Hi there, I have a remote job and was given the option to download an authentication app, teams and outlook on my personal phone. My work would reimburse me for doing this by paying for part of my phone bill. I’m okay with the authentication but is there any concern for having teams and outlook? They did say I could do this on my iPad or a secondary phone if I’m not comfortable with it. I could see the ease of having it on my phone but are they able to view my personal data or even wipe it or are they limited to the business apps? Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks!

I’ll start off by saying I’ve worked there for 4 years now. I work 3 12 hour shifts and I’m off 4 days. I got this job right out of high school because my parent has been employed there for 10 years. My job is just an entry level service job. The biggest reason I’m not happy there is because of the toxicity. There’s constant gossip about other employees, a large portion of it comes from my direct boss. She’s a complete narcissist. All she does is gloat about how she’s an amazing employee while she trash talks everyone. She is a complete two faced bitch, acts nice to my face one day and then the next I’m talked down to. Examples: she claims I don’t know what it’s like to experience mental health issues because she’s experienced worse than me. Recently I was severely ill (provided a doctors note…

I'm a manager at Petsmart and for the most part I like my job. Today I had to take some required classes that all the leaders have to take across the company and this one stood out for being a guide on how to break up unions. Please forgive the bad quality I had to take pictures of the work computer with my phone.

I am a special type of vender who goes all across my state and others, in many different stores for my job so I know where its good and where its bad. This is for people who want to quit baised on pay, but dont know where else to look. I live in nj but i work in PA as well. This will mostly deal with people in retail because thats what see and who I talk to. merchandising: almost always better. For exmaple the pepsi and coke people tell me when i ask them they make about 25$hr after a few years. with sales reps apparently making even more. reset teams: almost never make more then 1$ over minimum the people giving out food samples in stores seem to make about 17$ but apparently for events it can be far more. Giant Ahold: associates tell me they make 11.50,…

Sharing a story I heard today. I was visiting a local cafe and waiting for my order. I struck up a conversation with the cashier and asked if they're open tomorrow (July 4, a holiday here in the US). She said that they weren't supposed to, but the owner changed his mind last minute and informed everyone that they have to work. Then she said that she's very disappointed because she was planning to travel home for a visit and had to push her plans. I agreed that it sucks and that I'm sorry to hear that she had to change her plans. Then I asked her where “home” is. It's Morocco. The cashier had to change her international travel plans because the owner decided people just have to have their coffee on the morning of July 4. I naively thought that a small, local business would treat their employees…

It has came upon on me that I have been looking through the news, real life scenario of the uprising food prices going up, living costs going up, and everything else is looking like unaffordable at this point. I am scared that it is getting at the point where everything else b comes unaffordable and minimum wage won't be raised at all to match the inflation of things. People continue to tell us myths of tickle down encomiums when Reagan pretty much fucked it all up, inflation would go down when we handled the Covid-19. It's been two years after we pretty much controlled Covid-19, but I see no reason for things to keep in the inflation prices where it becomes everyone's struggle. Recently, the Supreme Court has fucked us, young people, about striking down on the loan forgiveness, when it's completely okay for people to have their $400k PPP…
