Month: December 2023

I've been in my position for around 6 months now and only because someone had injured themselves loading and unloading boxes has the company said that it is not our responsibility (the store we work in has an agreement to do it – this was specifically outlined by hr). My manager asks me to perform this task almost every shift I do and it contributes to back pain and adds an unnecessary time pressure on an already busy schedule. Im now pretty pissed off that all that work was not my responsibility and am looking for some a grade antiwork suggests so fire away

If you go into work in person…

As someone who does not like to work and is interested in working less or finding ways out of the rat race. I want to know what to you guys think of the FIRE movement?

Hey guys! My large healthcare company recently got bought by an even larger company. The new company is refusing to pay out installment sign on bonuses offered by the previous company. What recourse do I have? Any advice?

I get why it's said, it's to shut you up. It's like calling someone a communist or what ever. It's supposed to shut someone up and make them fall in line. What does being in the top 10% in the world get me when I'm struggling too?
