I tried making this post as a reply to another thread at three AM this morning when i just could not sleep. I was angry, and depressed, and looking to yell into the void for just a bit for some self-satisfaction and then my phone decided to glitch. Over half an hour of typing on a touch sensitive keypad and there it all went, poof. So now here i am for a second time, even more cross than before and looking to tell my story about a company that hates its workers and why I am happy, despite all the troubles that have come, to no longer be there. Up until the end of April i had worked for a company called Inteva, they are a privately owned company (That will come up later) who supplies plastic car door interiors to GM. For the nearly four years i worked there…

Yes comrades, we all deserve to not break our backs while the overlords get richer. However, I think some people don’t quite understand how the world really operates. You’re not going to get a 100k a year job fresh out of school. Life is hard, and you actively have to be a participant in your future if you’d like to have a fulfilling one. That means making informed decisions and suffering short term. I made the decision to leave my passion (cooking) and work a blue collar industrial job. I work outside, in marsh country. It gets fucking HOT. The world doesn’t owe me an office job in the AC just because my peers have them. I’m not raging in the mirror every morning that I have to wear a hard hat at work, and statistically it’s a dangerous job. Life isn’t fair. You actually DO have to put work…

These things don’t just magically work themselves out. You can’t expect people with no background on business development and digital tech to know what to do next.

16F I have big burn marks all over my arms from working at canes and having to deal with hot grease 24/7. i wish i was old enough to press charges lol. i would sue them so good. worst thing about it is how careless the managers can be about it. don’t even offer you bandages or bandaids, u just have to push through the pain and keep going because they’re only worried about not having their times messed up.

Ok so I work at a gas station, I'm not gonna give out location just yet but I want to call the health department on them but I'm sure I'll just get put out of work until it gets dealt with, how do I go through with this and not lose up to a month of hours

I am an office clerk in the trucking industry and my scheduled shift is 3:00pm to 11:00pm M-F. However, this week they have had me coming into work at 1:30pm and 1:00pm. I am expected to stay at work until everything is done for the night. This entire week, I have not left until around 1:15am. I left at midnight on Monday and my manager was upset and said that he really needed the help. The job is very understaffed, so my manager genuinely needed the help as he often is doing everyone’s job at once. When I leave, he has to finish my job. I honestly feel like that’s not my problem and this is not going to work if I keep having to work past my shift. Thoughts?

I work with my friend in IT. One of the smartest people I know, but at the same time very lazy and a bit of a goof. We are always venting about the hours we have to work and pay. Here's the thing he's started doing – he will apply for other jobs (embellishing his resume so he gets an interview). If he gets the job offer he will except and work his current job and the new one at the same time for a couple of weeks. Eventually he will ghost the new company until they fire him and will only return their equipment (like a laptop) if they threaten him. In the meantime he gets a month of double salary and a bunch of SWAG (shirts, mugs, etc). I told him this wasn't ethical and he's taking work away from someone that's out of work. His reply is…

I (18M) got my first job out of high school at Walmart to pay for my college expenses. When I first got the job, I was elated because I was finally going to start receiving my own money. But this quickly vanished once I realized how shitty my managers were. I get told to do things I wasn't even trained for, get yelled at for little things, and am required to work and leave whenever my bosses want. One big example of this is when me and my coworkers were told to go home early yesterday after our shift. However, I was told to stay after and talk to HR since I was having log in issues with my Walmart account. I clocked out and sat down to wait for HR. A bit later, the boss who dismissed me came and asked why I wasn't working and if I was…

I am 25. I always tried my best to be a good person for society and do my part. I feel subhuman, I feel worthless, I feel like crying everyday or I am numb. I became disabled from the depression, anxiety and PTSD this society caused me last September, and I haven’t left my couch in months. I feel like an animal confined to cage like a zoo. While all the people at the top laugh at my misfortune and see me as less than human. I feel very sad inside. I don’t know how much more I can take of this. My sanity has been slowly declining. I am an empath and I can’t stop absorbing all of the pain and suffering. I hurt so much for everyone. Why are they doing this to us. I feel so sad. The ancient world used to carve mountains and see the…
