when I was 16 (19 now) I worked at a taco bell and they were working me 50 hours a week and obviously not paying me overtime because “its illegal” and “they'll put it on next week's check” even tho the next week id still be scheduled 50 hours. I ended up just quitting bc I was insanely overworked, but looking back I definitely should've gotten the law involved, but now I'm wondering if its too late to do exactly that. any advice?

Should I contact the DOL
My job violates two child labor laws in NY state. I am 14 so therefore I am protected under these laws and am not under any exemptions. Here is a link to the NY state child labor law from for 14-15 year olds: (https://sunyrockland.edu/wp-content/uploads/assets/about/hr/required-employer-postings/ny-employment-of-minors-poster-2014.pdf) Here is a image of my schedule for just this week. I am The lowest 5-10 on Monday. (https://share.icloud.com/photos/049flaG6nRPdzaYstIknHx4vw) I get paid through checks and a automated time stamp so it would be easy to prove that I worked these hours and on the days that I am saying I worked them.

I can’t afford the apartments I work at.
I’m a leasing consultsnr, not a real estate agent. Huge difference as leasing consultants make $15-$18 in my area with a crumb of commission. I work at a luxury apartment community (this is my third). I constantly get asked on tours if I live at the community. I used to give a long-winded response or a lie, but now I just say “no, I’m poor.” Our income requirement is 3x the rent in monthly gross income. I cannot afford an apartment, even with the “huge” 20% off discount my company offers. Genuinely, how hard would it be just to house those in the communities they work for because it’s beneficial for everyone? So annoying.

LinkedIn is the worst
Everyone is jerking everyone else off. Managers share inspirational messages just to go to work the next day and continue to be their toxic self. Someone posts that they farted and ten levels of management applaud it. People argue about whether or not HTML is a programming language while people in the world are starving. The whole thing just disgusts me.
This happened late last year. I used to work at an independent pharmacy as a pharmacy tech. In my contract, I was supposed to get $15/hr to start and then after three months it would become $16/hr (with no benefits at all). Three months passed and so I asked her for my raise. She dropped everything that she was doing and in front of everyone (co-workers and customers) she started yelling at me. She said things like “you're not even good enough for what you're being paid now” or “if you want that raise then you're going to have to work harder” and more bs like that. I should've quit right then and there but I really needed a job so I had no choice. Come next paycheck I see that she did give me the raise. I guess she realized that since it was in the contract she couldn't…
I'm only a high schooler, graduating next year. For the past year and a half I've applied online (and walked into businesses in person) for more positions than I could count, at almost any company within my range of transportation, because I need to start saving for my education, as I intend to study abroad. But I got ghosted by EVERY company and location I applied for. There is nothing wrong with my resume (I got it checked over by several of my high school teachers in desperation and it is flawless according to them), but I'd never get a response from ANYONE, aside from the ocasional automated rejection email 6 months later. I'm sick of this, I'm gonna need to work while I'm in college/uni, and when (if) I get my degree, what if I still keep getting ghosted? Wtf am I supposed to to? I'm just a high…
Engagement is a measure of how willing you are to donate your life to achieve your employer's shareholders gains in wealth. Please note, it has nothing to do with actually being paid more, being happier in your life and being able to spend more time doing what you desire rather than being able to pay your bills. Engagement is in the owner's interest, not yours: Employee engagement describes the level of enthusiasm and dedication a worker feels toward their job. Employee engagement can be critical to a company's success, given its links to job satisfaction and employee morale. Engaged employees are more likely to be productive and higher performing. Employers can foster employee engagement through effective communication, offering rewards, and discussing career advancement. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/e/employee-engagement.asp The happier you are at the grindstone, the more likely their profit increases.
So, I work at Chipotle. Just started and I've been contemplating quitting from what I see about Chipotle from this community but I've stayed for tuition reimbursement they have. But now, Chipotle can FUCK ALL THE WAY OFF. 1. If you work a shift, the food is free if you eat there but they charge 50%if you take the food home and 2. You can only get discounts at the Chipotle location you work at so I can't even go to another location that's closer to my home and get a discount. I offically quit. They make it seem like they're a great company w the “benefits” they have but will try to fuck you out of every single one on technicalities. I was told I would need to work 16hrs a week for 120 days to be able to qualify for tuition reimbursement ( this is what they advertise…
