    It sounds like because there’s a shitload of distrust for workplace managers and HR departments, some workers are being very reserved about what they tell their bosses.

    If bosses are going to presume you’re lazy for taking breaks and using PTO, it might be better to offer a less triggering explanation.

    Very much like if a website refuses to serve Firefox or VPNs, it might be useful to hide your website and VPN use.

      My boss after approving my time off: So what you gonna do with your time off?

      Me: rest.

      Boss: going anywhere?

      Me: I’m gonna rest.

      Boss: ohh you gotta do something fun.

      Me: I am, resting.

      I’m not telling you shit you weird fuck, plus you dont pay me enough to go on holiday so imma take advantage of not having to be here by resting my over worked body.

          I work retail, my bosses like to think they own us out of work, he does not like it when I tell him I consider myself unemployed when I’m not actively being paid by the company.

          I added every normal contact to my white list and put my phone on do not disturb when I’m living my actual life, anyone I actually want to talk to can contact me and I already ignore private numbers or numbers not in my contacts, sonthey can’t try and trick me.

          I work my contract and only my contract.
