need help.

So I recently got hired into a transportation company. We haul almost everything. Now the problem is that they don't trust/train me. I came forward about having adhd which I didn't need to do so since it only affects me when I have to concentrate one something difficult. Which I can easily do when I wear some noise cancel headphones. But the work isn't difficult or challenging me. I've mentioned it every single week but to no help. I have about 1,5 effective workhours and it mostly consists of checking our planners work. I noticed that they send dangerous goods by boat quite a lot. Without the proper authorisation and approval of the ferry. They will simply hide the dangerous goods between other pallets. So when they do a small check they can't see it. I have mentioned it 4 times now that it is unacceptable to do so but…

am I an ass?

I've only worked at this restaurant for 1 week but I have received an offer for a better paying job that I'm frankly happier in. Would I be an ass if I handed In my 2 weeks? P.s. I would post this in r/AITA but I felt like this was a more appropriate place to ask.

Hypothetically, if my company eliminated all PTO usage effective immediately, am I screwed?

A company I work for in the field of… customer service in apparel…announced yesterday that all PTO requests would be denied, and missing 3 days of work through January would result in termination. I have 70 hours of PTO accrued and can only roll over 40. So I can't use my PTO without being fired. There's a clause in the handbook about “the company reserves the right to change all benefits and plans at any time.” Me and my whole team feel absolutely screwed. Is this even legal? Feels like upper management is squeezing us dry, since they fired a ton of people and now their work is falling on us. Hence the no PTO.

From today’s NY Times Morning Briefing

The company has been talking up new markets being opened and plans for the future…then furloughs me and other employees

I work for a food delivery service in Louisiana that recently went through a name change. I do dispatch, which is basically overseeing orders being assigned to drivers and deciding on compensation and general logistics. Originally, our job was simple. We oversaw order assignment, while calls to anyone went through our support staff, since they were hired specifically for customer service. We only texted drivers to check on them, everything else was sent to support and they would call then get back to us with an answer. Easy, right? Full time with benefits, seems like a great job, especially after working retail during the pandemic. Well things start to crack. Around august last year, things started to change. It was really alarming since the change in scheduling that they hyped up to “better fit the needs of the business” ended up with a lot of people's hours being below full…
