Hello, I am a server at a restaurant who has become the source of a raise for the back of the house employees, which will consequently be a huge pay cut for me. I heard about this happening at other chain restaurants but not at a family owned place like this. Basically, the expo and food runners in the kitchen realized they were not getting paid enough so they asked management for a raise (which I totally understand and agree with). However, instead of giving them a higher hourly, they are now requiring us as servers to tip out DOUBLE our food sales in order to tip out said kitchen staff so they get paid appropriately. For context purposes, these employees do not claim tips and are paid above minimum wage. We make $3.50 an hour and end up having to pay 7k-10k a year in taxes. We now are…

Find any Quantum scientist and their knowledge blow your mind. Some of the smartest scientists in the world. Yet some lazy CEOs who post on Twitter all day make infinitely more money. If wealth was a measurement of intelligent, then wouldn't that mean billionaires are smarter than all scientists combined?

This happened years ago to me but this sub reminded me of it. I was working as a contract IT guy for a Biotech. I was supposed to bill out in 15 minute increments, and 1 minute over an increment counts as a full 15 minutes. So I was required to be in the building for 8 hours and because of various reasons I generally was there for between 8 and 9 hours. I liked the people I worked with and I always felt weird about billing for the odd 15 minutes here and there. Sometimes I'd give them a whole hour for free. No big deal. That is until the HR director “caught” me printing out concert tickets at the end of the shift. The conversation went like this: HR lady – “The ink isn't free you know (yes it was toner, not ink). You know how much that…

Fuck he is so hot, oh god oh fuck oh god oh fuck “CUMS LOAD AS FUCK” I want Jeff Bezos to have my kids.

That shit felt sus af ngl. (excuse my language, Gen z here) Like boo idk what was going on in there, but I did have a friend who was hired for like 18 an hour (which is a fucking joke) and he left a week later. Yeah, minimum wage here is like above 16 I think, it’s still a joke, all of this is a joke. Hmm, I’m gonna go apply for other jobs with the soul purpose to try and unionize them for kicks and giggles. It’s not like I have anything to loose, most of us still live with our parents or are jobless. I’m not lazy, I just can’t run a future like this (minimum wage) (late stage capitalism) (boring neo cyberpunk dystopia)
