Just curious what has to be done was a 1099 but treated like an employee that should have been W2. Required to be forced dispatched meaning can’t choose loads. Work certain open ended hours that was not in contract. Employer paid for maintenance fuel and what not of truck I was just contracted to drive. Was treated like an employee at a large fleet that would have been W2

Why pay an employee a bounty to recruit cheap labor otherwise?

Imagine working at a car wash in the freezing cold, high winds and blizzards, consistently coming home with chemicals soaked through your clothes and into your skin for under $15 an hour. The one sort of nice benefit is being able to wash your own car at a discount (not free). Under new ownership, Royal Car Wash employees now have to pay full price just to wash their own cars-if they can afford cars. What would be the purpose of changing a policy like this, one that will save this company hardly any money?

Hi, I've been working for this company around 4 years, moved from IT to DevOps, but am underperforming (wasn't the case before moving teams). So they put me on a PIP. I don't like working for this new team, wasn't given proper training and I just can't bring myself to do the work. At this point, I am 4 weeks into the PIP and not meeting the targets. Company is not that bad. Resign now (without a backup plan, only some interviews lined up), or wait until they fire me at the end of the PIP?

Apparently Employee Appreciation Day falls on the first Friday of March. My company made sure to excitedly announce their appreciation with a generous offering of a gift card, a house plant, and – the thing we all strive for – a pizza lunch. So to share in celebration of this glorious holiday I ask: How are your corporate overlords showing their appreciation for you?
