This country is making me angry. Let me get this straight if a cop can beat down a black person or Hispanic person for no reason and still can keep their pension and benefits then what does that really say about America?? Meanwhile your government still won’t do anything about student loans and also why there’s no maternity leave or healthcare for everyone.

This was before the pandemic. I worked for this company for few years and I was in management. I was treated okay-ish, at least in terms of pay, but entry level employees were treated like shit. I tried to help but I actually had nothing to say. I had to stay at the office until 5PM even though everyone would leave earlier. The office was at the end of the street and had huge windows. It was super clear that I was alone in the building. After noticing a random car in the parking lot just sitting there, I reached out to my boss (the owner of the company, also a woman) and told her I am not feeling safe and I would like to end my workdays from home. The nature of work did not require me to be in the office. There were no customers or anything like…

I’m tired of having to explain to people that we are severely short staffer and that we are trying to do the best we can to get their work done. But no, nobody gets it. It’s ok for everyone else to be short staffed but not us. We have to drop everything and roll the red carpet out for you. What’s that? You’ve “spent thousands of dollars” at our dealership? Well good for you, now you get to wait like everyone else around here. How does everyone deal with these people without getting into trouble for telling them to get out or something????

So I recently was interviewed and accepted a position at a new company. After accepting they sent me some documents to fill out, like an i-9, ect. As well as an “employee agreement”. This agreement says I shouldn’t solicit customers or employees, disclose private information, ect. It also says I need to provide a copy or this agreement to future employers for two years following me no longer working there. And then under “early resolution conference” it states “upon such a breach, employee agrees to pay employer $10,000 in liquidated damages upon demand by employer” And that scares the hell out of me. Not like im planning to solicit employees or customers, but providing this to future employers for two years following termination, sounds crazy. And this $10,000 fine. I can’t afford that. Is this something to be worried about?

I want to make pamphlets to hand to my UberEats or DoorDash drivers that have a few good educational podcasts on them for while they’re driving they can learn about capitalist exploitation and socialism ProleWiki already has some socialistic podcasts listed, are there more you know of? https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Category:Podcasts

Hello, using mobile so excuse the formatting, created a throwaway for this. I live in the US and started a new job last week, pays hourly, non-contract, (working from home) and we’ve been training through watching hours and hours worth of modules. A lot of people aren’t close to finishing due to various different reasons, including company software issues preventing them from accessing the materials for days. The trainer is aware of this and has been encouraging people to work off the clock in order to finish these training modules on time to begin production this week, as you’re fired if you don’t finish in the time allotted. We use a chat room like Zoom/Teams for our online class for this paid training, specifically it’s Adobe Connect. So it’s most likely all recorded. So I have a question, what do I do? Can I do anything about this? A few…
