  • We used to have sector wide unions. So even if you were employed by a small business with a few employees, you were still covered by a larger union.

    I have family members who really appreciated the neck mounted fans that blow up at back of neck. relatively cheap at like 20-35.

    Might be worth getting a giant insulated water bottle to fill with ice, or bringing your own mini fridge and plugging it in somewhere. You could also try getting a Dr note saying you need accommodation - supply of ice water or cooling vests.


















  • Contest the performance review in writing. You can do it nicely, and factually. Put out a timeline with as factual of a tone that you can. But I would put it on the record and print the email and take it home with you and put in a safe place. Something like this can be used to justify a firing if not corrected.
    And yes I know what at will employment is, but putting on record also helps avoid this being used as a pretext for some other illegal firing (e.g., age, gender, race, union activity).
    Or someone talking shit about you to other companies - you can sue over that, but again, it helps if you have a record that supports it. Overall, though: yeah, fuck that company. Go somewhere that you’re valued and start finding a good reference at the place you’re at. Coworkers that you worked on projects with can work if you don’t have someone you reported to that’s honest.
