I think I posted on this group before about how my boss bullies and belittles me. So basically, I work with this company remotely, and my main job with them happens to be later in the day. I am also currently a full-time student on my last semester right now so I’m pretty busy with exams and papers and all that stuff. But last semester, I found myself with a lot of free time, so I agreed when my company wanted me to help out in some projects. I started by helping out with little jobs but quickly thrust into a more staple and demanding kind of role, where now I’m expected to do most of the work, be on top of every fucking thing, and apparently make sure that other departments involved do their jobs. The leader of the project and also unfortunately, of the company makes me report…

Employers aren’t going to increase wages if you stop tipping. Make a thousand posts against it. Write hundreds of op-eds about it. The ONLY, yes ONLY, outcome is unfavorable to you, the idiot thinking you can win against greed. They won’t increase wages across the board for these industries. If enough of you convince people to stop, the workers will quit. The owners will either increase the prices to offset SOME of the profit loss of the reduced labor force or they will replace dine-in options/capacities. You are the only one screwed here. These companies are already making profits hand over fists. If you don’t want to tip then don’t, but the countless posts about tipping does nothing but screw over innocent workers. Do you think they are the ones adding tips to every facet of the goods and services exchange? No. They are not. You can not stop greed…

I want them to know what they are dealing with

Was watching the office on peacock recently. There is an episode where the warehouse workers are trying to unionize. Holy crap l, the anti union rhetoric/threatening jobs from Jan is insane. Like, if a member of corporate from a company said that out loud, it would be a nightmare for them. Just reminds me of what happened with Amazon and Starbucks and thought it was a fun thing to ponder.

I had an incident with a co-worker last night, he was making threats to “beat my a**” not his first time either hes threatened at least three other co-workers as well. So like any mature adult I didn't engagein the behavior and separated myself. I cooled off, gathered mythoughts and went back to have a conversation with my co-workerbut it ended just as well as the first interaction. At this point I called my boss and informed him that threats were being made again and he said he'd handle it. My co-worker ended up making ahuge mess and being that he was making threats and to the best of my knowledge nothing about the issue earlier in the night had been resolved I wasn't going to put myself in a position that could potentially end in a violent manner. Fast forward to this morning and I'm getting fired for failure…

I just learned this word and thought I would share. I’m confidant it beautifully summarizes many of our work environments here.

Big money at my place is like, it's time to return to the office. We have a 6 floor office building but we need to condense the people we have to use less lighting and AC and cleaning staff needs to just 2 floors. We have been working from home since covid started and now I need to return to the office 1 day a week.. I'm only upset because the reasoning is upper management wants to see our faces.. it's the 3rd week of return to onsite one day a week.. I haven't seen anyone other than my direct boss. It costs me gas to drive to work, car maintenance to keep the car going to work, clothing and laundry to run the monkey suit that gets no attention.. lunch packing.. and I'm nowhere near the bathroom….. When we go to the office everyone wants to just stand around…
