I am obviously biased since BMPs actually still serve in Polish Army, so there's that. :P

Is... sleeping with a coworker something you get fired for? Assuming you are both adults?
"Professional work enviroment", proably.

Someone is trying to get me fired by insinuating that I'm sleeping with a coworker. I'm furious.

Well, I mean, I'm her boss. So yes, because apparently adults can't be reasonable and keep our personal lives separate from our work lives to avoid favoritism. This is despite the fact that I have literally zero control over any of the things she does at work, like her hours or pay, so it wouldn't mean a damn even if I did favor her over others.

Well I assume you have some proof that you don't, I guess?

Hm I really want to respond to that but probably shouldn't
So I guess I did, but hopefully in a way that lets the topic get dropped (:

Almost had the last straw and walked out of my own job today. The two girls who were pricing were making unpleasant comments about me right in front of me, as if they didn't see me despite one of them looking directly at me when she said it. I am not going to tolerate that kind of disrespect. I've already had enough of nearly all my coworkers being completely unable to do their jobs properly as it is.

What timeline?!
Obviously the one where Bill cosby is a…
The one where batterys suck and Elon musk isnt a cologne mogul
The same timeline where Celebritys and lies hold more substance any truth could ever hope to.
The same one where the country of Taured never exisited!
I could go on but you wont believe me without photoshopped pictures.
Then I will show you real photos and all of a sudden its a fake.
So just go on with your reflected reality and life like normal citizens.

Of course. I know.
But he's gotta defend himself somehow.

edit:
Now that I think about it.. My dad was in a similar situation once.
The solution? He simply fired the one spreading the rumor.
Something about spreading false rumors, with ill intent ruining workplace atmosphere or something.
And as far as I know, that was the end of that.
This was in Greenland though, not sure how it would work wherever Maximum lives.

It's fairly doubtful MZ has much/any control over hiring and firing. Boss in this case probably means supervisor more than anything more substantial.

My college tuition payment went through early this month. We are now overdrawn and I cannot go to class because we can't buy gas for the car.

Not really no. Another check supposed to go through soon, so I guess were just going to wait. Nowhere to go besides work and class, we can all get away with it. My father opted not to ask his employers to send it sooner because by the time they processed the request it would already have gone through. I'm also not asking the college to refund it and wait a week for the same reason. The speed of bureaucracy. Ahead of the game when they want your money, 3-5 business days to even conceive of actually getting any work done.
