Had some luck with crypto a few years ago and immediatly made plans to move out of the country and live in the woods for a while with my GF. Now, almost a year after I have left, and a few weeks before returning to my homecountry due to running out of money: I can confidently say that last year was one of the best years in my life. Not working rocks. Would advise everyone who is financially capable to do the same. Don't wait until you are retired. If I am ever going the get the same opportunity, I'll do it all again without a second thought. Costs: Total cost for everything past year was about ~30.000 euro's (including moving and literally everything else) for an entire year of not working and just doing what I feel like. You'd have to be careful with your expenses, but it was…

Lol… I have been working at an eyeglass store for maybe 5+ years now, and just recently my boss has made a new requirement that we have to STAND up when a customer walks in? I'm not sure if it's because I haven't really been to other eyeglass stores but something tells me you are not that important for me to have to stand up to ask you if you have an appointment… 95% of the time people walk in are either here for an appointment or are waiting for the restaurant next door and want to kill time trying on sunglasses. I am sitting at the receptionist desk doing paperwork and you want me to stand up to ask a person if they have an appointment? Greeting them I do without fail for every person but standing up?? Is it just me or is that stupid lol

I’m a young person working as a cashier for the first time at a new place. While working my 6 hour shift, I was not allowed to sit or even lean against the counter because my back would be towards the door. Every day I come home with my feet hurting like crazy and I starting to get blisters. I admit I’m not the most in shape I have ever been, but would it be unreasonable to ask for a chair to sit in between customers? I’m totally cool with standing while actively working, I just am not willing to stand for hours on end when no customers are coming in.

I have noticed in my job hunts that companies repeatedly contact me to fill out the EEO survey after I had applied. This is a list of questions about race, disability and veteran status. I know asking the questions is standard practice, but now I am receiving emails from employers requesting I complete the survey and this has never happened before. This seems odd in that I doubt the company gives a shit whether I do or not and I can’t see an obvious benefit for them. Can anyone shed some light?

Are you dreams broken yet? Do you still have hope?

Working at an Aldi is retail hell as is, but trust me when it can be worse with a shit manager. I haven't called in sick for a single day in the past 4 years I worked here, even though I have felt like shit some times, I just got to work. I work friday and sundays, and this week I accepted a third shift on saturday. Thursday I started to feel ill and couldn't hold food down, I texted my assistent manager thursday night and he told me to call the store number on friday morning before 9am. I call the number at 8 to tell them I am feeling ill and the first response is: “oh have you asked people to come work for you?” If I should have or not is besides the point imo because I feel like thats already a rude first response. I tell…

If I'm a wage earner and I leave your company under a non-compete clause – PAY ME. The non-compete is your requirement. If my IP is so valuable to your company that my working in my field is a detriment to your company – PAY ME Non-compete clauses are harmful to the wage earner. If the company insists on the clause, it should back it up with monetary compensation.
