When do we all agree that we can’t change the us from a legal point of view? What is your line to cross to literally kill and eat the rich and corrupt?

It seems pretty obvious that the supreme court is busted, And we already Have proven without a doubt that anthony scalia and clarence thompson are corrupt as fuck, And no matter how corrupt they are, People don't care. Hundreds of thousands if not millions in “donations” to a fucking supreme court judge… It's disgusting, but, I'm starting to wonder if I should care. It doesn't seem like anyone wants to change anything while I'm quite literally ready to occupy a rebellion. I'm starting to feel like I would be happier If I could accept life was a corrupt hell, rather than wanting it to change and nothing happening. So with all that said, When do we French revolution? Is there ever a cut off point? And hopefully, I've covered my bases on “inciting violence” by saying, I am not encouraging or suggesting any form of political violence, Just asking when…

Pay is late every single week, sometimes checks bounce. What are my rights? (NY)

I'm getting so fed tf up with my job. Week after week after week it's “oh, checks are late this week because the payroll company did blah blah blah” and just… I don't care? Give me my money and give it to me now? They always come up with the money within 3 to 4 days, but that's not the point. Are they just ALLOWED to be late absolutely every single week? In addition to that, I've had 2 checks bounce in the past year. They eventually come up with the money, but now my bank holds all checks for a week going forward, no matter who it's from. Meanwhile, to the best of my knowledge, the company I work for has faced zero consequences. Googling the matter doesn't help, because Google hides results that give you information on the laws that apply to businesses.

Reindeer games

Fridays at work, they usually have workers play an arbitrary game for a chance to add a buck or two to your paycheck. For two weeks, despite me mentioning it, they've not had me play. Now I know how Rudolph felt.

Got denied a new job, because of a current work-related injury.

Yeah, so I got an overuse injury at my last job through a staffing firm, which could also be aggrevated carpal tunnel, but nobodys sure. Let me be clear, there was NOTHING I could have done to prevent it. I even warmed up, and cooled down, every shift. On my own, nobody else did. Anyways, my left forearm and wrist tendons are strained pretty bad. From overuse. Well, I decided to find another assignment from the staffing agency, and landed on a manufacturing gig. I showed up, wearing my brace, and was asked about it off the bat. I explained the situation and how it wasnt a big deal, but i see her scribble a bunch down which rubbed me the wrong way. Besides that, everything about it seemed great, and I thought my interview went very well. I find out today, that they don't want to hire me, because,…

Fun little story to make y’all feel good.

My first job I stuck out for 4 years, fast food job. Very lucky to have breaks extremely busy, virtually no downtime. My last year working there a sweet old lady started. We’re gonna call her lyn. Lyn was in her mid 70s having to go back to work. She retired with a great package from some big box retailer she’d been working for, she said she worked there for 40 years. So she busted her ass, worked for a company and stayed loyal for decades. Great right? The American dream to work your ass off for a few decades and then get to retire. Now why was this 70+ year old woman lifting 30+ pound fry boxes 40 hours a week? 4 years into her retirement she had some form of cancer, not sure what kind but she had to go into chemo. It took 4 years for 40…

Something you enjoy

I'm just curious if there's an actual thing of a job that one enjoys? I find myself just hating work more and more, doesn't matter what I do. It just seems to be repetitively boring and not worth the pay. It's honestly mind numbing.
