My job went WFH at the start of the pandemic, then made us come back to the office… well, all of us vaccinated people anyway

All of the unvaccinated people got to keep working from home. And it didn’t matter the reason— religious, medical, didn’t matter. If you hadn’t been vaccinated, you go to keep working from home. But those of us who did our parts to help end the pandemic, we were made to come back to the office. Even though for the last year and a half, we had record numbers and awesome productivity. I emailed HR today to ask when the unvaccinated would have to come back. They said they were still allowed to stay WFH. I asked why and explained why that isn’t fair. They said it’s because they want to keep all employees safe. Great. So, when I try to have a WFH day, I have to jump through hoops and lie about feeling sick. But these unvaccinated fucks who claim some bull shit religious exemption get to WFH for……

Remember, the news isn’t reporting on the current narrative, they’re creating it.

The two sides are contrived, created and crafted. They aren’t organic results of differing points of view. They exist to suck you in to one side. The news isn’t going out and asking your opinion. They aren’t reporting your thoughts or feelings. They don’t care. They often have a tempting message, something you’re encouraged to identify with. These thoughts aren’t yours. As corporations extract your wealth, they will have you point your finger. If we can help it, let’s not “own nothing and be happy”.

This was on a job application for a grocery store and it rubbed me the wrong way. Why would an employer want to know if you have received welfare in the past 6 years?

This sub has changed me and I am grateful for it

I used to have practically the same views as my boomer grandpa who is one of those “I bought all my houses and cars in cash when I was young, kids these days are lazy, raising wages will make everything more expensive” kind of people. He’s pretty much THE stereotype when it comes to boomers. He has never held a job outside of a family owned business or a business he bought. He’s so detached from reality it’s impossible to argue with him. I used to be the same way, I thought if I worked hard and did what I was told I would be rewarded, that maybe sure some places should pay a little more, and that the United States was the best country to live in. I will HAPPILY and humbly admit I was wrong and that we need some serious change. Around December last year i took…

10 years env science experience business wants to hire me at entry level (vent)

I just got done with an interview with an engineering firm for a mid level environmental scientist position. I have 10 years experience working for a US federal agency in various aspects from inspection to permitting. The interviewer said that because I don't have exactly the experience for the work, I did reviews of and acceptace of said work, I'm only qualified for their entry level position at $19/hr! I cannot express how mad I am at them for such an ingenuous interview! There's a local financial services firm offering $22/hr for an entry level job that requires a HS diploma! I have an offer from a non profit for $18/hr to garden full time! I'm so fed up with the wage slavery in the US. I just want to watch this country burn to the ground right now. Fuck.

Parents just told me “minimum wage was way lower when we were your age and we were able to get our own places.” They wont believe that cost of living is much higher now and pay wages haven’t evened out.

Can you guys send me some good resources to show them how pay wages have not evened out with cost of living? I’d really appreciate it.
