Apparently, no one else is able to approve it and my agency thinks I didn't work last week because this dipshit took a vacation and did not approve time sheets before heading out. Thanks a lot. Luckily, I am not starving and I have another job, but I am tempted to start applying elsewhere and once I get a better offer, let them know how disrespectful it is to play games with people's paychecks.

Equality is antithetical to capitalism
Even in the rosiest perception of capitalism, the employer is always in a superior position to the employee. Now, this relationship may leave the employee well-compensated, but the inequality is there regardless. Why is that? The main goal for anyone in a capitalist society is to be the employer of multiple employees whose labor you monetize for your greater profit and their lesser paycheck. However, turning a greater profit requires your employees to be in an inferior position to you. This is since two parties of equal standing negotiating in good faith can never come to an agreement which doesn't also benefit them equally. For example, I would never pay $1000 to a baker for a loaf of bread. However, if I was on the brink of starvation (a subservient position), I certainly would. The terms of the agreement hadn't changed, only our comparative standings. Under this principle, greater profits…

Is company loyalty even a thing anymore?
I have an opportunity to leave my job after two+ years of employment. The offer I have is from a company with stronger leadership, impressive tech, and much better funding. However, my current company has treated me well and I feel like I “owe” them more time. Not sure what it means to be loyal these days or if there is any benefit at all??
Question for the community, my boss walked by and asked if I have a Google account. When I asked why, he told me to go leave our store a 5 star rating because people are upset over the prices of our cars and leaving 1 stars. I work at a car dealership and we are having to mark up cars due to chip shortages. Can he really ask me to do so?
I am looking for inspiration. I mean “worst” for the company.
And i just too liberal socialist or is it true? Less time bosses having to walk around and watch workers everything is automated. Its proven people who work from home are more productive. Offices not having to waste energy to have power on. No having to stock break rooms with pizza. Companies should be begging to have work from home. Its the lifestyle they want for us anyway. Eat sleep and work all from home.
Today I got to work and tried using my employee number as I forgot my wallet with my card in it my foreman was very understanding he just had me sign a paper saying the time I came in and left and the lunch punches but I noticed at the bottom if I forgot a second time to use my card I would be charged 10$ is this legal?
We’re Not Getting Another Chance
If we're going to do something, we need to do it now. Companies are only getting richer, and they don't show any signs of stopping. I feel like our best bet in having any say is refusing to come back to the offices, due to how badly these companies need them. We have leverage, let's use it. Because otherwise there's no way they'll come to the negotiating table.
