I currently work a wage slave job at a billion dollar corporation that has had profits 10x over the last year. It's really depressing seeing them raise prices, making my hourly wage go from being able to buy so much of that product to even less. I wouldn't mind working at this company if they didn't cap the pay and had scheduled raises to keep me going, In reality, before I started that job I was a line cook and I really unlocked my passion of cooking. What I really want to do is have my own garden to use in my own restaurant. A big thing that I want to focus on is maintaining a price that is affordable for all. Ideally I would be able to run everything myself or maximum a couple employees, where overhead is low. It's not about gouging profits, but enjoying my passion. I'm…

A year ago I asked my job if they could give me a regular schedule because working different hours every week was fucking with my mental health. They then started scheduling me ONLY on Sundays for 4 hours at a time, which at the time was understandable, my aforementioned mental health was a struggle the first year I worked there, and because of the irregular hours I missed a share of shifts. But for the last year and a half, I have missed one shift because my car broke down. About 5 months ago, I asked if I could finally get more regular shifts in the week, to which they said, yes! But because it was winter, they didn't have many hours to give me. Which was completely bullshit. One of my shift managers ALWAYS managed to get me half a week of work when she was on (she was…

Literally look at the lists people give to help burnout. Take time off, take a year off, get a therapist- basically a bunch of shit people can't afford to do. The root of the problem is the jobs and the fact that we need to give up 60 hours of our week to a job to even survive when the solution is to pay people better and allow them to work less.

See my last post in here for background. Does anyone have any advice / experience on how to create a friendlier environment for employees? Obviously I am talking individually to everyone on my team to see how I can better myself. But I am looking to see if anyone here as experiences in changing their management style? Or has observed a manager or boss change their style for the better.

I read the job ads and make it sound like you’re a slave to the company. I just discovered that they are using the phrases “ fault finders “ and “ clock watchers. “ Wtf? Are they just making up terms now? They just want someone who bows to them and they are always for the lowest paying jobs too where they have the highest fucking attitudes. When I look at more high paying STEM Jobs or finance ones on the corporate website they seem to be more professionally written

When I accepted my job, gas was around $2.00. I’m making 50k in the city and can’t afford it without my parents help anymore. Obviously it isn’t just gas that’s contributing to it but it does affect everything. Companies are not required to pay out but shouldn’t we pressure them? I went to my boss yesterday and told him if he could give me a little bit of commute money it would be so helpful considering half the office is allowed to wfh. He said that the company was really traditional and wouldn’t normally do that but he would ask for me. Haven’t heard back. What’s your thoughts? How do we come up with a solution.
