I’m a university student and I met a friend in university as well and we want to build an NFT project together. He’s ranting about his idea 24/7 and never do it. So i said let’s start it. There are several things to do for it: Technical: Smart contract: another guy writes our smart contracts not him. Front end (mint page): me and another guy was working on it. Not him Create metadata: another guy again not him. Discord: me (he don’t even know how to turn on gif setting in discord) What he did: “hey guys let’s have meeting to do the work together, how’s the website doing, how’s smart contract doing” he didn’t pay us. Price determine: At first, he just puts out a price 0.15, i ask to lower it because it’s unreal expectations for people to buy in at that price with a project that puts…

10 hours a week. I don't know how to survive this. I'm scared. I know it's just slow season. But rent and bills don't care. Food costs don't care. Please be good to me, tax return.

So, I'm going to do my best to make this long story short but, I have to give a lot of context. I work at a Diesel Mechanic shop in the Midwest. I've been here for about 5 years. I started here at the age of 20 and learned from the ground up. When I was hired in, it was the middle of summer, just me and one other mechanic. In total it was 4 employees. My GM, AGM, Lead tech, and myself. They taught me everything I know about corporations, mechanics, sales, etc. We do pretty much everything when it comes to mechanics but, mainly work on Semi Trucks. The catch is, we also do road side assistance. Since we are understaffed, we are not 24/7 which means we also do an oncall schedule. (For those of you who don't know that means, certain nights of the week I…

I'm no politician, don't think I ever will be, I hate people in mass. But I will write a book, and try my best to help create anyway to real life changes to the current systems in place. Right now, I'm only an unemployed content creator, a med school dropout, not much in the eyes of society. My book will be called ideal worlds braking down multiple ways in which the current could function with massive societal changes. I would type them all here but who tf really cares. So I'll wait until I'm more “famous”, it's a necessary step to reach my end goal in my life plan as a creative anyways. This post goes out to the future and better work environments and lifestyles for all this project may take years.

This meme says it best I feel like the amount of willing compromise given and praised in this sub is a massive disservice to yourself and everyone else forced to work as a means to an end. If you feel satisfied enough with better pay, hours, etc. you are pro-work. If you're satisfied enough by getting to work from home forever you are pro-work. These are good things to have if you can take them sure, but you're not fighting against anything- only conceding.

Sorry if this doesn’t belong here, but I guess I am seeking advice. I recently had a GM from a company reach out to me to recruit me. We had a great conversation on the phone and talked for about an hour about the job and industry related things. At the end of the phone call he said he would love to hire me, but we still had to talk compensation. He told me to take a few days to think about it and we would reconvene. Several days later we talk on the phone and I give him a number for me to go work for his company, keep in mind he came to me. When I told him my desired salary he laughs at me and asks if I am talking about Monopoly money. Keep in mind for this job I would have to relocate, and I don’t…

So my husband and I have decided to close our business as it's a 45min drive each way and with gas at almost $4.50 a gallon where we live, it's just not feasible. So I'm on the hunt for a new position in my field. I found what seemed to be a great opportunity however, before I even agreed to accept the position, the owner was booking clients for me and telling them that it would be me whose coming to them in 6 weeks or whatever. Fine, slightly pushy but at the time I was going to take the job anyway so I let it go. Red flag number 1. Now I've been out of the “workforce” for almost 5 years now as I've been working for myself, so I know things change but this next part blew me away. I agree to take the position even though I…

I'm 19 and haven't had a stable job before. I've finally found one with very good hours for my current living situation (16 a week) at a redemption center. Its $14.50 an hour with under the table pay. Is there any risks to this for me? I know it's not legal but I'm under the assumption only the employer can be in trouble for this. Mainly curious about if there is any downsides to this for me specifically. TLDR: under the table pay, can it effect the employee negatively?
