I clean office building in the evenings. I walked out yesterday and because we lock our dumpster someone just made a pile of their household trash beside the dumpster. Well animals got in it and spread shit everywhere in the parking lot. I looked around and found some pharmacy bags, animal food and some dirty diapers. Bosses haven’t said anything yet, I assume because they don’t know but I will not be cleaning it up.
Step 1: small talk with Co workers, see if I can get to know them Step 2: befriend coworkers, this will take time but I’m in no rush Step 3: begin dropping snippets of info whenever they complain about work. Slowly make them ready Step 4: if one of them is already a socialist, that’ll be great help Step 5: keep being friends with them, make sure you get closer than just coworkers, if they’re around my age, then this will be much easier, and if they’re gen z, I don’t even have to hide it. Step 6:if the time is right, I ask them about unionizing, once I’m friends, we discuss wages so that I’ll know nobody is gonna sabotage on the mission. Step 7: boss, we are voting to unionize. If I get everyone to agree for a union. The next parts will be pretty easy for me.…
There seems to have been a downward spiral in terms of what people would like to expect. As people have grown more frustrated and angry, they take it out on each other politically. We need to find a way out of our current economic downslide.
My mother is the kind of person who went to work with pneumonia years ago “because I thought I would just close my office doors and drink dayquil” and got yelled at/fell asleep from exhaustion at her desk. My father is a Christian Scientist (not scientology) and they believe in very very little, disease is illusion type mentality I want to quit my job but we all help support my brother who is on disability for schizophrenia (that I'm happy to say is pretty under control 🙂 esp with assistance) Initially asked for part time and they just refuse to let me over and over So at work the staff to resident ratio is disgusting bc there's no set legal minimum. I genuinely love the elderly and working with seniors. I did a 1 on 1 job for 2 years and it was so rewarding. But the pay was insulting,…

I did everything. I bought insoles for my shoes, kept my posture straight, I madesure my knees didn't lock and used mats to stand on. I even work out to keep my muscles strong. Even with that, by the end of my shift, my legs are so weak and tired that I can barely walk and my legs ache the next day. Everyone else just complains of sore feet, but my pain extends beyond that. Don't say “find a job where you don't have to stand”. I want to make sure I can physically last long enough to find another job, and I don't think I can.
I went on an interview today to weld for a well known tractor company and as we all know employers love to sugarcoat what working for them would really be like. They except 14 hour shifts plus overtime AND weekends, they won't even mention pay until you've filled out the paperwork to start, just up to 27/h which means you'll be nowhere close to that. Haven't had an interview piss me off in a good long time. That's their best attempt to sugarcoat it? No wonder they're having issues finding and retaining workers.
RANT; i started 3 days ago, i work at a as a bartender, and the owner owns the whole place. i worked for 11 hours while “training” (aka i did the work while the person training me sat down and gave me some hints if i needed it) and the boss decided i didn’t get any tips and the person training me got $700 worth. people thought they were tipping me but it all went to her. i have been accused of stealing (i’m black) and just got SCREAMED at for giving her number to a vendor who was interested in working for her. i understand that might have been a mistake, but i was working my first shift alone and wasn’t aware of the procedure there. i have felt ridiculed and scared of the owner since i’ve been here, and it’s obvious the other employees feel the same. it’s…
