for the last 4 weeks i have asked my boss for more work but im not getting enough. each morning before the daily stand up meeting i would message him with the tasks i completed tasks i am working on ect. each time i tell him im underutilized and would like more work he says ” im so busy i cant think of anything to give you atm let me think about it” then he might give me a 5 min task. its gotten to the point that i don't have any updates each morning. i spent 2 weeks reviewing compliance documents insuring we are compliant. the thing is this was 40 files and we went over 1 document which was due in February. several were due in march. i have asked if i should work ahead and was told not to since we need to discuss it as a…

IMO greedy landlords contribute significantly to the ills of society but receive disproportionately little blame for it. Inflation, overwork, child neglect, depression, drug abuse, etc., all of these problems are exacerbated by greedy landlords charging unreasonable rent for a finite good that they are either in a privileged position to exploit and/or activity lobby and restrict the production of in order to preserve their unjustly-inflated asset values. Any tips on how to avoid paying rent? The only advice I have is for young people: live with your parents as long as possible and save up for a down-payment on a home. Sadly, this isn't possible for everyone but for those who have stable, loving families, make the most of this gift.

I was about to clock out and go home without letting anyone know but she came up to me and asked me what was wrong so I explained how I felt like I wasn't doing enough and kept screwing up and was worried they were gonna fire me etc all while crying so I figured I'd just quit. She explained that it's okay and I'll get the hang of it etc but I'm worried they're gonna look for my replacement due to this incident today. Should I start looking for another job now? For context it's a small warehouse and I just started about 2 weeks ago.

A little background; I have worked in 5 medical offices. Pediatric, Cardio, and Chiropractic. Also, a nursing home. I know my way around customer service and am familiar with software. I have about 10 years of front desk experience. However, this new Chiropractor takes the cake for me as far as toxic environments go. His whole office walked out on him. I didn't know this when I interviewed. They all just entirely left one day. When I started two days ago, the woman next to me (my trainer) was a banker for 20 years. She was there for one week. No experience with anything medical. The doctor pulled me out of the office and walked me down the road outside (weird). He told me I would most likely be the one training HER. He said she knows nothing medical and that I need to help her. Toxic. He also told…

Take security for instance most companies don't offer lunches or breaks because they provide ample opportunity to rest or take a break during work. So my question is if I don't get that time off what's to stop me from promoting unions while working?

I tendered my resignation. After everything that I had done to protect the guy, he still refused to quit with me, even though that was the plan. In any case, my now former employer is saying they're going to keep my final paycheck. I've called the Department of Labor but haven't been able to get through, so I left a message. I'm going to try again tomorrow. I've called several attorneys but none of them have been keen on helping me. If anyone has advice on that front, I'll take it. I'm owed quite a bit of money, especially since I looked at my employee documents and saw that I'm listed as not overtime exempt and they were not paying me overtime at all. Just thought I'd give a brief update since so many people were kind enough to comment. Thanks, guys.
