If you think prostitutes aren’t earning their money, you must have a warped idea of what it is to be a prostitute. Try it out for one hour with someone you think is gross and now you have to act like you like everything you’re doing to them and they’re doing to you and make it convincing or you could get hurt or worse. They’ll make you earn that money.

In this case I’m sure it’s safe to assume the grievance isn’t with getting thought of as weak for taking their abuse, it’s having to deal with it in the first place

Nobody cares what a cow did. There's no cow scientific journals but jack jumping that stick?
That was in the record books for quite a while until nick jumped three

It’s just one of the many issues our ultra capitalist country has. Companies can get away with so much shit they shouldn’t be able to. Especially where there is no sense of honor, morals, or ethics if it involves any potential profit loss.

That must suck. Lucky again, as that sort of behaviour (the abuse and the dodgy business practices) is considered quite 'Un-Australian', and is usually, and quite frankly, called for what it is.

I tend to be a very kind and sharing person. This has led to numerous people treating me like shit and many many people telling me I need to be less kind. For me these people reveal themselves to be the kind of people I don’t need to associate myself with.

Anybody who sees kindness as weakness is living for a future that is bleak to say the least. If the opposite of kindness is strength, I’m not interested in that set of values. These days I’m even less interested in having the conversation. I’d rather just keep being kind and let whoever has their mind fucked enough to not believe in kindness, be. Everybody wants to justify their assholish behavior as just fighting for their whatever. Wht if we just took responsibility of the asshole things we did and tried to be better rather than focus on giving ourselves an out. Lets just stop the bullshit.

Companies like to hedge their bets on people not knowing those rights to execute them. They also like to throw out terms like “insubordination” or “failing job duties” to scare you.

But they cannot demand you do “unlawful” requests. And if someone is harassing you, belittling you, or otherwise treating you horrible. You have the right to shut down the interaction and refuse to help them further. You can suggest they find another person to help them or your manager can.

Most people also aren’t fully aware that the employer is usually very responsible for staff safety etc. too; it’s literally in their best interest not to have someone potentially get exposed to situation requiring counselling/compensation etc.

Definitely do. Companies don’t like explaining your rights to you. Even if it’s not in the training materials, you can look up workplace laws where you live. They might be included there.

The better educated you are on things, the harder it makes for them to fire you for it too. Even though the us is at will, they can’t fire you for just any reason. Otherwise you can take them to court and easily win. If it’s something about them firing you because you didn’t put your life at risk, that’s not going to go well for them.

I don't care how many times you say this, I'm not doing it. Buy a TV for god's sake.

That’s interesting, I’ll have to look at the employee handbook

That’s how it is for me right now, my job said if it ever picks up in my city, they’ll hire more people and I’ll be in charge of the team. Hopefully I can pass that on so people don’t have to keep learning that you have to let people yell at you.

I mean it's been over 2000 years

Most places have this. They just don’t tell you. If you look through your training materials they will have in there that you have rights to deny service based on if you feel unsafe.

I have done so, managers have tried to say I can’t, I show them the training where it says so.

You don’t ever have to let people walk all over you in the name of customer service. Hold your ground and give yourself the respect you should.

Ok…I’m on mobile and the phone takes over the word I write sometimes, sorry I didn’t proof read it for you.

That’s true, I use to work retail n it was bad. I couldn’t imagine doing food service while people are hangry.

No one knows the exact date.
