My boss’s father grabbed me by the wrist twice

My last day was yesterday so now I’m going to rant. I’m a 22 year old woman who got a job at a small bakery directly out of college where usually it was just myself and the owner expect occasionally, her parents would come in to help out. One day, when I was serving something into a box, her father decided he didn’t like what I was doing and grabbed my wrist to make me stop. It made me deeply uncomfortable especially as a survivor of domestic abuse but I tried to put it behind me. Then it happened again about an hour later and I couldn’t ignore it. So I pulled my boss aside and calmly told her “your father has grabbed my wrist twice today when I was doing something he didn’t like. While I’m okay with verbal feedback, being touched like that makes me very uncomfortable and…

Just got laid off again twice in less then a year.

What’s the point of working if I keep getting laid off? I just got laid off again yesterday. Due to the company not doing well financially. And literally like 5 months ago I got laid off. Why the hell would I want to keep working? How can I trust these companies won’t keep laying me off? I’m just so fucking tired. Ugh…. I’ve been through this before so I’m honestly numb to it now. I already signed up for unemployment yesterday. I just can’t believe I have to go through this again….

Why don’t cashiers in the U.S. get to sit like the ones in Europe? Seated cashiers are the norm in European supermarkets, so why don’t more U.S. workers fight for this right?

Some corporations are confused at why they’re failing

Just interviewed for a couple jobs. The first one, I have to wait weeks for their HR machinations to set an interview date. Do the interview, nice site, nice walkthrough etc. They offer. I say I've got to see the result of the my second interview first and they wonder when they can know. I say next Fri at the latest. They're like “What about Mon??” I say that's possible, but the latest boundary is Fri. The kicker? They can't start me for a full month. So they make me wait, then expect immediate response from me, but I wouldn't start for another month. Silly sallys. That's how you lose a candidate. ​ This other job? Do the interview, I express excitement, they invite me back the next day. I'm probably gonna start Mon or ASAP because paperwork. They listened to me, and got the candidate. So that's my boring…
