Why is there no modern Batman, fighting for the Weak?

Imagine a wealthy and educated Person, applying for low wage jobs especially those with alot of red flags. Jobs where the Bosses count on abusing people who either lack education on the law, the money to get legal help or the time. But this young hero got it all, taking them rightfully to justice to help out the weakest of the weakest. And all fully legal. If he gets outed some day and can't apply with his name anymore he can just teach and fund his new sidekick doing the same. Over time every scumbag lives in fear, knowing his next low wage victim could be his last. There are so many wealthy people bored and seeking for everlasting fame. Do this, become a modern hero, a legend.

Have to take leave no pay so a casual can cover me

I work for a big organisation, doing maintenance, my manager and I are full time and there's two casuals. My manager and I both put in leave and it overlaps one day, the casuals work three days a week (one barely shows up, 3 days in the past 6 weeks) I got denied my leave cause none would be on site that day if I was off cause managers leave got approved. I asked a casual if he could cover my shift, he was available, I then asked my manager if that works, he said it's fine, then the business manager says that it will affect the budget cause it's not the casuals day, the only way I can have the day off and have the casual cover me is I take leave with no pay… I'm now paying the casual to cover me… The company is worth…. 16.8 billion…

What to do ?

Im sure there are complaints like this all the time. But I just needed to vent and ask what I should do ? For starters the concept of working until im dead is overwhelming. I don’t want to do this anymore. It’s not worth it and never has been. I 23(m) have been working since I was 12-13 years old. Now im just at my limit. I’m tired of dealing with shitty coworkers. Getting bashed and having to smile in their face. Explaining why I need to call out even if I’m sick etc. I feel like a big kid getting bullied. Most people will say switch jobs . I did retail to restaurant work and now im currently in the medical field. And it’s all the time I get tired and feel like im going crazy. No matter what job. I try to plan things for outside of work…

Boss approves bad decision and demands I fix it

I'm a lead at a section of my workplace. I had a coworker message me last night over our company app, asking me if I could do a shift switch with him. He's kind and wonderful to work with, and this seemed extremely important to him to do something he enjoyed today. He asked me last, as he wasn't sure my position was one he could switch with. I told him I'd love to help, but I'd need him to get it cleared with senior staff due to 1. Our slightly different titles 2. My high number of hours So I wouldn't do anything I'm not allowed to OR get him in trouble. He messages the boss. They tell him he can't take my shift. They tell him I can take his though. He reports this to me, elated, and thanks me a ton. I'm then sent a copy of…

It’s 103F out, but I should bring my own water.

I've been delivering food for UberEats for a few weeks now. Today, it was 103⁰F (I think that's about 40⁰C). Before leaving a McDonald's with my delivery, I asked the worker if I could have a glass of water because the franchiseee had removed all of the soda fountains (I swear, all I wanted was water.) from the lobby. It was 103F outside, I was working to support their business and the worker told me they'd have to charge me for the water. I wonder what that franchiseee would do if someone had a heat stroke in their lobby, pat them down for cash before offering a glass of water?

Tomorrow is my first day at my new job. Wish me luck >:)

I’ve put off having to work for six months. It’s not that I don’t want to do work, I just hate that I have to be a cog in the capitalist machine. It’s so demotivating.
