I’m currently weighing some options and if you have examples as to why one state is better I would appreciate it. Thank you!

As the title says I was injured at work last week. I’m a painter (I work for a decent sized company) last Wednesday I got to the shop and started loading paint onto my truck. As I was doing so I heard something tear at first I thought it was my shirt or pants but when I went to pick up the next bucket of paint I felt an immense pain coming from my left shoulder. I figured it’d go away as we always get injured but I tend to just “work it off” but this time the pain remained. I spoke to my supervisor and they sent me to a clinic (the doctors are ass) They put me on restricted work (can’t lift or push/pull more than 5lbs, as well as not being able to raise my hands above my head) so technically everything I do for work. I…

EDIT: Some grammatical mistakes. ​ Obviously, I want to him to pay tax. Obviously, I am aware that he's a millionaire. Obviously, I am aware that he is on his soapbox (though I'd argue it's his job). Obviously, I also know that he has one hell of a cushy job; a lot of high-profile politicians do. ​ But the comment above was made by someone in response to calling out multibillion dollar companies for paying little to nothing in net taxes. Talk about friendly fire: A low tier multimillionaire vs the goings-on of corporations that rake in billions every year. This isn't even a hypothetical of ad absurdum; this is actually absurd. You can't equate the two. I know that the words “million” and “billion” all kind blend together in a foggy haze when working class people struggle to keep salaries in the low 5-figures, but we can't forget that…

i work for a regional gas station 'known' for there pizza. i have worked there for about 10 months about as many people have walked off mid-shift from there kitchen. and there's nothing that that location can do to help it. this corporation has an app that allows people to order “online” and this corporation has never figured out how long it takes to make its menu items. they allow-encourage people to order 10 pizzas and expect them in 20 min. the pizza maker can set the promise time higher but only after the fact. and if your busy for too long it will set you promise time lower automatically. it would cost them nothing to put and equation in there app to 'guess' the time it would take.

I’ve been working there for a year and a half. I hate it but I’m a full time college student and need the money. These are things that have happened over time. I might’ve missed some but can I report them for any of this? Especially the fire alarm and temperature? (they are still happening). I work in the US for a big retail store. Sorry for any typos. broken fire alarm system that beeps every day. A manager told me the whole system needs to be replaced but the company is too cheap to do it. I hear it through my whole shift sometimes. Toilet that breaks down a lot Cluttered break space. Sometimes is full of uboats. It does not have much room to reach the lockers or sit down. Door doesn’t work and will stay open. Even when it was snowing outside no one came to fix…
