I’m looking for a free app that helps keep track of staff shifts (not hours) also may have something if a shift opens up it all can be done in this app. Also have a to do list section would be helpful. Currently we are using a paper calendar and would like to stop using that. I would like staff to be able to access it while at home if needed, as staff sometimes forget which shift they are working. Any ideas? Thanks for the help.
Hello, I hope this is ok to post here. I am part of a group of researchers from the University of Westminster. We are looking to hear from UK based healthcare professionals on their opinions about yoga as a wellbeing intervention for the health and wellbeing of HCPs (no yoga knowledge or experience needed! All views welcome - positive and negative!) The survey is completely anonymous and it is hoped the results will inform ways in which to support healthcare worker wellbeing. You can participate using the following link:

All participation is very much appreciated.

Hey. First reddit post. I am new to having a salary position and noticed on my last check that I had 72 hours of pay with 8 hours of holiday pay. I inquired about it and was told that my hours always add up to 80. I'm just wondering if that's legit.
I am a government employee in a low management position (we have a senior manager and an associate director and a director above me). I oversee 4 part time employees. We work in a center that is run by another branch of government and because of this we have had some issues with the conflicting missions of our program with other programs in the same building resulting in rules that have been put into place that affect our ability to serve patrons. We have tried to voice our concerns about these rules and how it will affect our ability to carry out the mission. We have also voiced concerns about the fact that our job functions have changed pretty drastically since we started and signed on to perform certain duties.
Yesterday the part time staff came to me and told me they’re all thinking of quitting and they want to know if I’ll join them. They don’t feel comfortable telling management any higher than me. I’m on board with them and I agree with their reasoning more than anything the management has put into place but I don’t know my rights in a situation like this. I am also partially disabled so I’m not in a super good position to just quit, but principles are starting to take the forefront.
Here are my questions:
-What is my responsibility as a full time, salaried government employee in a management position to report this to HR or someone higher than me? (Please note that the last time I reported something to HR, I was reprimanded to the point where I thought I was going to lose my job. I was told never to report to HR again and that I needed to always report to my direct supervisor).
-Can I participate in this mass quitting/walkout without fear of never being hired by this municipality again?
-Should I continue to try every solution oriented approach like asking the management above me if they’d consider moving buildings if it meant serving the mission or should I cut my losses and give up?
-Does anyone know if any good resources or hotlines I could call to discuss this further?
Hello redditors After asking my boss for a raise, which is something that she brought up in the beginning, she started being distant with me to the point of not including me in meetings and talks. I started noticing this behavior after I asked for the raise and then I would get short worded answers and text / email replies. To the point of no contact for weeks. Is this some sort of retaliation or am I reading it wrong? Help
The root of the problem for leftists in the USA is not necessarily holding the correct beliefs, or even the lack of coordination of our movements. It is securing sources of capital and manpower to do those things. That is why integration into the new union movement is absolutely essential. Not only for our survival, but the propagation of our values among the proletariat. You can’t build a proletarian revolution out of free labor and pipe-dreams and the people with the most time to devote to the cause - the underemployed and unemployed - need a cash flow in order to do those things. Resources that are less dependent on the political machinery currently providing them with what they need to survive.
Last topic on this election, I swear.
It was really hard guys. I'm just a grocery store cashier. I had to campaign from the register, and talk to people about the issues that matter most to them while they were coming through to buy their lunch. I'm expecting to be doing more of that now that I'm a real bona fide steward.
The whole time I was counting votes and keeping track of my supporters. As someone who suffers from depression and anxiety strong enough to get me an FMLA designation, it was just exhausting and draining.
Our stewards didn't tell ANYONE about the option to absentee vote if you don't work the day of the election. So I had to do all the legwork, driving in votes. People were coming to ME and not the current union stewards to ask about how to vote.
It just means so much to me that people voted for me and supported me. I'm promising to do them proud, and to do them right.
Lastly, I want to thank people on this sub for the help and all the advice! You helped me get amped up and I'm grateful for that.
