Basically they want me to pay a fee to sign up with them as a volunteer. I find it really weird that I have to pay so I can give them my free labour. Is that normal?? In the UK btw. Edit: For more context, this is a volunteer position in a field I've been wanting to get into for a while and I need something for CV material.

AntiWork. This subreddit and our ideas go against one of the most treasured systems of capitalism and colonialism.

How do I go about this? I’ve been passed up on merit increases for years and my company failed to correct the issue. I know for a fact that I’ve displayed and maintained excellent work ethic, attendance + professionalism throughout my tenure: My performance reviews have always been stellar and yet and had never received a merit increase to reflect that. The only pay adjustments I had received were cost of living adjustments. Aside from that, no merit increases and no equity while plenty of other underserving people got hooked up. I feel like my company exploited me for years until somebody above me realized, felt bad & finally gave me an opportunity. Fast forward to now, I was enrolled & (just completed) in an accelerated training program for a different department looking to ramp up headcount for their team. This training was offered out of necessity as they are…

If your gut is telling you that you need to quit a job, do it. Take it as a survival instinct, the universe, or God. But just do it. Find another source of income or pay. You will not regret leaving a job you hate.

I (23f) worked at Taco Bell as a shift supervisor earning 10.25 an hour . I live in NYC which doesn’t cover shit . I work 35 hours a week while a single mother of 2 toddlers.
