Do you think Oil Companies in the US are some of the source behind recent articles on Anti-WFH?

Just saying. Of course commercial real estate would be interested. I’m just saying that Big Earl has a huge stake in Americans commuting.

i’m so fucking angry for my dad

my dad got in a motorcycle accident a few weeks ago, broke multiple ribs, got a screw in his thumb, and they're looking at maybe replacing his shoulder blade. he hasn't had a cent of income since this accident because his work won't approve it without proof from a doctor. and he can't find a doctor who will treat him for the shoulder that's preventing him from working! the thing that royally pissed me off on his behalf was when he told me today that he received a letter in the mail stating that he owes his insurance company $562 by the end of the month or he loses his coverage. mind you, after spending the last of what he had on medical bills, he now has ~$30 to his name. the system is so fucking messed up. this army fucking veteran can't even buy his groceries anymore because an…

coworkers sister was sick, and she had to call out for a while to take care of her. my boss, who’s had a history of just being a dick, decided to put her at 9.5 hours despite the fact she’s signed up for 32+ a week as a ‘lesson’. the cherry on top is that in messing up the schedule, he fucked everyone else over as well. our schedules are completely messed and now we’re all scrambling to find coverage in our 6 person department. biggest fuck you to my boss

Trained 2 people to replace me and the manager told them to stop cc’ing me on emails they send out. This fucking hurts

The manager WAS a person I thought to be a friend too. My days are numbered and I don't know what to do.

Boss is disconnected from my department rant

So I run a fabrication shop within an HVAC company. My boss is the vice president of the company and runs the actual construction side that I'm part of. Every company get together for the last 10 years or so we never find out about until either the day of or after the fact, and when I've brought it up the many times I have my boss says “ok I'll make sure they know to invite you guys”. And it literally never changes. So fast forward to our father's day brunch. I find out from LinkedIn that they put it on three days after the fact so I bought my guys donuts. Then they have a BBQ and we find out only during the time they've asked us to do a special project. We've been excluded from Christmas parties, new years parties, and anything the company does really. They've moved…

Dad decides to scam son instead of teach him and whole sub LOVES it.

In the world of construction, the best way to teach your son is to use your experience against him and take advanatge of thier ignorance for your gain. The entire sub thinks this man is a genius, which is why everyones detests boomers. https://www.reddit.com/r/Construction/comments/14pfloa/did_i_get_scammed_by_my_own_dad/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=1

The inability of individuals to understand NOT wanting to work overtime or do unpaid work…

Stop applying your passion to others. Not everyone chose exactly what they wanted to do for the rest of their life. Their jobs aren't something that makes them happy. Their jobs are just for pay and no, they don't want to “grow” or “apply the right mindset”. Yea, yea. You're an owner, or you got your doctorate or masters. I don't give a shit. Surprise!!! You're not better than me no matter how shiny your Porsche or Mercedes are. You just got lucky, happened to know what you liked early on, or were pushed by your parents incidentally in the right direction. Good for you. Now let me enjoy my free time. Don't call after hours. No, I can't come in on my day off and no I definitely won't “study at home” or pick up the slack on my own time.

REVOLUTION NEEDS TO HAPPEN

I am over all the talking and discussing. REVOLUTION IN THE USA NEEDS TO HAPPEN IMMEDIATELY. We need to at least collectively mobilize. Supreme Court just killed student loan relief and it is obvious our government has failed us because they favor the rich few. I do not care if this mobilization starts as two people. We need to create an organization NOW and not later. If you are ready and fed up with all of this inequality DM me.

Finally left my corporate sales job.

Handed in my notice last week after I just couldn't take it anymore. It was a well paying job in an interesting field but my heart hasn't been in it for quite a while (it's recruitment). I have been doing CVs/Resumes on the side for a few years and so decided to make a proper website and I've had a few clients already booked in so I'm feeling a bit better and not so panicked about lack of funds. I'm also starting out my psychology degree in September to study something that I'm actually passionate about. It feels odd to be busy without all of the stress. Onwards and upwards!
