And whatever you got even if is the most basic thing you most be greatfull for it , Just think about how you wound…

This sub used to be an actual sub about abolishing work, usually from an anarchist perspective, but now it’s where liberals go to advocate for a 15$ minimum wage and “reform”. What happened?

I was fired after putting in a two week notice (they said “relieved from duties”) due to the insanely humid and hot working conditions that made me severely dizzy after being in the factory I clean for about 15 minutes. I felt the situation to be too dangerous for my growing child (I am 18 weeks pregnant and they where aware when I was hired on, when I was 6 weeks pregnant) and had to put it in. Temperatures on the factory floor at 3am was around 90 degrees, not counting how humid it was. There are no fans, we couldn't open doors to air it out, nor do they have cups on site. Would y'all file? I'm not sure if I can/should.

Need advice please. My significant other has been with the same company for 16 years. The name of the company rhymes with WalFart. The work load has increased, his team has decreased from 8 people to 4. The new starting pay for his position is exactly 1.50 less than what he currently makes. He hasn't filled out a job application much less interviewed for a job in 16 years but he wants out. He's started applying for jobs, but how do you take 16 years of “unskilled labor” and turn it into something meaningful that a company would be interested in? We live in an extremely rural impoverished area and he will have to commute 50 miles in any direction to find a job. If he gets the interview then what?

I work a remote position. My manager just emailed me a meeting request to come in next week. He simply said I need you to come into the office that day. And he just said that there is a reason and we will discuss at the meeting. I have no idea what is going on but I am highly suspicious that I am getting fired. Other team members have had meetings and they definitely were remote. I have not done anything that I am aware of. Any advice on how to prepare? ETA: I have company equipment which is why I believe I am getting called in. Also if they do fire me, will they give me copy of paperwork they make me sign?
