We just had our union vote at work and as the title says it wasn't even close. We marched on the boss about 30 days after we started organizing and had a vote 3 weeks after that. I'm not sure if the company thought it had a chance of winning but judging by the boss's gradually sinking face after each yes vote was added to the pile they must have. Union membership is on the rise comrades. If work does something that pissed everyone off reach out to a local union and strike (no pun intended) while the iron's hot and you may be looking at 50 yes and 6 no.

It feels like just for the average person in the world to survive we are going to have to go back to the old ways.. whole family’s living in big houses and building parts to extend the houses, big bulk food for we all can have lots of left overs, we as humans need to alll create our own gardens, learn how to fix our own cars, but meat from the local butcher only.. learn to eat all of the meat from animals even the parts we do not care for(stew) build stronger communities, learn to make fires and first aid. The world is too much make it on your own and just let everyone else do everything and just buy it… tbh I know this is impossible for big cities and others… especially people without families…

Basically what the title says. I'm livid that these pieces of shit lied after I quit my job & spent 800 bucks on a desk & computer so I can work from home for them. After 4 hours of training they started testing everyone's equipment for the requirements & my internet speeds came in too slow despite me testing it daily prior to the start date. They pulled me out of virtual training to tell me that I basically came in without the proper materials & they were dismissing me without any chance to fix the situation. After 2 months of unemployment filing I find out during the phone call interview to verify my claims that they lied & said I quit for 'personal reasons'. I'm out for blood & will appeal if I get denied, I just feel so tired & defeated by all these awful companies. TL;DR Williams-Sonoma…

I work in a company where my supervisor (let's call him Peter) is not my lead. They lend me as a resource to another lead, let's call him Jack. Jack does not belong to the field and was promoted just because he loves warming his chair. He is a narcisst egoistic racist person. He threatened me multiple times. Doesn't follow safety procedures as per standards and he is super reckless and promotes favourism. He even tried to forbid me from eating my salad on my desk. I went to my supervisor Peter after being bullied so much, and told him I need to shift from where I am to another team. It turns out Peter was threatened by me and my knowledge, he even put me with Jack in same room so I can suffer and leave. They never let me handle any new bid or client meetings. I have…

I work in Saas sales as a sales assistant and I'm commissioned 20% on a contract. Since I work on the French market, everything is in Euro but I'm from another country and working remote. So, a client signs a 1500€ contract and 20% of that is mine, that is, 300€ which means 15,000 Units(I won't put currency to not give away location) since 1€ = 50units of my country's currency. Earning 15,000units would mean about half my salary. Now the commission slip comes and it is written 20% commission as 300units from my country's currency instead of 300€. I thought there was a mistake but no. Instead of doing the conversion of 1€=50units they took 1500€ and converted it to 1500units. They gave me the bullshit reason that standard of life is not the same this is why they counted it as 1€=1 unit. I find it unfair because…

I am 32. I work at a luxury retail store. I am stuck in a cycle. When I start a new job, I am happy, have a positive outlook, I am motivated, I have hope for the future. But then the cracks begin to show. I become passionate about the job. I don’t come to work to make friends, still I try to get along with everyone and not be a miserable partner. I try to do my job well, from the tasks to the interpersonal relationships. But the cracks begin to show. I love my coworkers. I always think they are exceptionally smart and too good to be doing what we do. I feel the same for myself. But sometimes I wish they did more to contribute to our collective success. I am frustrated by their lack of respect and callous disregard for how hard I try to work…
