To try and condense this, i was workingbin one department and without asking me they told me one day that I'm upstairs in a different department and the change was permanent. When this happened the higher up in charge of this change told me i would keep my rate of pay for line operation, but just work in the upstairs blending department. I checked my ADP app after getting a suspiciously lower check than normal and found out they had lowered my pay and i wasn't notified. Is this legal? What should i do about this. I'm currently waiting to speak with said upper management.

I must admit that dividing tasks has undeniably freed and enriched most humans.  If we tried to provide all of our necessities for ourselves, we’d be restricted to subsistence farming–a precarious lifestyle marked by suffering that doesn’t strike me as particularly fulfilling to the spirit (no shade against those who choose that path–that’s just how I see it from afar). However, if maximizing revenue isn’t our only goal and we value a complete experience of human existence, division of labor comes with noxious psychological and spiritual effects.  Mainly, it limits people to fragments of themselves.  When people engage exclusively in one way of thinking (or in even more tragic industrial cases, one way of moving), they tend to identify only with that narrow experience and “outsource” everything else to others. I see this in starkest terms at advertising agencies, where departments are literally named after thinking modes (“creative,” “strategy”) that…

I was written up and almost terminated for an act between 3 other employees where during this period i was off the clock. 90 Days ago some coworkers got into a verbal argument, while i was @ lunch and when i returned i was asked to sit in as a witness while they were disciplined. My manager was on vacation so it fell to me. Solutions were discussed and then enforced said solutions afterwords. Now 3 months later my GM requests me to write a witness statement to the events that transpired that day. Task completed, the following day i have to sign a discipline form like #3 (iirc) the one before termination. I cant for the life of me understand why im being disciplined when im not the manager or even being paid during the altercation. P.S. i am still very angry, so some of grammar is FK'd atm.

My boyfriend has not received a large sum of his pay that was supposed to be due all the way back in December 2022. What are some resources I can send him that can help him make a claim. Location: PA USA So far he is in contact with his accountant for proof and records he’s never been paid (and paid taxes on it already), is going to get a consultation from a law office, and filed a form with the PA labor relation board. Is there anything else he needs to be aware of?

I’m getting sick and tired of my job. I’m in marketing and when I was hired in January 2022, I was hired with another person who we’ll call Janice. Janice is in every way, the life of the office and keeps our department afloat. She digs her hands into everything because she’s passionate and wants to make it “the best it can be”. At first our bosses loved this and would get her involved. But over time, as they started making decisions that Janice didn’t agree with, they started cutting her out. Our department head basically told her she’s not to come to him anymore with anything and go straight to our manager… while also touting our office as an open dialogue-type environment. They intentionally don’t tell her things so that she won’t “cause problems” except them not saying anything is causing more issues. Like for example this morning we…

I'm on day 3 of covid (which I got at my boss's wedding might I add) and to quote a show I've never watched a full episode of, “everything hurts and I'm dying.” Obviously I'm not going into work. Less obviously, at least to me, they want me to find coverage for my shifts. Which is great because my head is entirely full of cotton wool so what that looks like is me being the middleman in extremely long telephone game email chains where I get told to ask so-and-so if they could come in at this time and when I say they can't then I get told to ask whoever else if they can extend and really it would be easier for everyone if I was removed entirely from the equation. Easier for me obviously, but also easier for the people getting confusing emails and for the person trying…
