Remember — the purpose of the government is to protect capital and landowners, not the people

The reason PPP loans were forgiven but not student loans is because the purpose of the government, and the police, is to protect (white) landowning capitalists, not the poor, not the working class, not minorities, not you.

Manager believes jobs pay less now because we are not working as hard

Today I had a “heart to heart” conversation with my manager about how long it took them to get into management and if the pay is adequate. For context, this is retail. When asked about the pay they mentioned how they noticed the pay for assistant managers in retail has gone down since 2020. They said “since COVID in 2020” and “the gen-z bullshit” people are not working as hard so jobs pay less. Well, you heard it here folks. I guess we are a bunch of lazy jack asses and we just need to “work harder” to get more pay. /s Yeah no. I think jobs pay less because during COVID companies laid off staff or shut down for some time and saw the money that didn't need to be used for payroll so they pocketed it. While saying they're hiring to qualify for those PPP loans to pocket…

What does it mean when a position is on hold?

So, the job market is obviously pretty tough right now. I've been applying for jobs for over year and STILL don't have a new one. (I've done everything like tailoring my resume, reaching out to recruiters, etc. But that's long rant for another time) I've gotten several interviews, but they haven't led to anything yet. I've also gotten to the final round of interviews a few times for different companies. After some final interviews and a month or longer of going through the interview process, I was told the position was on hold so I wouldn't be hired at this time. This happened THREE TIMES at three different places. I'm just confused as to what that actually means or if that's just their way of telling me I didn't get the position. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this or knows what it means?

My Boss threatened to slice an employees throat….. AGAIN!

I’m the manager of a paintball site. A nice place to work other than the owner. He’s a racist, homophobic, sexist, antisemitic, intolerant, family slave owning, rich mummy’s boy, somehow related to the royal family entitled piece of shit. To summarise anyway. We’ve all had our moments with him. He’s threatened to stab me through the eye whilst holding a screwdriver to my face, gave a young girl a panic attack, stolen people’s wages by demoting and promoting when needed, forcing staff into a pension scheme. Threatening to fire us if we don’t break health and safety laws. List goes on. He has multiple lawsuits against him from staff and customers constantly. Well I’ve recently become the manager of one of his sites, and ended up filming him threatening to slice the artery of one of our staff with the knife in his pocket, which he proudly showed all of…

People who decided to sink their money into being a “airbnb landlord” are wondering why nobody is booking. I used to use airbnb but now that they are as expensive or more than hotels I just use hotels, better service anyways.
