What is a good direction to point someone looking to find a lender?

Hey all – First-time poster, long-time lurker. I’m a middle manager at a tech company (not FAANG). I am trying to do my best so I can to treat my team well, look after their mental health, and respect their boundaries. I know a lot of MMs get hate on here, and perhaps for good reason. I figured I’d ask this group what their best managers have done to/for them so that any MMs like myself here can learn from your experiences and adopt some ideas that have had positive effects of your lives. As long as we’re in this capitalist hell machine together, I might as well leverage the microscopic bit of authority I have for the better, right? And if this isn’t the best/right sub for that please let me know! I personally find that hearing what has made someone feel valued and appreciated in the workplace is…

Hello, I quit a job at this flower shop/ greenhouse a few months ago for a number of reasons; one being because I felt some of the working conditions were dangerous. Nobody else seemed concerned, and whenever I brought up issues it was quickly dismissed. This was my first “real job” (I previously just went to peoples houses and babysat), are these common and where can I avoid stuff like this? I don't want to deal with it now that I'm looking for another “real job”. I would fill water tubes with a bleach/water mixture and I was never told that bleach was in it and was never given gloves despite having to put my hand into the mix. (Idk how strong the mix was but I could smell the bleach through my mask and I was only informed after I asked if bleach was in the water.) There was…

~sigh~ My job is fucking horrible. Overtime is unpaid simple because I’m “lower management”. I have worked 36hrs before with not so much as a “thank you” And while that alone is horrible, I never complained cause I actually like doing what I do. I have now been assigned to a team from HELL. Where I am expected to pick up all of their slack simply because I’ve proven myself to be competent in the past. The extra workload and stress related is beginning to negatively affect my body physically as well as my mental health. I no longer love what I do. The team from hell and senior management ignoring all the issues because their work was being completed has killed my passion. Searching for another job within that pay scale or higher is proving challenging. Beginning to feel like it would be better to just quit and suffer…

I just recently found the salary for everyone in my hospital from 2020. It's disgusting. We have nurses in our ER and skilled nursing facility that are taking care of covid, dying and elderly patients making minimum wage or slightly above. https://transparentcalifornia.com/salaries/2020/kern-valley-hospital-district/ I know of several people in the hospital that have worked for over 15 years and are making slightly above minimum wage. ​ The records on this site only go back to 2013 and it shows that cost of living and inflation raises have not been met. WE get 3 paid holidays. Thanksgiving Christmas and New Year. All other holidays are standard pay. what's worse is half of the hospital will close for the other holidays meaning the staff working is then left crippled and at lower capacity for help while not being compensated for the worse conditions. We have high turnover, and people burnt out who can't…

This sub always appears in the popular tab for me, but I don't really get it. Is this a work reform subreddit, a sub to complain about your job/ex-job/the system, a communist sub, or what?

I left my last job because of how genuinely terrible the workplace was. Run poorly, vicious customers, my body was breaking down and we were constantly understaffed. I got a new job and at first it was honestly a dream come true! But then our manager and district manager were both fired, our operations manager told us there was an open door policy in place in case we had questions in the meantime, but then took us utilizing it to mean that we were “too immature” and wouldn’t “do the job” even though we never indicated a lack of desire to do our jobs, just a lack of understanding regarding all the sudden policy changes. We were suddenly constantly understaffed, had two leads quit, the OM didn’t want to promote internally for the four in store leadership positions because of a “lack of experience in the company” but then hired…
