I work in a residential home setting that requires staffing 24/7, so I expect to work some holidays and late night shifts etc. and have no issue doing so - in fact I volunteered to work every holiday this year - I’m not big on holidays in the first place and I like having the leverage of being all above-and-beyond when I decide to take time off in the future.

My irritation is moreso around the fact that I was originally scheduled to work Christmas Day, a 12 hour shift with a significant pay differential, but they took me off the schedule mid-week and I was told they “found other coverage” and they “were glad to be able to” give me the day off.

Under previous employment, if a holiday falls on a day you’re typically scheduled to work but the demands of the job don’t require full staffing, you get paid for a full shift at your regular rate to make up for not having those regular hours scheduled. That is how I have understood holiday pay to work.

By not scheduling my regular hours for 12/26 then, they’ve disqualified me from being able to collect holiday pay for 12/25, and I am now unexpectedly out 21/40 hours for the week. I accept that it’s my responsibility to know the policies of the agency but damn, it just would have been appreciated to at least be given a heads up. I’m only four months in to working with this agency and I gotta say this feels pretty slimy. Unfortunately I signed a one year contract. Even more unfortunate, it’s not as though I am going to find another position with a better agency - this is just the state of this field.

Dana is having an issue at work and I'm wondering if it falls under harassement or office bullying.

Dana has two childhood friends who are male that she goes out with frequently. Sometimes I go. Sometimes I don't. They're her childhood friends.

Some f*cking man child at work who is not her boss but a manager at the property she freelances at has been busting her chops for the past year about how he woudl never let his wife have guy friends. That guys can't be friends with women because we ALL know what THEY want. Yadda yadda small dick energy sh*t...

Dana thought it was funny at first, even got me involved on the phone once. She puts me on speaker and tells me to tell this man child what I think about her having male friends for 30 years. I said "anybody who sees a problem with that needs to grow the f*ck up."

I haven't thought about it in a while.

Yesterday Dana was upset so I pryed a little bit and she told me this f*cking c*nt came up to her and said he saw an article in the paper that made him think about her. This was the article.

1. It's the f*cking New York Post. It's the lowest of the low as far as newspapers go.

2. He basically just told my wife she's sh*t.

That is demoralizing as f*ck. That is harassment right? I'm ready to drive into the office and cave in the pricks nose. She obviously doesn't believe that sh*t but she's having anxiety that it's going around the office that Dana is galavanting around with other men. It's bothering her.

I'm livid.

For what it's worth, Exo, I'm the king of opposite sex platonic friendships. I've had so many girl friends in that regard it's hard to count. It's just a matter of separating yourself from her married life, so to speak. I too, have a close friend that dates back to childhood and I get along with her husband very well.

Anyway, as far as this excuse of a human being goes, maybe you can go to her workplace (with her permission of course) and let it be known that her having male platonic friends is just this manager's hangup. I'm assuming this jerk is a fundamentalist Christian type so maybe he can be reminded that it's not a good idea to judge, lest ye be judged, you get the idea.

In any event, she shouldn't let it get to her. Worst comes to worst she can always report the lowlife.

My wife has a very hard time not letting things like this affect her. I'm a very "f*ck you" type of person but Dana is so sweet and emotional that things like this really make her upset.

Maybe you can doxx him (or if not, deck him)? Try to see if you can embarrass him online - I'm old, I don't know how it's done but I'm sure it can be. or else go for the nuclear option and go there and have it out with him, explain it's none of his ****ing business what your wife does on her own time. Maybe ask to see HIS boss, say you have a complaint? Basically, one way or the other, it's my opinion you should **** him up. People like him shut the **** up when they're made look small and stupid. Sorry for Dana having to go through this **** in 2023. ****.

1. Threaten a visit to HR if he makes any more comments.
2. Threaten a visit from you if he even looks at her the wrong way.

**** that ****. If things get real bad buy me a plane ticket and Ill take care of it for you.

I'm old and just don't give a **** about repercussions anymore.

Yeah that's a definite HR issue. I'm willing to bet this is the tip of the iceberg for him and there's other women there with stories, especially women who do work directly under him. Get that bitch fired. People like him need to not have any power over others.
