Month: May 2024

My best friends mom got a new job at a tech company about 3ish months ago. She does something with coding (not exactly sure.) But yesterday she received an email from the CEO stating that all the employees are not working enough and “they should be working from 8 AM to 9 PM Monday – Friday.) I thought that was insane to send to your employees. How are they suppose to do anything other than work? What about kids and idk EATING AND COMMUTING? Absolutely bonkers. Is this normal? Is this even legal? EDIT: my best friend’s mom and about a dozen other people WERE FIRED TODAY WITH NO WARNING. Gotta love our corporate overlords!!!

I have 20 year's experience, and keep getting turned down for young women just out of college with zero experience. It's happened 10 times in the last year after extensive interviews, checking of references, etc. I really, really, never wanted to think this was a thing. But how can I not at this point?

Title pretty much sums it up. I work for a non-profit community health center. About a month ago, all part timers on our team were laid off and told they could return in September as temps (we’ve historically used temps for seasonal demand and projects). Now they are being told if they file for unemployment they can not be rehired. I know the employers can not rehire for any reason, but this seems somewhat illegal to me. Some already filed because they needed to. Many had been part timers for 4 years straight, this was a big part of their income. Non profits are on some bullshit just like big for profit companies

TLDR; my boss thinks my colleague is a perfect little angel and let them undermine me for the last 18 months. I’ve got no one to share this with and I’ve got to get it out before it devours me whole, so strap in. I’m in a tiny company doing admin work in a legal office with a small 8-12 member team, no hr, no management, just the daily ‘get this done and if you have problems just solve them yourself’. There’s no performance reviews, there’s no procedures in place, all word of mouth. Throughout the last 18 months my director (let’s call them Trevor) has been working remote and has ceased pretty much all direct contact with me, and now only communicates indirectly through my colleague (let’s call them Steve). They have been very clear that this is just for the sake of micromanagement and that no one has…

Work in a place where any “manager” is basically someone who has only gotten the job necause they have been here so long. Was told today how a higher up came in and he wanted everyone to be wearing company logoed clothing. I sais so if we have to wear it you need to supply it. “Ummmmn ill get back to you guys” Then someone metioned raises and still nothing on that and they mentioned how they were making less than other people and wondered why. Answer back was its an unwritten rule that we don't discuss pay with each other. And before i could jump in somebody else yells out 'of course its unwritten because it is illegal”. Loved that so much

Does Universal Child care exist? I imagine this would solve so many issues.

Yesterday, I was about to leave for work, and my neighbor noticed I had a backpack. He asked if I was going to school, and I told him that I was actually going to work. I told him I work at the local church as a tutor and teacher assistant. He then asked if I would be able to teach both his kids-first grade and third grade-for an hour over the weekend. I was in hurry and said I'll look into and think about it, since I couldn't stay any longer to talk lol. I'm just wondering how much should I price, because and I don't even know how I am gonna approach him about the pay and pricing and with the action money, especially since i am a college student I don’t know how much I can charge or what’s the reasonable price?

Hi. As the title says, I am a minor and I experienced extreme pain all over my body (mostly legs and back) which make me unable to walk properly. I was a trainee because my school made us choose work somewhere for a week to learn how jobs work, I had just 4 days of work during the last week of march. I was just a stacker and fronter so nothing too tough (aside from some things here and there) and by the end of the week I was in so much pain I could barely move. I just want to know, what could be causing this? I was walking 4-6k steps which is normal and okay for me usually. I apologize if this is the wrong subreddit to ask this, I didn't know where else to post this.
