Month: September 2023

I want to like socialism because I hate capitalism. But in reality, I don’t know how you’d stop someone from trading and bartering without force, and no one seems to have any way to actually implement it properly without forcing people to work. Co-ops are a good start, but inefficient (as we already see.) I agree with Marx’s observations, but he was a philosopher and not an economist. So my question is, is there something other than feudalism or communism that is viable and has at least a vision of what it looks like other than dreaming and figuring it out along the way?

I am getting ready to leave this deceitful company behind. We had some ongoing understaffing issues for a long, long time. We are severely understaffed but guess what? They decide to keep all the profits instead of hiring people to help us. They want us to do the work of 2-3 people for one pay. No way! It ain’t gonna happen. I am getting ready to leave this DECEITFUL company behind. We do not have enough people and it is not even a team. Poor Management. Manager is incompetent. They also play favoritism here and their friends do not have to work as hard. They are really selfish people. They are very GREEDY. This is not okay. Once I am gone, I wish them luck in dealing and handling all the clients and things I have been doing for them. Today was my final straw. They told me to “f”…

“No I'm not. I'm looking to work an 8 hour work day.” “Oh it is, you get a 1 hour break!” “No thanks.”

I don't have a good track record as I tend to point out unfair and illegal treatment from employers and I get targeted for that. I don't know, i can't keep my mouth shut. So I'm looking for a new job, and i feel hopeless. Nothing i'm qualified for in my area is able to pay even half my bills. I don't want to live with roommates because i have pets and don't want other people i don't know too well around them. What can i do? I am originaly fron europe and regret moving out here. Now i have no money to return home. How do you Americans deal with this? Ps. Due to stress i started some very unhealthy habbits, but i don't know how to cope anymore.

I broke down into tears right after a meeting with him today. So for this quarter I have already completed my tasks that were preplanned in the beginning. only this month left so i was planning for a vacation at the end of the month. But he decided to add 3 big features on top of it. Fine, no problem. the complexity is too high so I already had communicated that it is going to take time. But he keeps nagging me every day and I have been feeling too pressured that I went into burnout few weeks back and it’s only getting worse. Day before yesterday, I ended up telling him I’m burning out badly, to which he said – “That’s why you should focus on only one task at a time” – He is the one who keeps texting me to check other things, bc of which i…

My job sucks and I'll be fired soon. When they give me the boot, what's the professional way of saying, “take this job and shove it.”?

and he even told me that all that was between us. i don’t trust management at this company at all anymore.

I’m 29 and I’ve worked since 14. I feel like 14-25 every job I applied to I got calls that day or the next, interviews, could basically pick the job I wanted. Now employers basically don’t call, and are never in when you call to check on your app. What the hell happened?
