I will not be posting the video or image of this animal cruelty because it's upsetting.

However, in July 2015, Jenelle posted a video online of Jax where she lit a firework and had him play fetch with it. He was biting at it.

This Bitch then had the audacity to double down and defend her actions saying it was something funny you would see "on America's Funniest Home Video's".

I seriously forgot all about it until last night when all the dogs in my neighborhood were in a panic over just hearing fireworks.

She needs all pets taken off her.

All of us that are forced to use Giant Eagle pharmacy due to insurance, what happens now? I can't fill my medication anywhere else.

Does anyone else know if this affects us?

I am at the front desk of a very large hospital. I operate a switchboard with 8 lines and most of the time I'm bouncing between the telephone lines with people on soft holds while trying to transfer between the lines to make sure I don't do a cold transfer.

My biggest pet peeve about this job has to be when my coworkers blast past the desk and say "Have you seen Joe?". Then someone else says "Did you see which way Jennifer went?" When I say I don't know which direction their coworker went, it's usually followed up with something like "Is she here today?" or "Are they outside smoking?".

These are people who don't bother to say "Hello" any other time and consider us "secretaries".

This is for a position at their hospital. They told me it has to be done in their facility by their doctor today. I was not notified of any physical before hire and my only question is this..

I am in Pennsylvania and have been fired from MANY jobs due to requesting reasonable accommodation for epilepsy. I will have partial seizures where I need to take a minute or two to step away from the front desk. I no longer disclose the seizure disorder because every employer approves the accommodation and then finds a way to get rid of me for "performance".

I can never prove they fire me for Epilepsy but I know it's because they consider me a liability who will have a full blown tonic clonic and hit my head (I haven't for 9 years).

For the physical today, they want a list of all medications. I am on a very high dose of anti-seizure medicine. Should I just lie?

Thanks

Small office. Since I am the only one who doesn't smoke, everyone goes outside for two 15-minute breaks a day and tells me to "cover the phones" so I "can't come out with them".

​

I have worked here for three weeks and while they are outside on the first break, the office staff calls and orders lunch. They all order lunch without asking me. We eat lunch at the same time but I've started just eating alone in my car since it's unpaid and I can be alone.

​

The same thing happens in the afternoon when they take another 15 minute break and tell me to sit in the office and "cover the phones".

​

Last Friday, they asked what I was doing for lunch and I thought they were asking to invite me. I said I may go to Wendy's. My co-worker had the nerve to hand me her debit card with an order. Then, she called all the other women without asking me and they also handed me their debit cards with separate orders.

​

One of the women told me "I don't have my card on me just pay for it and I will pay you back later.".

​

I spent my 30 minute break in Wendy's ordering and splitting 5 different orders between 5 different cards. The thanks? One woman told me "did you steal my condiments?".

​

The woman with no card paid me back 3 days later.

​

I am getting really fed up and feel like I'm in high school with 50 year old women. Should I just quit? It's affecting my mental health.

​

​

For context, my cousin is going through a divorce after 3 years of marriage. The divorce is not final. Her husband was severely abusive and I have proof through videos and photos that she documented for police. My cousin and I are close and both in our 40's.

​

My close friend is very gullible when it comes to men. She is a virgin and has only been in one serious relationship her whole life at age 50. Sadly, she has been trying online dating in our small town where everyone seems to put on a front and of course, she found the man my cousin is divorcing.

​

I immediately warned her that he is abusive and I have witnessed him verbally abuse my cousin. I have seen him raise a fist to her on MANY occasions, especially when drinking.

​

Every time I try to speak up about any of this, my friend tells me she will just "wait it out and see" and that "he will be different with her". Just this weekend, my friend all the sudden "fell" and now has a broken arm out of nowhere. She was with him.

​

I am about to stop talking to her for my own sanity but I'm really afraid for her and she lives alone. Help?

This has already been reported by other employees at work and nothing has been done.

​

I just started working a front desk receptionist position at a hospital. There is an employee who works in the kitchen. He was seriously injured recently and has been placed at a position of "greeter" where he sits at the main entrance and greets visitors. However, he knows his injury was due to negligence by the kitchen staff and he has the upper hand.

​

He uses this to his advantage and spends the day walking around the hospital bothering women. Since I am the receptionist, he spends A LOT of his time at my desk. So far he his direct statements have included;

​

"Your eyes are absolutely gorgeous.".

"Are you married?"

"Do you have any children?"

"How old are you?"

"Can you give me a ride home after work?" (No).

​

This was all the first day we met.

​

He then handed me his phone number and told me "text me from your cell phone if someone comes in that looks suspicious.". I didn't and he's not getting my phone number.

​

I specifically said "I do not have time to talk to you" and "I am extremely busy please leave me alone."

​

I am brand new at my position and just started. He followed me out to my car that same day and asked for a ride home to which I said "no" and kept walking.

​

I found out the next day he asks women at the hospital for rides home every single day. I do not want him in my car. I also don't want him around the front desk anymore but am not allowed to leave the desk as it's the main switchboard.

​

Should I bother with HR? Or will they just tell me some BS about how it's my own responsibility to tell him to leave me alone?

​

​

I work in healthcare and this is insanely strict.

​

During orientation, we were told on day one if we had any doctor's appointments coming up within the next 90 days to just leave now and that we would be fired due to the "time clock". You see, the "time clock" won't let us have those days off. We are new hires and have to wait 90 days until our probationary period is done.

​

One girl said she had a serious appointment coming up and can't miss it. She didn't want to say what it was for but she has children and it was for a child and no one else could take them. Of course, HR started arguing with her and said "you don't have any aunts or uncles?". They told her she will be terminated.

​

So, day one she left and had to quit. This was a CNA.

​

I have a doctor's appointment coming up but will cancel it I guess. It is for a chronic medical condition. However, all requests for any time off must go through their Dayforce app and must be approved or you will be immediately terminated if you take it off without a replacement to work. This company currently has 10 open positions on Indeed.

​

If you work through lunch (everyone because we are short staffed), it deducts 30 minutes anyway. We are working through lunch ON the clock so they don't get sued if we get hurt.

​

This is why no one wants to work in healthcare my friends.

I went to school years ago to become a Certified Medical Assistant and left after being bullied relentlessly by the staff at a hospital I worked at.

​

After 5 years, I can't find anything in my city (think the largest provider of medical personnel in the US) and I have to go back. I started work this week and the environment is so bad.

​

The nurses scream and swear at each other in the hallways. They have nearly got into fist fights. They do not care about patients at all and leave them with their call buttons on screaming in pain for HOURS.

​

When I tried to introduce myself to any nurses, they walked away. Since I have been here a few days, some have started trying to offload their work and patients on to me and tried to get me to do things I'm not certified to do jeopardizing my license.

​

If I stand up to them and tell them no, I am called "Bitch" or worse.

​

This toxic field is so despicable and it is like this at every single hospital I have worked at (3).

I completely cut contact at Christmas when mom and dad brought up comments about how I raise my daughter.

They were both extremely abusive during my childhood down to hitting and I even had to go to the hospital once because my dad broke my wrist.

My father commented on how I am a "drill sergeant" in how I raise my teenage daughter. He said this in front of her. He is in his 70's and declining in health.

I told him and my mother both that was the last time they will see me and cut them off blocking both their numbers. On Mother's Day, my dad put a gift card in my mailbox while I was at work with a Mother's Day card.

There is and will not be any formal apology. He just wants to go on as if nothing happened. I am 46 years old and do not need him in my life.

He has started to dig his claws into my daughter and puts down my parenting in front of her as a means to discredit me to control her. He knows since he cant control me anymore, he will try to control her.

He will be sorry in the end as he's the one who will end up alone.

Location: Pennsylvania This is not the locked memory unit side where they both belong. These two individuals both have been diagnosed with Dementia but the facility keeps them on the AL side because the memory care unit is full.

I am at the front desk on weekends but also need to walk to the back when visitors arrive. Sometimes, I am entirely in the back of the building showing families where their loved ones are located. This was the case yesterday.

While I was doing this, an elderly woman with Dementia walked right out the front door and down the parking lot before a person from another family found her.

This is not the first time it's happened. Any time I am not at the front desk or when I get up to use the restroom, I am running to the door to bring her back in.

The Director of Nursing knows. The Director of the facility knows. They also have an older man who does the same thing when I walk away from the desk at all. The family members and head nurse all blame ME staying that if anything happens to either one of them, I am legally responsible and can "be sued".

Is this true?

I told him and my Nmom at Christmas they were both cut off with examples as to why. They are not allowed in my life due to childhood abuse, not taking accountability for childhood abuse, re-telling stories of abuse as "fun entertainment" during family gatherings, and I am blocking both of them so do not bother. I explained this and they aren't deaf.

Nmom tried to contact me on my birthday. I blocked the second number she used (February).

In March, Ndad sent flying monkeys and had distant relatives contact me. My aunt and uncle texted out of nowhere to tell me I need to "hurry up and call mom" because they can't get ahold of her. I told aunt and uncle to call my dad because she lives with my dad, aka her husband. I blocked them also.

I am in a relationship and they have started harassing my boyfriend asking why I won't answer. They texted him so much he blocked them also. This is when I tried to get a restraining order and was denied in April. The court only considers domestic violence a factor for RO.

Now that it is Mother's Day, my dad has sent a rambling email about how he's "so worried for my well being" and "are you ok I am going to stop over there and check".

I told Ndad in the email back that I am working 7 days a week (true), do not come here to my house. Do not contact me again.

I printed out the email for police if I need to call them. One copy in my car, one by the door at home.

My dad wrote back and said "Anything at all that you need, please just tell me because your mom wants to see you. If you're working 7 days a week, just try to meet us at work.".

Jesus God. I didn't reply and blocked the email which goes to "spam" in Gmail.

I fully 100% expect them both to show up at my workplace. I expect to be harassed there soon.

I am completely lost. Has anyone else had to deal with this and what did you do? Also, my Ndad's mother had dementia and died at his age and he seems to be getting angry/aggressive at age 80. Thanks.

I have Dyscalculia. I was diagnosed at age 7 and have never been able to do basic math in my head. I have absolutely no ability to do any math at all which is why I have always taken jobs that require zero cash handling.

I am currently working as a customer service rep in person and on the phone for a small business. The business is family owned and very "snobby" with a bunch of people who gossip and make fun of customers. Not my favorite place and they do not know my diagnosis.

For Mother's Day they are having a very large brunch with ALL of their clients. Since I work the front desk, they put me in charge of a raffle for gift baskets. This morning I was informed I would be given a "large bag of money" and expected to keep count of all the cash while selling tickets to their clients for a raffle. Basically, my worst nightmare with on the fly mathematics in my head. People handing me $50 bills for increments in raffle tickets and staring at me while I fumble for change.

My boss still expects me to answer the phone and take all business related calls during this time so I will also be following their protocol of "never place anyone on hold".

It doesn't sound like anything to the average person, but I can not do this math in my head. Also, the person in charge wants to keep a separate pile of "change" available in perfect increments. This is an accountant.

I'm already having a meltdown because every time I've disclosed this disability to an employer, I am fired. Thoughts?

I told my father at age 45 I will not be speaking to Nmom ever again and he agreed as to why. She is not well and has crossed many lines.

However, even though he acknowledges this, he keeps asking (begging) me to just "give her one more chance" and tells me to come out to eat with them. I know if I do, it will just end the same.

I explicitly state every time I absolutely will not go anywhere she is present. I said no to this 4 times since Christmas.

Yesterday, he pushed it again through text message wording it as a favor as "taking me out to eat". He thinks this is convincing. I don't understand how else to reply to him other than to be an absolute jerk and say something along the lines of "Look, if you don't stop asking I'm going to cut you out too and your attempts to reunite me with Nmom are pathetic.".

He tries to bribe me with free meals and I'm fed up. Thoughts?

I am working a new position on weekends only at a church. I really need the extra income. This church just fired their last Administrative Assistant for being "extremely rude" to visitors and a few of these people left the church permanently. Fired by the Pastor.

Apparently, this woman is still allowed to come in and play the piano every Sunday. I was not informed of this at all and have been at my position for a month.

When I came in to work at the church, my office was entirely unlocked this past weekend with the door open. I found strange because I know I locked it. My name was removed from the door.

I walked in and this woman was sitting at my desk. She immediately handed me a paper and told me I need to work on updating all addresses of everyone in the congregation since it hasn't been done in years.

I hadn't even put my purse down yet and asked her who she was. She told me her first name and rushed past me. When I looked at my office, she had moved all my items and placed her music books everywhere even though she was only there for 4 hours that morning.

I immediately called my boss who informed me she was fired and absolutely should not be in that office at all. She should not be giving me any direction and is not in charge. However, my boss will not be there on weekends and this lady is allowed to volunteer every Sunday so this will be an ongoing issue for me. My boss told me exact words "there is nothing I can do about it".

After I hung up with my boss, this woman was still sitting in my office so I sat in the long entry way. Every time someone would come in, I would greet them and she would come out of my office and say "How can I help you?" And "Don't listen to her she's just a greeter I'm the Administrator".

She will be doing this every Sunday as she was fired and has a personal vendetta.

I have no idea what to do with this situation and will fall behind on my work if she keeps interfering. Help?
