I taped my key to my doctors note and quit. I’m literally still sick, no way would I be able to find coverage for every shift between now and then.

@caseysgeneralstore.bsky.social also why don’t you train your managers to actually communicate with new employees what days/shifts they’re being hired for?? I only found out I was hired for EVERY weekend over a month into my employment. WACK AF

@caseysgeneralstore.bsky.social right now all I should be focused on is getting myself and now my 6YO daughter into good health but I’m laying here with a splitting sinus migraine worried about finding coverage for my double shift tomorrow, or even how I’m going to navigate work safely while fevery

@caseysgeneralstore.bsky.social never mind that it’s apparently okay to blast employee wrongs in the work group chat. Not naming names doesn’t make that alright. Very unprofessional imo and I’m a ZILLENIAL.

@caseysgeneralstore.bsky.social also your break policies going with state law is jacked up. You really “care” about your employees, huh? Sooooo family friendly, indeed. Quintessential midwestern politeness right there. Fake front and slimy inside.

@caseysgeneralstore.bsky.social like I’ve been battling sickness and fevers for days but if I can’t find my own replacement I’m fucked?? Gonna work an 8.25 shift with virtually NO breaks like this?? 🤔

@caseysgeneralstore.bsky.social why don’t yall like your employees or treat them like human beings at the end of the day? 🤔 legitimately sad that working at WALMART they treated us better regarding illness and calling out.

Analyzing tropes and teaching the public to recognize to them is such an important project.

Paolo Papotti @papotti.bsky.social · Jan 23

Tropes, such as "Hidden Motives", are recurring narrative elements used to evoke familiar patterns in communication

Our #COLING paper uncovers that tropes are used in 37% of the social posts debating immigration and vaccination

[email protected] is the bitches for snitches email (The email where fed employees are to report on colleagues who who are somehow paying too much attention to diversity or any DEIA stuff).

It would be a tragedy if this email was overwhelmed with emails that rendered it useless, eh?

These emails, sent across agencies, compel all federal employees to snitch on any colleague whose work might have some vague DEIA inflection. Those who refuse to snitch will be disciplined.

Seems designed to put all workers who aren’t white men under a cloud of suspicion. Truly vile stuff.

The acting director of the Office of Personnel Management (the feds' H.R. department) is telling federal employees to rat out their DEIA (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility) colleagues by emailing "[email protected]."
