Is that a thing? It should be.
If any of you have the displeasure of having healthcare through Kaiser Permanente, you probably know that they are driving their workers to the brink of striking. If anyone feels like telling Kaiser what they think of bargaining in bad faith and raking in billions while both under staffing and raising healthcare premiums at the same time, here is the complaint form: https://healthy.kaiserpermanente.org/support/submit-a-complaint#/tellus (note that you basically need to be a Kaiser customer to file a complaint, but they are a huge provider all over the US, so I figure at least some of us are.)

Only 25 minutes into work…
And I already want to wrap it up for today. I work 1st line and am being bombarded by callers waiting to create tickets. We have two branches. Us in the North East and some colleagues in the south UK. Basically, a huge amount of south colleagues walked out and never came back. Now we in the North have been roped into taking their calls but only to raise tickets, not to fix the issues. Was happy and motivated until the micromanager stuck a condescending note in the Teams channel stating “When starting our shifts, we need to focus on inbound calls. This is a priority”. Like, yes, we know. How do you expect us to take calls and focus on previously raised tickets? The man doesn’t even answer the phones himself and thinks himself more important in the chain. Just having a moan, please forgive me.

Are all corporate jobs like this?
Just a little background, I'm working in logistic as a purchasing officer in a hospital. I have been working in this corporate for 4 years and the pay is good but the environment is so dumb so here's a list: 1. Treating workplace like a workplace. 2. I get called arrogant for wanting to have my lunch alone and a short nap instead of joining colleagues for lunch. (P.s. I got rejected and ignored a lot when I ask if I could join them for lunch when I was 1-2 years in. So I got tired of it and prefer eating alone) 3. I hear a lot of stories about me behind my back and people giving me the look like I'm giving them a hard time when my job is to help them as much as I can. 4. I got a lot of complaints about me when things…

Wow weird jobs nowadays
This happened in 2022 in Utah, USA. I was working for a company for 4 years. It was a part-time job to pay my bills. Of those 4 years of working, I had 3 years and 6 months of awesome time with a boss who was not racist, gave me plenty of breaks, and every month, he would throw a party while all the employees were getting paid for a few hours. He retired. When he retired, we got a new boss/supervisor. She is a white woman in her 50s. I thought my work culture would be the same, but I was wrong. While working with her, she would call me “Ming”. Ming is not my name. I tried correcting her multiple times that Ming is not my name, yet she persisted and would also call me that I am lazy. When I asked her why I am lazy, she…
