Month: March 2022

First, I'm a 60 year old woman. I used to work at a burger place for $12/hr, 35hrs/wk. I quit 2 months ago to work at an overnight job at a chicken processing plant, $17.50/hr, 40+hours per week. The other day I went in to my old job for a burger, and everyone was telling me how short staffed they were and could use some help. I told them I was free Friday and Saturday nights for a few hours. They were thrilled. I started back tonight. I told everyone that I might be slow because I'd been gone for two months.

C'mon bro, think of the networking possibilities!” ​ Edit: Also yes, this is unpaid as well making it 10x worse.

So I was hired recently at a hotel chain and it was kinda a Chinese parade level of red flags in less than a week in but the three co workers I got to know first are super awesome and fun people. One of whom is a older black woman who usually worked at another property and was just filling in at the one we were at til I was fully trained. We were talking about hiring and she had been at the company a few months now..she said the initial post she applied for had an pay listed at 18 hr and then when she was hired they changed the listing and said the pay was 14. I got offered the 18 after I told them the only thing holding me back from accepting was the 14 on the job post I applied on and they came back with…

I dont want this to come across the wrong way but I see a whole lot of outrage and complaining in this sub which is necessary to get a fire light under people and get everyone motivated but what is the point of the anger isn't being directed and more often times than not this sub just seems like a place for people to release pent up anger rather and discuss real policy change and goals for us to meet and maybe most importantly how we can organize and reach those goals. Use this post as a place for (peaceful and civil) discussion of these topics and what you think are the best solutions and routes to take to better our society. Don't be scared to share no matter how unpopular your opinion might be.
