I’ve been looking around for a job to keep me and help me provide with my fiancé after dropping out from college(long story) Any recommendations on companies or certain industries? I’m not really sure what is considered “safe” or someplace that would treat me as human. I’ve been looking at Harbor Freight or Lowes as I’m more inclined to physical work. What should I be looking for?
Hi. not sure if this is the right place to post this. I live/work in England. I have a new manager and they took offence at some of the things I posted in Microsoft teams chat. To put it bluntly, they added HR to the chat with the 4 of us in the group chat. (including me) no one else could view the chat. They have said they want me to join a “formal disciplinary meeting” There are 3 things I said they have a problem with. 1. I mentioned that one of my female colleagues likes the bottom. I was talking about the bottom of a list. she hasn't taken it the wrong way and never made an issue of it. 2. I called a male colleague a poof (gay) and said that his camping trip will probably turn into Brokeback mountain and said it's only gay if he…
Hi all- Grassroots movement on fb organizing for strike and no-spend! Please join/share etc. Day Without US https://www.facebook.com/groups/596400258456825/
I saw this group and was instantly curious. So I have child support and alimony. NOT even an option for me but man sounds really great. LOL
So I was hired at a tire shop and have been working for about 2 months, when I had my interview I stated I wanted to make 19$ and hour and make between 40 and 45k annually and they told me they could do 16$ an hour and with the over time I would get I would make 43 ish working an average of 54 hours a week. I have been burned by overtime making up a portion of my guaranteed money, and asked if I would get that overtime on my checks for sure. They responded yes and so I agreed. But they split the pay period so unless payroll falls on Saturday or Sunday, as the do payroll on the 1st and 15th, I can work 50+ hours a week and not hit overtime. Now I can't make ends meet. I asked for a dollar raise and they…
About half a year ago I quit my job at a charity because of a culture of poor management and bullying. Fast forward 6-7 months into my new job with a different charity and the manager here is also a pos. She is fixated on me meeting targets (referrals for support) which I actually have very little control over. My colleague is also technically not meeting targets but has not received any criticism. The difference is, my colleague is not in her probationary period whereas I am. My manager has even extended my probationary period for another two months. There has been no praise for any of the good work I have done supporting our beneficiaries, just criticism. I think I’m an easy target? I’ll be informing my union rep about this, but why tf are so many managers so godawful and terrible people? I wish I was rich and…
Just a rant post here. I’ve been talking to my friends about my feelings with todays world. I hear so many people who complain about how they feel like they aren’t paid enough, or about gas, healthcare, roe v wade (the list goes on) but it just feels like everyone talks about it but something is never done about it There is strength in numbers. I wake up every morning feeling like livestock getting ready to turn the cogs of the capitalist machine. I’m in a world of complacency, and I don’t know what to do about it. Lately it’s been giving me intrusive thoughts. This can’t be life, but I’m watching in horror every day that this happens. Corporations & congress will continue to push these issues because they know they can. We aren’t pushing back enough. At what point do we reach a revolution? I’ve been in poverty…
I work for a franchised restoration company, and have been here for almost four years. I joined the company as its first lasting employee and have helped build it from the ground up. My boss is a rear guys, very family oriented, and wry flexible. We've had our challenges, but he's supported me through tough times. I run half the company (the rebuild, not the emergency services) and in the last year have built an awesome team. We've doubled our volume every year so far. Overall I'm blessed and have no big reason to complain. I've always worn many hats, but it's been getting ridiculous. I'm compensated pretty well (70k totaled), but work my ass off to earn it. Hourly, this equates to ~23/hr with OT after 40. Recently, I've been dealing with other peoples mistakes. It's been a struggle to deliver a quality experience to our customers, and get…
