Fast Food workers, do you see tips?
Just curious. More and more I'm seeing the tip prompt at checkout and I'm curious if you actually see these tips working at places like Carl's Jr. and Subway.
I work for a birth to three agency in Seattle, Washington as a speech therapist and spent the last year organizing to unionize! We’re a private non-profit who gets contracts from the state and local school districts to provide early intervention services (although we call them early supports here) to kids with disabilities in their homes. We’re a multidisciplinary agency so we provide PT, OT, mental health, resource coordination, nutrition services, etc. I’ve been working for almost four years now and last year decided to try to unionize my workplace! We were seeing a ton of burnout and people leaving. Our wages were also “frozen” during COVID and then did not keep up with the 9-11% inflation here in Seattle. Our management was making decisions about virtual vs. in-person without consulting anyone and basically refusing to provide any actual information behind things. We were fed up! Long story short, we…
Hi for context I’m Gen Z. I’m not diagnosed with anything, but I do know I am experiencing burnout. But those who do not know that will think I am lazy. And maybe I am. I’m in a senior college and i have one more semester left. I started in 2020, leaving in 2023. I was on a full-ride scholarship the whole time.

I was working hard even before i reached high school. From inter to high school,…

Getting ripped off on overtime
What I need to know is what are the overtime laws in BC I drive truck and get paid by the hour in BC. I have been working 60 hour weeks for the last 2 months. I looked at my pay stub today and I get paid 99 hours at my regular wage and then the overtime kicks in. I looked at my last 3 pay stubs, same thing. I thought anything over 80 hours was overtime. I'm out about $350 a week in wages. We are short handed at work and I'm a team player and will go the extra mile (pun intended). I'm going to payroll on Monday and ask “whats up?” If I find out this is legal, well, I'm not doing any extra overtime anymore. My regular shift is 9-9 1/2 hours long and that was great. 12 hours? Include waking up and getting ready, winding…
