Daycare teachers

My wife and I send our children to a corporate owned daycare and we recently found out that they only pay the teachers around $15 an hour which is the same amount that people bagging groceries or pouring coffee get paid in our area! I’m fucking livid about this and I’m wondering if this is common knowledge because my wife and I had no clue. What makes it more infuriating is that since September when we first started sending our kids there, the daycare has had to close early many times and change their hours a few times always citing “staffing shortages”! Well no shit, you’re charging $400-600 per kid per week and paying people who had to get an education to work for you minimum fucking wage and well below a living wage!!! This place is fucking evil because the people working there actually care about the children and…

My boss asked me to come into the office even though I didn’t have a car.

I had my car totaled the other day and live far from the office. Even though we have remote work capabilities, I was still asked to come into the office. I was told to take an Uber or something because it was absolutely necessary for me to be there (it wasn’t). Ended up shelling out quite a bit to do so and am just pissed off. He seems adamant that I notify him well in advance and makes a big deal about me not being able to come in for the very few times I needed to be at home (even though I have very valid reasons). Meanwhile, he’s hardly there for some reason or the other – he’s done the remote work more times in one week than I have in 6 months but I still have to be there rain or shine. I fucking hate this.

Do Not Talk To Your Employer

Do Not Talk To The Police This 45 minute video I watched some time ago is great about reasons not to talk to the police explained by a law professor and a high ranking police officer. I have read a few posts that caused this video to come to mind because I see a fair number of errors in employee to employer communications here and I want to highlight 5 of them to make it easier to navigate the business world while retaining personal power and dignity. If You Have A Work Related Request Either Record The Meeting Or Get It In Writing If you don't have it in writing it's your word against theirs and that isn't helpful at all. Generally speaking if you have your phone on you, when you go to “the office” for a “conversation” if you are requesting accommodation or a raise or any other…
