Job offer only making $17 an hour is it worth it?

There’s also other benefits such as tuition reimbursement and medical benefits but it’s a traditional 9-5 so if I decide to go to nursing school I wouldn’t even be able to work as a MA(medical assistant). I can make more money being a server or bartender on the weekends and I can finish school during the day. What do you guys think?

Helpful resource

Hey there I wanted too provide this helpful resource for those of us who are fighting for better wages and work conditions! Two websties accessed through the website Mel.org Both AtoZdatabase and Gale in context are fantastic! AtoZdatabase is a helpful resource that not only helps you find work under whatever parameters you prefer but through this site you can search and view any business credit score, basic model, how they file their taxes, and much more! Gale in context is a helpful tool that lets you search a topic and recives many verified articles on the subject from both sides of the debate. This can allow for amazing talking points for a better more livable wage and even lets you see what other might be using too justify their opinion! Please use these resources they are completely free and many of the things offered on Mel.org are helpful so…

The “rich” just don’t understand.

Wanted to share something that my coworker said yesterday. So it seems the founder's son who inherited his father's legacy and his billions has made the statement that we should all go back to the office and work from home should not be allowed. The national head of her department told her that this would absolutely decrease productivity, but they have to start complying and are increasing her days in the office from 1 to 3 per week.

Am I crazy for saying I won’t work beyond 7, on the weekends or holidays

My company timings are 9 to 6 M-F. Everyone in my country is salary. No body gets paid for overtime or gets comp off time I had a supervisor who would constantly give me work after 7, it was always urgent. This happened nearly every day. The work was mentally taxing and it's difficult to do for so many hours especially after a full day of work. So I told her I won't work after 7 and if it was urgent to tell me sooner. Same thing happened with the weekend and my PTO. I literally had to block her because she called me 7 times when I was on bereavement leave to essentially ask for work Each time she complained to my manager and my co-workers. She assumed that I wouldn't tell my manager the same I , thankfully no longer have work with that supervisor However, my manager…

I clock in before even being at work

For some time now I usually clock in the minute I leave my house because I do not consider commuting to work leisure or free time. I only have a 15 minute drive to work and so far, nobody has said anything. Do you do the same thing? Has anyone ever said anything to you about it and how did you reply?

Capitalism has no room for being a human

I know this is the most minor of complaints especially with all the horrible stuff our corporate overlords do. It just sucks that there is no room or allowance for just getting a bad nights sleep. I’m sure it happens to everyone. Either a siren went off or the garbage truck came early or you could have just slept in a weird position. It’s completely unacceptable to just give your human body what it needs, sleep a couple more hours, and show up to work late. If your work already gives you a hard time for real illness they would just laugh in your face for calling in because you needed a little more sleep. Idk it would just be nice if we ditched capitalism for something that would treat us like humans not machines.

unpaid wages in Florida

I worked for 7 days before I decided the job wasn't for me due to glaring issues (I've posted a bit about it previously) I quit and waited a whole month before I was paid and in the end I was paid for only 2 days out of the seven. Does anyone know what I should do? I've got proof and witnesses that I was there and working. Theres hours I spent on computer training that's logged on a website (I'm going to try to access it today). It's a huge business, even as a franchise it makes millions, I know it's only 5 days but it was a awful experience and with prices going up I need that to get food for my kid and I.

Question for salaried employees

Has anyone ever quit a salaried position due to required hours worked? Being scheduled 50+ with no autonomy on days worked and not getting 2 days off in a row.
