Some people don't even know what rights they have. That's why it's so easy to take away and deny them.
OMG, yes.... The amount of people I've heard bitch about work-related stuff that's actually not allowed is insane. Everyone has this fucking brain damage that makes them think their boss is "the king of the company" and can arbitrarily fire anybody for no reason. The worst part is when you inform them that they can refuse (or whatever) and if there are consequences they can sue or contact the government, they just act all wimpy and uncomfortable, like they require themselves to be devalued. I've seriously stopped talking to people because they just bitch about things they can fix but make no attempt to do so, over and over and over. It's super annoying. I mean, if they aren't willing to confront the problem, that's fine, but stop crying to me about it.
In a number of states in the US, you can be fired for nor real reason. ---
Fall down, go boom... Life is like a box of chocolates. Most of it is crap.
