Workplace
life
My experience as a dental assistant/receptionist was very good at the beginning with my first employer. But my employer decided to sell the office to a new Doctor he seem very nice talks about all the new things he wants to do new changes he wants to make i was happy he wanted to make changes and make everyone feel comfortable. After three months he change his attitude towards myself and my coworkers, he started with me telling me i wasn't doing my job right to which he told me he use to admire my work. Then he started with one of my coworker that he only wanted her to work one day a week but he waited till the end of the day to tell her that which was wrong he had no excuse to why she can only work one day a week then he gave her a check for that one day but she work the day before for four hours so she ask what about her four hours for yesterday he said he didn't t tell her to come he gave her a hard time he didnt want to pay her for the four hours and told her she is fired. It was a back and forth argument for about twenty minutes till he finally wrote her a check for the four hours then she ask can she have a letter stating she is not working there no more the Dr made a big deal and argue with her all over again. I felt so bad for her she been working in the office since it open twenty years with the Doctor that open the office and she never had a problem with him but here comes someone new wants to buy the office and offer to take all employees with the office and changes his mind. After only having the office for two weeks he wants terminate everyone and hire new employees he even stated he has five new possible interviews to hire new employess. I learn to not trust anyone when they say they need you then say they can replace you in a heart beat not all boss are horrible but mine is, i cant work with anyone that disrespect woman and thinks its ok like its 2022 we woman don't take disrespect, as human beings we should get respect to give respect. My manager was very shaky and nervous i taught she was going to have a heart attack because she have problem with her heart she had heart attacks in the pass. He even argue with the manger before and told her he only needs her two days a week she had to go outside and get some air to breath better. I had to call my old employer because things were getting out of hand and he said that the new Doctor haven't paid him yet for the office so he doesn't own the office as yet, he said he will call his lawyer right away because he made a agreement to keep all employees and he isn't keeping his word. So far i don't know what will happen to my job because we all depend on our job to survive we have bills to pay and our kids depend on us especially me as a single mother. If he knew he didn't wanted us he could have never agree with my employer before and could have gave everyone weeks notice to find another job. This has been a experience for myself because i depend on this job especially now that everything is going up high like food and rent.

Really, that happened?
I have been a Heating, Venting and Air Conditioning (HVAC) service technician for over twenty years, and am called out to five - ten homes a day. I have come across a variety of situations over the years, ranging from humorous to just plain weird. The following are those that stand out to me. Some of them may be hard to believe, but they all happened, and I have tried to record them here to the best of my memory. Hope you enjoy them!

I'm Gonna Need A Drink
Working in customer service is hard. You have to bite your tongue till it bleeds, and then keep quiet when it hurts. People think they can treat you like trash instead of human beings. Some of the worst come from the happy looking individuals. They deceive you with a pretty smile and bright demeanor. However, they are hiding weapons behind their back. The worst comes when we get hurt or frustrated and express it. Then they want to act like we are the problem. I try not to hate my life, but it is always there.

Why I Quit Driving a Truck
I drove a truck in the United States for over 20 years, during that time I learned a lot about the supply chain and why we are having so many problems today. One of the problems with our supply chain is a thing called (JIT) Just in Time delivery system. This is when a product is ready to be shipped from the manufacturer to the store, it has to go through several steps to get there. 1st it is loaded onto a truck and shipped to a warehouse, where it is unloaded and transferred to another truck to be shipped to a distribution center (DC), and then it is transferred to another truck before it finally arrives at your store.

What makes her vp
Lu Min studied engineering in university and has been working in the R&D department since joining the company. At first, the department manager practically ran her as a handyman: keeping equipment, taking minutes at meetings; When I worked overtime, I bought lunch boxes for everyone. Busy time, we are together to tackle key technical projects, but the manager asked Lu Min to clean the office. He obviously does not use lu Min as a technical staff, obviously look down on girls. Everyone persuaded Lu Min to report to the boss. She smiled and didn't say anything. She did the chores as usual, didn't relax, didn't get upset, and didn't match wits with her boss.

WWJD Karen
The day started like any other... I rolled over, checked my phone and stared. The date read June first, and to most that would hold very little significance. For me this day would be full of strangers, full of strange smells, berating me for things that were out of my control. Filled with dread my limbs turned to stone, and the urge to call in filled my bones.

I've Fallen And Can't Get Up!
As a rideshare driver, one of the most common questions I get asked is "What is the most interesting passenger you've ever had?" or perhaps "Tell me a story of the craziest rider you've had." Over my time as a driver, this list has grown and grown and grown, and I'd often joke that one day I'd make a book of these stories to which the response usually consisted of a gasp and a "You should!"
