This has got to stop
I work for the public defender as a legal assistant. At first things seem okay. I had quit my previous job at a private law firm a couple months ago and moved to this area. I thought my old job was micromanaging and toxic but honestly being at my current job made me compare the two places. Old job wasn’t so bad compared to this one. I hate calling out sick at my current job. I have to notify supervisor half an hour before my shift starts that I’m sick and won’t come in. But that’s not enough. I have to call back later to have a “chat.” Always always the damn chat. I don’t know if it’s because of COVID or what. But even then, at my old job, I would call in sick and they take my word for it and leave me alone. And I’d be honest…
Im not sure if this is okay to post of anti work, I apologize. This job is a warehouse, everyone works on their own. But my friend recently quit her old job and is looking for a new one so I told her to apply for my job. She’s got an interview over the phone today, I read this and told her not to mention we are friends or that she knows anyone who works here. This is someone I don’t have conflict with and I don’t see it having an effect on the way I work and complete my tasks. But I would hate to get fired or forced to resign over this. Does a friend count as a personal relationship? Say she does get hired, will I have to pretend I don’t know her?
I put in my two week notice and my boss wants me to work another day since they are gonna be out 5 people. She asked me after I was done with my shift and I told her firmly my last day is this Friday. But she still wants an answer. How do I approach this, since I only work 2 days at this job?
I asked a question of my boss about consultants in my workplace and chain of command. My boss replied asking me, why I would ask this question. I responded by giving an explanation that included “ basically for cya purposes in general considering I am now receiving work requests from people that aren’t actual employees and I don’t want to be doing projects for the consultants only to here I shouldn’t be working on said projects”

Signing retirement card ideas
Hey all, So, we have a retirement coming up in my office for a lady that doesn’t know my name. I’ve been working at the company for 5 years, on some of the same committees and done some fundraising events together. I’m not really that bitter that she doesn’t know my name. It’s the fact that I’m the only black female in the company and she calls me by my very white, blonde coworkers name. I’ve corrected her, other people have corrected her while giving her the most perplexed look, “Like how can you confuse the two of them?!” Anyways, I’m petty and have been trying to think of how going to sign her retirement card when it comes across my desk. I think of this every time she calls me by my coworkers name.
