Can we please at least do the most basic research and source checking on this sub before posting? It's not difficult and our cause is only diluted by using outrage bait.

This god-forsaken country (USA, not a rough guess) is literally built on slave labor for the sole purpose of building you up only to throw you in the fucking garbage in a day's timeline. Context: I live in KY and was working as a health concierge for Ascend Medical, a startup based in Georgia, I answered phones and made appointments for patients, signed them up for memberships etc. I made $20 an hour which is really good money for the poor area I live in. I was paying two houses worth of bills (Disabled stepbrothers with dead parents, it's a thing) but I was living sorta comfortably, I enjoyed my very stressless job and man I had HOPE for the first time in so long I had forgotten what it felt like. In fact this lasted all the way until the 1st of March this year (literally 4 days before…

I’m sure this will never make it out of New, but wanted to share this in case it helps anyone else. I started at a smaller company (50 people) in 2010 as customer service and worked my way up to a Director position. Worked my butt off to keep the company successful and growing from single digit millions to over 50+ mil in business. I got small bonuses and raises but never proportionate to what I was able to do for the company’s bottom line, but I figured that was just the way it went. After seeing my department go from 4 people to just me at the start of the pandemic, I knew it would be ‘lean’ for a couple years and knew I would be in the shit. I worked my butt off again and we got to the point where I was able to add another person…

Long story short, I go barefoot almost every where ago for the health of my feet and back, and for the past 9 years, I've taught shoeless in the classroom. New VP comes in and decides it needs to come to an end. I contact HR and after a bit of runaround – the lady didn't want to answer my question if I can go shoeless in the classroom if I'm in pain, instead she kept offering me medical advice, she finally admitted in an email, “There is no policy, but it is professional expectation that you wear your shoes.” I end up getting a doctor's note as well just to cover my ass even more so. I searched up our district policies and I can't find anything that would specifically be against taking off my shoes in the classroom. I also want to have my students do so as…

Just quit my job. Don’t want to work for “the man” anymore.

Hi. I live in a nj suburb. I do not have a driver's license yet and am considering taking a job in another suburb in nj. I would likely need to go into the office about 3 days a week. Would it be insane to take car service back and forth to work like this? All of the other interviews I've had have been with companies who are in the city so I'd use public transportation. However.. this opportunity in the suburbs is much better. ETA: 25 miles each way. In the morning, get to work by 830. Leave around 530 or 6. Let me know what other details would be helpful.
