I'm a medically retired veteran, so I have a lot of free time and a little pension. Not a lot, but enough to get by. Lately I've been thinking about getting a job to make a little extra, so I can pay off my debt faster, splurge on anything I really want to buy, and help people I know if they fall on hard times. Been reading a lot lately about anti-work situations. People not putting up with BS at work just because it's expected of them. Retail workers quitting on the spot because management won't have their back against rude customers, people leaving because their HR will screw them over if they complain about hostile work conditions, that kind of thing. I've also heard from a lot of people who would love to stand up for themselves, or for the defense of others, but they simply can't afford it.…

I feel like between all the potential incentives/perks/benefits, the hierarchy, whether to be/join a union or not, and especially given the experience of all of us out in the world enough to contribute to the popularity and gravity of this sub… this question has been on my mind a bit lately. For some context, I’ve been in trucking/logistics for over a decade and some of that time was in lower management. There are both union companies and non- and for sure that word is taboo amongst freight carriers. Having spent some time being forced to implement policies and discipline outliers and eventually leaving my last company because of it… it’s been floating around in my mind for awhile. I’m thinking that various services and companies would obviously benefit being structured in a particular manner, but I’m considering from more of a ‘morale and retention’ sort of lane, than a “crunch…

My employer is offering a very generous retention bonus for nurses who stay with the company for a certain amount of time. But only RNs. Not LPNs, CNAs, kitchen staff. No other employees. And only RNs in certain specialties. What about everyone else? My department (the kitchen) is horribly short staffed. There is no reason for them to stay. What about us? Do we not matter?

Hello Everyone, I come from one of the non-EU countries and work as a Senior Systems Engineer (IT) in one of the EU countries. Due to covid I had lost my job back in 2020 and struggled to find a job for 8 months as no organization was ready to sponsor me a visa. A year ago my current company had posted a job on Indeed stating the salary range would be €40-55k/annum which was confirmed by the HR as well. After I cleared the interview, the HR offered me €35k salary. I tried negotiating, also said this is not what it was mentioned by you or on the Indeed job portal but the HR said this is what we can offer you (their tone was like take it or leave it). The job market was on a turmoil and I needed a visa so I accepted it. Moreover, they…

USA question Can anyone who works in the restaurant industry confirm this?! I have been trying to leave them good tips but I always pay with card online but I keep hearing more things about how the employees don’t get it, but corporate does?!

A business owner's perspective by r/Intaxerror Edit: added bold for my comments I'm already judging. No shame. I don't buy, I don't believe, and I never will, that increasing minimum wage is the solution to the problem, This tells me you've never seriosuly considered our argument, and you will never listen and try to understand in the future. and believe me, I am with you guys, there is a problem that needs an immediate solution. Yup, that people cannot survive off their wages. Just stating what I think you're implying. Consider that wage is an arbitrary number, no different than price, it's malleable and it often inappropriately assigns the incorrect value to a commodity. Ok, so what I'm getting from this is you believe a wage is just a number that isn't always the value of someone's work. It can be more or less, but you believe there is an…
