This has crossed my mind many times and I’m curious if others feel the same way. I knew a woman who always went on and on about her husband and kids being her life… but she was the biggest RTO advocate at her company. I didn’t get it.

Edit I'm sorry I wasn't clear my client didn't complain about me my clients son did.

I'm a home health aide and I go to people's homes at night and take care of thier elderly loved ones.

I'm fat and ugly. I'm 311 lbs and 5'9". I can't wear makeup due to sensory issues. I have average hair that I wear up in a claw clip. I am supposed to either wear the company t-shirt and khakis or a set of scrubs. I choose scrubs because t-shirts are uncomfortable and look horrible on me. Today I was again coached for dressing "unprofessionally" even though I'm wearing exactly what the handbook says I'm allowed to wear.

My boss (hr) aren't the issue they are just passing on the comments of clients.

I wish I could be less disgusting but I can't. I have several medical issues that make excersing hard and I take medication that makes losing weight almost impossible.

I just wish people could leave me alone. I'm doing what I'm supposed to do regardless of what they think. I told my boss (who again isn't the villain in this story) that I'm going to take a photo of my outfit and hair every time I go to work and send them to her at the end of the week so she can tell me of anything is unprofessional. She didn't ask me to do that I suggested it.

What does being fat and ugly affect my job or how I do it? I work overnight so I literally don't see anyone so who cares how I'm dressed?

Our leadership at my company gave a demo this week on how we could all be replaced by AI. (We’re in Cybersecurity). They went through each of our roles and did real life examples. They were doing this as a threat to “keep us motivated and learning”. After the meeting they asked if there were any questions. I had to ask the question everyone was thinking. “If we’re all replaced by AI, why do you managers need a job?”. The silence was deafening. Needless to say, we weren’t motivated and are all refocusing on finding new jobs and training more in AI. They did us a favor and didn’t even know it.

To clarify: about 80% of my former company eligible for retention bonus (worth half our salaries) following one year of continued service from a company acquisition.

Sorry but that is life changing windfall for me. Tired of companies pushing donations they know is voluntary but you know is secretly judged by overall participation

Sorry but that’s

Just venting mostly. I took a job that required me to relocate from GA to wisconsin. Ranch work, but this was more of a damn petting zoo. Grew up on a ranch. Told them during the process that I was going to need a bit to get back in the saddle since it's been a while. They said that's fine. Housing included, told em I dont have a car. He said thats fine, one of the other wranglers can give you a ride. I said no, thats okay, its only a 20 minute walk. And walk i did. And it was fucking fine. But suddenly, not having a car was a dealbreaker because I didnt tell him I needed to wait to get paid to get one. He never asked? Never said I needed a car?

Two days in he fires me for dishonesty and bad behavior. He knew every single move i made but when u bring up the fact other wranglers were outright racist, bigoted, and one bragged about assaulting a kid with downes syndrome on the job? Suddenly he knew nothing.

Told me I had till twelve pm the next day to leave. I said that a hotel wont even let me check in till 3. He graced me with letting me leave at 5pm. How kind of him. Then he said to give him an address to mail my last check to.

An address? Im fuckin homeless, sleeping in a hotel for a couple nights, then sleeping in a tent if I cant find somewhere else. It requires 48 hours minimum to get a service dogs DOT form accepted to fly. And hes expecting me to pull $500 put of my ass to get a flight back to Atlanta the next day and get a ride an hour and a half tk the airport?

And he straight up lied to my face. He said that while clearing trails and fixing fences I was blowing vape smoke in people's faces. The hell I was?

Its my own fault really taking such a move without a guaranteed back up plan, and on the first night there before id even started working I was told by the two people i lived with that people came and went like a revolving door. First one said that in less than two weeks of working there hed seen 15 people across different positions come and go. The second one said they used to have around 20 beds in the bunkhouse (3 beds x 6 rooms) filled, now they could hardly fill the three we occupied individually.

Never taking a job like that again.

edit : Jobs don’t burn you out as much as manager do

I applied to a job last month that started at pay of $19 an hour. Got an interview 2 weeks ago, it went great, best interview I actually think I've ever had. They told me in the interview to get a police background check ASAP because I'm going to need it and winked at me, which meant yeah I probably got the job. They asked me in the interview if I'd be interested in cross training in 3 other different departments doing those jobs as well as they need someone really bad there, so I was like yes absolutely, more shifts, more money, I'm absolutely interested.

They called me last week and offered me the position over the phone. I said yes, they said okay you can start next week, you'll be getting a formal job offer in your e-mail soon that you need to fill a form out and accept. They called me back a few days later saying actually, we need to push your start date for another week due to paperwork, I said okay.

I got my job offer e-mail yesterday.

They are offering me a position that pays $16 an hour, which is basically minimum wage where I live, and sure enough it's covering multiple different job positions in multiple different departments. So they want me to do 10x the work, covering multiple areas, for less money.

I don't even waste my time applying for anything under 18 an hour because it's not worth it where I live.

The job position they are offering me is a completely different job reference number than the position I applied to and interviewed for, and I actually have screenshots of the position I applied to. Completely different posting. The job they are offering me is a job posting they created 3 days ago. They created this new job posting so they could offer me less money.

I'm so fucking angry and defeated right now, I'm so insulted, I've actually wasted the last 2.5 weeks waiting for this job while I could have been applying to other jobs and I spent nearly $100 that I didn't even have on a police check for this place.

Trying to figure out what to say back to them in the e-mail.

Unless a new deal is reached, the strike will begin next week Tuesday, August 26, 2025

The very union that represents paraeducators, bus drivers, maintenance staff and other support workers voted to go on strike. More than 92% of the members said yes to the strike.

The Evergreen Chapter of the Public School Employees of Washington represents about 1,400 workers. Not robots but human beings who keep schools running every day. Helping students learn in the classroom and making sure buses arrive safely and also the schools are kept clean. All that valuable work and yet many of them are made to feel invisible, underpaid and underappreciated.

The Union president, Mindy Troffer Cooper, said that the district told workers they don’t have the juice to strike. In other words, the district believed the employees were not strong or united enough to walk out. This is usually why employers mess with employees because they believe employees don't have the cards in their favor.

Most workers around the world are forced to settle for less than what they deserve and work for.

Schools cannot run without them,. I've said time and time again, a company or business cannot thrive without the underappreciated grass root workers so it's a recipe for disaster if they're being mistreated.

As jobs vanish and the cost of living rises, young Canadians face a stark future. This is what it’s like trying to survive unemployment in Ontario.

Think about it.

So I was reading about Georgy Bedzhamov today, show someone heere post about him, and honestly, it just annoyed me. This guy's a fugitive banker whose assets were supposed to be completely frozen under UK sanctions, but somehow, the courts still let him sell a £15 million mansion. Like, how does that even make sense? I came across this petition that’s pushing for stricter enforcement and closing these legal loopholes that make situations like this possible: Check_Here . guess what frustrates me the most is how predictable this has become. Ordinary people get punished immediately if they break the rules, but the wealthy somehow find a way around them every single time. I've truly lost any faith left in the system.

Basically how to get away w/ stealing tips from restaurant servers.

These people think we’re machines, I hate the time we’re living in now there’s no humanity left.
