Month: March 2022

Good Afternoon & Happy Superbowl Weekend, As of today, my last day at MetaBank will be 02/25/2022. I plan to stay on to support the two major IRS funding drops & complete the Unfunded Tax Prep features. I’m leaving MetaBank to lead a team of talented software engineers as a Software Engineering Manager. The initial work will involve migrating legacy monolith systems over into scalable Azure cloud environments utilizing endpoints. My baseline salary will be $180,000 with 10% annual bonus based on performance, 401k 6% match, tuition reimbursement for continued higher education, a 37.5-hour work week, and numerous other benefits. The responsibilities I hold will be 1/6th in total of my current responsibilities here at MetaBank. In total, this will be more than a $100,000 increase from my current compensation at MetaBank for 1/6th of the stress. In my five years at MetaBank they have increased my salary by $14,000…

I get it, the world doesn’t work in our favor, nor does it care about you. But soooo many of you just complain and do nothing to try to change it. I hate the US and it’s capitalism. I’ve given up on changing that and focused on putting forth my effort towards altering international law rather than domestic law (which I find a fruitless effort). I want to help the Ukraine, Palestine, Syria, and by focusing on international law think I might be able to. Not saying I will, but I will try until I am stopped. I will work to the bones to try to change all of that of which I hate in this world, otherwise I’m merely complaining. Change is hard, but you gotta at least try right?

What can we the people do to change how work happens? What can we do to fight late-stage capitalism? I work a job that I have relatively little qualms with. I'm a hair stylist and I actually love what I do, but it's because I have good hours that I have control over, a clear roadmap of pay raises in my future, and kind and understanding bosses who do just as much work as the rest of us and foster an environment of learning and passion for our craft. But I didn't always have this and still keenly remember having the shit beaten out of me by the food service industry prior to taking up cosmetology. The long hours in hot kitchens, the burns, the repetitive strain injuries that I still suffer from, inflexible hours, no one ever being quite upfront about when I might get certain benefits. Sitting in…

How do you keep up the energy and motivation to keep applying for jobs when every time i let myself get excited and passionate for an application, make a nice cover letter, it is immediatly turned down without message if not ghosted. Its exhausting and yet there is no other way to improve ones situation. Labor shortage my ass

What is the most comprehensive review of the tenets of antiwork with respect to natural law or jurisprudence generally?

While employed in America, I was terminated in retaliation for reporting continuous harassment, bullying, and abuse of power from my superior. I was advised to pursue legal action and decided to file a lawsuit against my former employer. After retaining an American attorney, I was informed to continue my case against the company and receive counsel, I would have to provide phone records from an AT&T mobile number that I no longer utilise, or have access to, and haven’t for almost a year. Is there any possible way for me to retrieve these records? Please any and all advice!!!
