Month: July 2023

In my head I feel like I’m so somebody in life that won’t allow some boss to run over me. As if I’m something special. I ain’t smart and clever to start my own business and work for myself and earn. But there are millions of people who work for others like a company or institution to get paid and living life like buying food and paying for rent/ bills. In my head I just don’t like the idea of working for someone else because there is always someone superior than me that I have to follow the rules and regulations. Being underneath the top management of company like a manager, supervisor and what not. This idea of working paycheck to paycheck and save as much as you could then spend the rest on daily essentials of living life. Some jobs are so strict that don’t give you a raise.…

I’ve been super down and out about my job and how horrible my managers are and how the company I work for is complete dog shit, but I just remembered when one time when I was working at a sandwich shop, a travel nurse tipped 80 dollars on a 8 dollar sandwich. Was a really really moving experience for me to see kindness out of someone. I was making minimum wage at the time. We shouldn’t have to receive tips to make a livable wage and I’m sure that guy knew that and wanted to make our days better. Unionize and take care of one another.

Many people create small businesses online, on sites such as Etsy, only to sell 5 to 10 items. This involves a lot of time and effort in terms of photography, design, social media, copywriting, and more. Someone could be a highly successful writer and still only sell 1,000 copies of their book on Amazon Someone could spend years on the PR efforts for the music band or albums, only to realize it gets lost in the sea of distractions online So why should people put so much time and effort into those endeavors? Who is really benefiting? Mainly the big tech companies, at the loss of most people's time, effort, and emotional energy.

My boss is now cutting my hours and pay because of this whole tipping issue I had brought up. So my question is, can she be keeping all Credit and Cash tips to “split amongst all employees”? Or is it illegal. I know I don’t really have a way to prove the cash but the credit tips all go through our POS system. I would like to report to DOL or the correct place, but also don’t want to be wrong if nothing is illegal about how she is handling it.

Just thinking about that while seeing another post somewhere on here where a lady forgot the lyrics to the national anthem and I started to realize how dated those lyrics are. I was thinking I've worked at a couple fast food places and they said I wasn't allowed to leave the building on the 10 minute breaks “in case we need you if it gets busy”…. but I'm on my break and therefore cannot work soo I'm going to go vape???? Then I was thinking about the brave part. I was actually scared to go to a city planned fireworks event last week and my SO had to convince me it would be ok and there wouldn't be a mass shooting. I'm not agoraphobic by any means I love to Cycle a lot but huge crowds like that I absolutely will never trust again in my life. We are actually…

I'm waiting for the date when a family member is to be baptized and I was requested to attend. Depending on the date I will need to take some time from work, maybe work a partial day or something but still need to take time for it. It's a call center who I do not trust to make the proper accommodations. Or if they do I'll face reprocussions. So what can I use to help me get this and who do I contact if I face retaliation?

I’m playing God of War and just completed this side quest where I had to free a giant sea creature that was chained down. After removing chains I was expecting it would swim away, but it simply stayed because it was accustomed to being chained for so long that it didn’t want to leave. It was staying up afloat and would rather stay and enjoy some breathy air. Fuck. This creature reminded me of some of my coworkers who are in their 60s, still working and do not want to retire. They have their mortgage payed off, kids long graduated, married and have successful careers. I’m honestly scared to become like them. I’m 30 and still have about 35 years till retirement age. Even game developers know we are fucked. US is fucked.
