I don't know what the fuck to do. I worked 60 hours this week and my boss calls me while I'm at dinner with my boyfriend, not sober, asking me to come in for a 12 hour night shift. I told him I couldn't and explained that I had already covered a bunch of extra shifts for them, and wanted one day to spend some fucking time with my boyfriend. An hour later he called me back and told me not to come in tomorrow. I'm fucking terrified because I have a kid and I pay rent. I don't know where else to work and how to get another job quickly. This was my first job. I have about 3k in savings to go through and then I'm fucked. Is this even legal? Is there anything I can do? Why the absolute fuck are we considered such a free country…

Like the title implies, I work in the hospitality industry and one day clocking Into work I started chatting with one of my co-workers. Pretty much out of no where she starts gloating that her son started working at the age of 12. I asked how that's even legal or possible, but according to her all you need is court approval to start working at that age. WHAT?? She even told me that he would work around 30 hours and made 50 cents less then her (and they worked in the same company).. How is this even legal or ethical? Of course not to steer drama I didn't voice any of my concerns, but felt compelled to mention it here.

You can’t afford insulin? They defend its high price. Can’t afford rent? They call you lazy. Unions are not enough. I want a pound of flesh. Enough Fucking talking. Time for action. Fuck strikes. Time for arson. Fuck feelings. You can’t afford to Fucking care. Fuck writing a strongly worded letter. They don’t care. This is not a “call to arms”. This is standing your Fucking ground. The American dream is a myth. War has already been declared on us and I have no intention on losing. We are the ones controlling their wealth. It’s time to egg mansions and throw bricks. Too many of you consider suicide the only retirement plan. You are not alone! You have support here. Let’s organize because we can’t allow this to continue. WE ARE FUCKING DYING AND BILLIONS OF DOLLARS ARE BEING PUMPED INTO THE MEDIA TO MAKE PEOPLE NUMB TO OUR STRUGGLES!!!…

So I'm finally leaving my current job. I manage a small team but still very customer/client facing. My team are also grown ass adults so I don't really even need to “manage” them. Just give them the info and tools they need, and they do their job well and on time. I pull my manager card only to tell off shitty people that bother them. Overall bland but not but not bad work. However none of us have gotten a raise in 2yr. Cost of Living shot up. I had to leave. My boss when I asked for raises for us: “It pays more than the idustry average.” He blew me off when I said none of could barely survive on our pay and the idustry average was ancient and stagnate. Got an entry level job in tech paying almost double, and hourly, so OT is paid in time and…

I work at this restraunt job and it’s pretty hard work . I make 9 an hour plus 2% tips , so it’s really around 10-11 an hour . I’ve thought about quitting but it’s in the area and i don’t drive ( I’m 16 and haven’t got my license ) so I’m able to bike to work and the restraunt is a nice restraunt so sometimes it’s pleasant to work at . But anyways someone brought pasteries in this morning . It was really nice of them and there were these small lemon muffins . I was two hours into my shift then got a muffin . My boss is normally pretty nice but I guess she was stressed today and she said no you need to work and grabbed the muffin from my hands as I was about to eat it and threw it away. It definitely would’ve…
