I know the job market is awful for many of us, but just imagine how disastrous things would’ve been had many parents not been able or were unwilling to let their unemployed millennial and gen z children live with them until they find a new job.

Former teacher. I landed a band director job in a new district. The district wanted me to run the middle school instrumental program and the high school instrumental program along with all the high school extra curriculars. After finding this massive work load I went to HR to sign paper work and I brought up my concerns for the position. I asked if there was a way I could get more compensation since I was running two programs at two schools. I also asked if there was anyway to get paraprofessional to help divide the work. The next day they sent me an email that they were taking back my contract and are going to pursue other people. Fuck teaching

I work at a large company. I’m interviewing for my dream job at this same company with another department. A week ago, I went to another company for a position that pays way less and is asking something of this position that is not up to the pay grade. I would like the position, but I have my hesitations. But they’re intent on making an offer and informed me yesterday they will be in contact next week with a decision. Today, I had a really great interview with my current company at this other department, but they let me know the next steps. It seems positive and yet uncertain. My current boss says I should accept the other should the offer be made and start resigning, and that once I get an answer from the current position, I could back out. I feel uneasy about it though. I know decisions…

This is the number: (833)228-4969 So this group “opt out today” has been targeting union members and sending letters about how to drop out of the union. “Opt out today” is part of the “freedom foundation” – a right wing group funded by CEOs and billionaires. They’ve been getting contact information of millions of union members and sending misleading and harassing letters urging members to drop out of the union. Their latest letter is titled “critical legal update” starts with “LEGAL NOTICE: immediate response to this notice requested”, it basically provides a fillable form for members to fill out and drop the union. It is very misleading and very deceptive. I just got a copy of it today. Anyways, the letter has their phone number. I already left them a message telling them to fuck off and die. Not telling you to do the same thing, but here’s their number.…

I work at a fast food restaurant like McDonalds, and usually during closing and overnight shifts, there are only 3-4 people in the store after 10 pm (The shift manager, one front, and two back) The store owner purposely understaffs people during that time as in her own words, “Kids are cheaper to pay”. Its usually mostly managable as weekdays are quiet enough, but today there was a sports game and the store got crazy at about 9 pm. A round of about 50 people came in the store, 5 cars at drive through, and at least 10-15 deliveries simultaneously while the store only had 4 people. During this time, a customer got into an argument with the shift manager and I was left doing front counter all by myself while handling drive through at the same time and about 7 angry uber drivers yelling at me. Worst part? orders…

Title. I understand they own the business, but it’s the lack of raises and not paying living wages that gets to me.

My wife is coming home in tears after another day of abuse from her boss. He yells, screams, shouts, swears, and lies to to her every day. She works as an Office Manager in a large office building for a leading employer in our small town. Yes, I know she should just quit and leave the abuse behind her. Not so easy in our small town where we are trapped because we live hundreds of miles from a large city with lots of jobs. She needs to hold out a few more years to be eligible for her pension and then Social Security. But her mental health may not last that long. She has tried keeping her head down and redoubling her work performance, but that has just made it worse. There is a formal grievance process at the company and an open door policy where employees can meet with…

All those little rich kids studying economics and Master of business Administration… Then these arrogant pricks think they are some all knowing important bigshots. Then they cause a recession or dont see it coming and srceam for help from the State. Because economics is just a bunch of made up BS. These people dont do anything meaningfull nor complicated – they basically just guess and endanger the lives of Billion.

For context, this started probably 2 weeks ago, when I came in at 7:05, our company policy says that you aren't late until 6 minutes after your scheduled clock in time. As I'm clocking in my boss calls me out in front of everyone, stating “everyone remember the daily huddle starts at 7 sharp, don't be late” to which I sighed and clocked in, then lo and behold, less than a week later she shows up late at 7:05, to which i jokingly say “You know the huddle starts at 7” where she immediately gets hyper offended, saying “okay just call me out in front of everyone then!” Later that same day she corners me in the break room, going on a long rant about how she wasn't late, something came up, she's a hard worker, she comes in at 530 every morning, yadda yadda yadda. So two days ago…
