite our jobs literally having no potential for collaboration, and we are not allowed to talk to people in office. I feel so utterly stuck, frustrated,…

I wasn’t able to work for 6 days due to IT issues. Manager is making me “make up” those hours by working overtime and weekends. Is this allowed?

So long story short, I’m a WFH employee in IT (ironically) and they have acknowledged that the issue is on their end and as a result, I was unable to work for a few days as I didn’t have certain features which we all need to work every day. I have documentation of all IT. calls I made and reference numbers for this exact scenario. My boss pretty much said since I was out for 6 days (salary employee here) and got paid, I should make up the hours on my own time, which means after my scheduled work hours and weekends until those hours have been recouped. I told them that this wasn’t my fault and I called out IT dept for assistance all those days I had issues and my boss never mentioned anything about me making those hours up later. I guess now that they are so…
