We are powerful in numbers. We know this. We all want change and we can demand it. We are what makes this country run and we can fucking shit it down. We just have to get organized. I can’t believe I’m just now seeing all the threads about Monday. If I miss it, as a direct target audience, how do we get this thing across the nation? How do we do this? Pick a date next month? Pitch to journalists? Get a senator on our side to promote it? Start with the unions? What do we do?

My question is, should it be appropriate for me to get my vehicle serviced on company time? If work is the reason my car is due for maintenance so often, why should I be obligated to use up part of my short weekend to take my car in to the shop?
It feels so endless
It just feels endless I started working when I was 16 years old, almost 22 now, and since then I've had so many jobs. Multiple food service jobs, was forced into a manager role at a grocery store at 19, insurance brokering, and two seperate warehouse jobs. I still work at a warehouse today for about 30ish hours a week for $15/hr. From 16 I was helping my single mother pay bills and now I can barely afford to pay my own in my own apartment. I wake up, eat breakfast, work, eat some dinner and shower and go back to bed. There are so many things I want to persue but can't because of the state of the US economy. It doesn't make any sense. I was told anyone can make it to financial freedom in this country but everywhere I look I see people struggling with homelessness and…
I love how on indeed, every time they click not interested it sends you an email informing you of that. Had a company click it atleast 2 times a week for a month and then they suddenly send me an interview request for an hour after they send it. (I.e. It was 11:30 and they sent the request for an in person at 12:30 or 1:30 same day) I waited a week to say I just saw it since I stopped looking for updates after the 5th 'employer marked your application as not interested' notification. I don't want the job now, but if they respond back for an interview again I will tell them I am only interested if they raise the salary 30% based on how many times they intentionally passed on my application and still want me to interview.
Hey retail
I used to work for the clown
Do you use services or shop at retailers that have the cheapest prices that might not pay or treat the help all that well. Or do you support the companies with your wallet that do, pay their employees well and don't treat them like crap? What I have noticed is those that are unhappy about the treatment of workers and the pay, are the 1st ones to shop at or use services of, or both! Of companies that pay crap and treat employees like trash. Only thing these businesses understand is the almighty dollar, buying their service or shopping there for product is why they get to treat employees like they do. Stop eating your own. spend your money elsewhere. Even if it means going without things you'd like but don't really “need” .
