I accepted a job offer for a full time position (40 hours a week) for a small business that employs less than 20 people in NJ. The owner said after 6 months I would be entitled to benefits such as health and paid time off. I thought the waiting period to receive health was 90 days, and he’s doubling it. Is what he’s doing allowed?

I have my Bachelor's in History with a Minor in Philosophy, yet, there is no work to be found in such fields despite the fact that I enjoy such subjects, along with anything to do on the cultures of the Far East . I work at Target, however, I got depressed lately and started cutting myself because I did not want to cut one of my bosses for giving me a hard, so I had to leave early after talking to a shrink through the phone. I have been hitting the sauce too much since then. That being said, what advice can you give me on pursuing my passions without having to really work hard? I despise living in this POS capitalist society and I want to do something meaningful with my life, but how do I make it known just as far and wide as you have made your…

Right wing argument: billionaires contribute to the economy by purchasing assets, those assets were produced by companies who hired employees to build them etc etc, so that’s money going into the economy serving families building those assets. billionaires are fantastic to have Reality: while it’s correct billionaires contribute to the economy by purchasing things, that’s billions of dollars of assets serving the needs of and circulating through ONE PERSON. One billionaire family. What the working class want: those billions/trillions of dollars to circulate via the hands of hundreds, thousands, MILLIONS of people. The net effect is the same. But instead of billions of dollars entering the economy serving one persons needs, those billions of dollars went into the economy having served hundreds of thousands of families in the process. That’s why “billionaire purchasing power stimulates the economy” is NOT an argument.

So I just started a new job in january. I walk in and basically know their cocktail menu already, I know about the grapes of wine they sell and how to recommend them, same with their gins and pairing them with certain tonics etc. I'm the most experienced bartender to ever step foot behind their bar. During the conversation with the owner where he fired me, he even said “you're a great bartender, and I'd rather keep you on.” the issue is a clique of three people (the hostess/supervisor and two bartenders, it's a small place) but apparently I'm not “gelling” with anyone there. The problem isn't everyone, I get along with every non bartender, the bar back loves me, one bartender who doesn't have an ego and just likes learning my tricks and hearing my war stories loves me and we go out drinking sometimes. Multiple people have commented…

Most people are a pay check from rent arrears, most company's never give a dime and never give to charity. Most people don't want to be Into rent arrears, rent Is expensive I do agree on that getting a deposit together for rent take's month's for me I saves 300 a month I have a lot more now. I will never be loyal to any company, company's exist for a profit motive and most of that profit is never given to humans that are homeless. Most rich people are living in nice house's and having nice cars. The local government helps that Is a good thing, universal credit In the uk can cover rent with housing element I can assume it's different for section 8 housing in the usa.

I understand that moving expenses like paying for moving trucks or companies is normal. But what about help paying for putting down a security deposit or first months rent when discussing job relocation? I’m not sure if I should mention that when I’m looking for a job. I am currently broke and don’t have the means to pay for housing for security deposit/rent until my first check comes in.

Why would you even ever hire an employee you don't trust?
