I own a small business with just me as the only employee. In December of last year is when I started it. We are a IT Support and Cybersecurity consultant company in a small town. I have the work experience in the IT field and the degrees in Cybersecurity from an accredited university. My first client had a couple big jobs for me to do. They own 3 companies and I did work for 4 of their stores. They made me an offer that sounded wonderful. The offer was that they would pay me 800 a week, from their main company, and go into a partnership with me in my business. The partnership would be split between us 3 so almost 33% each. While I made the 800 a week, we will work on my business and get more business so we can share the profits. This sounded great to…

Im looking for jobs and the only damn job around me that makes since is Revature. They are some kind of “sign a contract and we will pay you and teach you to code for businesses and be a professional” kind of business. I'm looking for anything that can help me grow and this feels like it but I need information before I sign a contract. So like the titles says, had anyone worked for these guys before and gotten anything valuable out of them? They offer paid time off, 401k, health vision and life insurance, relocation assistance and paid training.

Which do you think would be more beneficial? The UBI would be more along the lines of Andrew Yangs idea of enough to help, but not enough to live off. I think UBI as that wouldn’t have the massive ripple effect that forcing companies that potentially can’t afford to raise rates without raising prices or going under (mostly small businesses).

I could swear working past 5 years in office I developed back problems and eye problems (I even started wearing glasses). Watched office space the other day and figured I might need to reconsider my “career” of choice.

I'll start out with this… I work for one of, if not the, largest companies of it's type (we sell cars) on the east coast. Company profits in 2019 topped $2.1 billion dollars and have only gone up from there and there are approximately 2,500 employees both full and part-time. Every three weeks to a month we get notifications that the company has expanded again and has either bought out another of it's type, or added some extra location/expansion/nonsense no one wants while most every employee in one of three departments barely makes a living wage if at all, or needs a second job to make ends meet. I can feel the discomfort and distain growing for how things are being treated and see a change needs to be made soon and it may simply require a small spark to get the fire raging. My plan is this: I want…

On day 10. Feel like I’m skirting the line of what’s acceptable. Thoughts? I’ve had to call out manually every day past 5 and it just feels wrong. Stopped being sick a few days ago

Hi guys, Long time lurker, first post. My company was fully remote for most of the last two years until about 2 weeks ago. We have onboarded and off boarded multiple people during the pandemic without any issue. I gave my one month notice and asked my employer if we could make the transition process flexible (part remote, part in person) since I’m moving to a new city/ending a lease etc. I thought that was quite reasonable. They are being completely inflexible and literally giving me the “how could you ever expect any of this to be handled remotely” line. Like the last two years never happened. One of the quotes was “I don’t care about your personal situation or lease.” I stayed professional when they said that, and Im trying to do my contractually obligated notice in good faith and transition my responsibilities. At this point, I want to…
