Wife is 8 months pregnant and just got COVID because her job, a veterinary clinic, doesn’t make anyone wear masks

Somehow veterinary medicine is not considered a healthcare facility and therefore masks are not required. She is the only one who wears a mask. She now has COVID, as well as several staff members, and the clinic is closed for the rest of the week. Of course the cherry on top is, as soon as she tells them she’s pregnant, they ask when she plans on coming back. I’m trying to convince her to just stay home until the baby is born and tell her job to fuck off

McDonald’s cheated me out of a raise and had the nerve to call me greedy

I worked at McDonald's throughout high school. I was promoted to crew trainer, which came with a raise of 25¢ CAD. Over the next year I trained literally every new staff member in every section of the store. Our restaurant was then given the award for the #1 McDonald's in Ontario. Their 25¢ raise went pretty far. The thing is, they intentionally timed the promotion period to immediately before minimum wage increased by about 40¢. They sat me down to explain the responsibilities of my new position and the new pay. With a big smile, they explained that I would normally get a 25¢ raise but I would be receiving a 40¢ raise instead, a “raise” to the new minimum wage. When I complained, saying that my raise should be applied after the minimum wage increase the owner and present manager got upset and reiterated I was getting a larger…

Connection between severe anxiety and work

I have been in denial for months….but I started a new company early this year that has been through many big corporate transactions (split offs of business units, and sales of business units). I am an early career person who has been promoted in the industry a lot faster than a normal person would. I was thrown into the fire of that since day 1 on TOP of my normal duties and just learning the business. This place is fast paced and has never ending “fire drills” that come straight from the ceo or chro. I literally get up from my desk to make a meal or use the restroom at home, and I come back to slack messages or an email with a “fire drill”. I start work at 8am and typically log off at 6-6:30PM. When I try to do thing after work, I feel obliged to have…
