Hi everyone, I’ve been a long-time lurker and participant in this subreddit, and I’ve noticed a common theme in many posts where people face unjust, discriminatory, or plainly illegal treatment at their workplaces. The go-to advice often is “get a lawyer,” which is solid advice. But, that leads me to a question that I think could use some collective wisdom: How does one actually go about finding and hiring a lawyer? I understand the importance of legal representation, especially when dealing with situations that could have significant implications for one’s career and well-being. However, the process of finding a lawyer, knowing what to look for in a good one, and understanding the steps to formally engage their services is not something everyone is familiar with. Could anyone here share their experiences or steps on: Starting the Search: Where do you begin? Are there reputable websites or resources that can help…

Had some experience with cosmetic side of cars/etc. They're a company just bought out, only two guys. o Doesn't tell me the code to by the gate over the weekend but tells 2-3 others. o Gets upset I caught myself against the bus from losing my balance and because my glove touched the paint. This is 10 feet in the air mind you. o Has me on a sketch scaffolding that has no rails on it and is 12 feet high o Claims I made a mark on the bus but I didn't even reach that area yet and immediately shifts to another area on it instead of owning up. o Open the paint booth for 2-3 seconds at end of the day.. no one in there and no one told me I couldn't open it at all. Gets pissy about it. o Flips out over my screws not being…

Hello! I am going into a salary/benefits negotiation discussion tomorrow with a new company and I've never done one before. I've negotiated my salary with a recruiter as an intermediary, but not directly with my hiring manager. I've told them in other interviews that I was looking for $80k and that seemed to be within their range, but besides that, I'm not sure exactly what to ask about. Here are some things I was thinking would be good to ask to be in my offer letter: 3 WFH home days with a required 2 days maximum in the office 401k match (I'm not sure if the % is negotiable or how to negotiate it) Healthcare options PTO accrument schedule Does anyone have any advice on what to ask for and how to negotiate? I honestly don't really know what is negotiable TIA for the help.

Source Here's my second post about worker's rights in the United States that seems to get brought up here a lot. Last time we talked about how you have a federally protected right to discuss wages even at work. Today, we're discussing how your employer cannot restrict your access to use the bathroom, and they must provide a minimum number of bathrooms based on number of workers, which must be immediately accessible. They must be kept in a sanitary state, and also include soap and water, as well as either warm air blowers or individual hand towels(paper or cloth). Know your rights and have a great day, whether you're at work or at home or out on the town!

May already been addressed but why do boomers insist on coming to work sick? Generalization I know but humor me if your experience matches mine.

I work as an adjunct, but I can’t survive economically, and got a part-time job tutoring. It’s $35/hr for a group class and $25/hr for single student sessions. However, I am also expected to put together a nice PPT, and in the group classes, make (and grade), a short quiz and assign writing homework — and grade both. I also have to write a short progress report once a month AND I teaching really complicated advanced books…so have to prep a lot. They’ve slowly introduced a lot of these requirements, but I’m at a point now where I feel taken advantage of. What do you think?
