I saw what corporations do to women. How they abuse them, manipulate them, destroy their relationships, and force them to delegate their dreams of having children. If a woman decides to live off her husband's money. She shouldn't be shamed for it. In fact, when she uses that time productively for example to take care of her children, to make sure they are healthy/happy and grow up to be moral humans, she should be encouraged. With the Internet and easy access to knowledge, home is the place where one can start a business, develop one's hobbies, and learn new skills, not the workplace! Your workplace most likely will not let you learn/grow and somehow enlighten you, it is propaganda. Some hate the idea of a woman being dependent on her husband and despise the idea that a woman would have to listen to a man, but forget that a wage-slave…

My employer is treating most of its employees very fair but there is one team with a very incompetent and childish Teamleader and the colleagues there are really suffering. The Teamleader obviously is very good at tricking the supervisors into thinking he is doing everything right. Due to a special regulation in Austria they cannot terminate me, so should I try to help them?

I recently started a new contract position and right off the back everything is going well. And we are pretty connected with one another and help each other whenever we are lost. We are both on contract positions, different contract agencies with different titles. Yesterday we were having coffee and he told me that he gets paid $27 per hour and that he believes his contractor gets paid $50. I replied saying well you know if we are converted full time we can make more. He then asked who was my contracting agency and I told him. There’s no harm in telling a co worker who your contracting agency is right? But that’s all I told him. I know he wanted to ask how much I make but I view that as personal. If I come across a co worker asking me how much I make what’s the right way…

Okay, so applying for a job at this place and they got me doing a trial shift of two hours, they'll pay me if I succeed but if I fail they won't pay at all. What do you think I should do?

This was back around December. Because classes are still onsite, I decided to take a wfh internship to expand my resume and to also earn some side income. I managed to get hired to this start up and they were offering me around $200/month allowance. I live in the Philippines, that much money was already enough to feed an entire family. It was below minimum wage, but there are no other companies that would pay an intern that much here. During my first day in this company, I started noticing that there were some red flags. I was hired to be an intern for the Outbound Business Development Team, and on my first week in the company, my manager quit. I was trained and under the supervision of another department head, but it was obvious she doesn't know the problems and demands the department was having. In just my first…

So I'm in Australia and I work in the public sector. The state I used to live in was great (granted, I worked in the community back then). Now I'm back in a hospital in the state I originally lived and studied in. Oh boy is it bad. Overworked, understaffed, hospital saying it's okay to strike but also making it impossible to communicate to our union for the strikes by shooing union members out even when they have permission to be there. I'm getting fatigued constantly and my bipolar has recently tipped to depression which it was bound to do, but work is making it even worse. I got attacked by a confused patient a few weeks ago on my birthday and work made it as difficult as possible to get my workers comp sorted as I had to take time off and see a doctor. Yelled at on the…
