How can I report literal wage theft?

I feel like I should report this to someone. We’ve hired several new people lately who’ve all said they were told they’d be making $18/hr. I checked the Indeed to make sure. We are supplemented income with tips, but it is absolutely nowhere near an extra $10/hr.

Why can’t I just submit a fucking application?

Why do I have to make an account for every single job I apply to? What kind of bullshit is that? Just let me send you my resume

Manager agreeing to provide resource to keep another manager ‘sweet’ despite no business case

Managers using company resources to keep other managers 'sweet' despite no business case is surely misappropriation of company resources? Why must they keep a particular low middle level manager 'sweet'? All they're doing is spending resources on managers who shout the loudest. Surely it must be about using resources to enhance shareholder value?

Labor exploitation at its finest.

40 years ago, a relative worked at a candle making factory. The expectation of the workers was to make 6 batches per day. A few weeks before Christmas, the boss asked kindly if he and his coworker would work a harder during the holiday and make 10 batches per day with no extra pay or extra hours. They ran and accomplished the goal for those few weeks. After the new year, the boss asked the two guys why they were only making 6 batches per day, and they responded that they were doing the boss a favor during the busy season. The boss THEN expected 10 batches per day from those guys. Well, as everyone reading probably guesses, that was both of their last day at the candle factory. Labor exploitation isn't anything new. Don't overwork yourself at a job that doesn't compensate appropriately.

Yet ANOTHER piece trying to demonize remote work. Tell me how any of these (totally valid) health concerns are different from what happens from sitting at my desk in an office all day? FFS. “Remote work poses risks to physical health.”

Workplace found a place for me to rent, but they’ll be renting it in their name and then subletting to me as a way have leverage over me.

Title pretty explains my situation. I’m in Europe btw and the country I moved to currently has an insane housing crisis, like you literally have a really have a hard time with it. Workplace found me a place but I’m probably not going to take the place because I don’t want to be tied to a employer that has leverage over me because working at that is already chaos. I have some friends that I can crash invase I don’t have any housing.

My friend (25m) hates his job with a passion, how do convince him to look for another one?

Hi all, Everytime someone asked him if he likes his new job, he always replies with some variation of “it's shit and I fucking hate it”. Whenever Sunday night rolls around, his mood is always worse, it's seriously affecting his mental health, I understand what it's like because I (25m) have been there before. He lives at home, doesn't have a GF or child, and only has car payments, he has a lot of money saved up and could easily take time off work to get his head right and find another job, he's a factory worker, those types of jobs are extreamly easy to find, especially because of his past experience. We both left school at 16 (UK) and this is only his second job, his last one lasted for 10 years, the difference between the two jobs are night and day. I'm completely expecting his to brake down…
