They’ve realized that they have risen prices and nothing has really changed, because we still have to buy groceries to survive. They will continue to do this until the cow can’t give any milk. That day, when the average citizen struggles to buy food, they’ll make whatever bullshit subscription service that will save you a little bit in exchange of a steadily income, and you’ll love it.
Well, the fun fact is that they trained me for 2 weeks only and now I have to assist him all the time…..he has 15y of experience in other areas and works from home (they don't allow me to work from home) and gets 20% more money than me. IS THIS FAIR? I'm gonna telly my boss that I want to wfh and more money or bye bye, do you think he will accept?
My girlfriend just got denied a job because she told them she needed those 3 days off for a camping trip and I don’t want the same thing to happen to me. What do I tell them that I could back up with something verifiable?
I work for a company that maintains servers for one of the major cloud service providers at their Data Centers. Let’s call them company Em. Company Em requires all employees and contractors (like me) to wear safety toed shoes inside their Data Centers at all times. I have a letter from a doctor stating that this exacerbates my knee injury, and causes me unnecessary pain. I normally work in the US, and this letter is good enough for the company Em management there. I’m in France for a month training new technicians. I sent this letter to the local Company Em management thinking it would be the same, especially in a country that has famously strong worker protections. I was wrong. Company Em management cancelled my access and had security escort me offsite in the middle of a repair task for one of their very expensive AI nodes. So I…
I joined this subreddit a few months ago and rarely have my interests aligned with a community so succinctly. I am the dirty, pinko commie in my family who thinks that “the pursuit of happiness” includes the relief of necessities like food, medicine, and shelter. How can one pursue happiness when one's only goal is survival? They are fundamentally mutually exclusive. So it is no surprise to me that the great majority of posts here are confessions of wage slaves, exposition of our capitalist overlords, and just the general shittiness of scratching and surviving in late stage Capitalism. But…what if I told you things are actually going to start getting better? What if I told you that all of us damned Millennials not reproducing at the expected rate is about to really come home to roost? Let me tell you a little story about The Black Death. In the mid…
This fast food restaurant, known for its donuts, also: – requires hours of unpaid online training, meant to be completed as “homework” – threatens termination for discussing wages Thankfully, I left very quickly as I had been interviewing and got accepted to a job that paid much higher soon after starting here. Most of my coworkers were college & high school students, though. I'm tired of being exploited for being young. Rent in this area is $1k for a 1 bedroom, yet jobs barely want to pay you over $10/hr or give you full time. Love being in the rural south!
Mark my words you will see multiple articles about how people don’t want to pay because they know they’re going to have to explain their inadequacy to the public somehow. They’re literally circulating like, 10 tweets from individuals who say they won’t pay to depict student debtors as bad to the bone. Imagine: you let people not pay for 3 years, and then you take funding away from loan servicers and cut their hours. This is a joke. There will be defaults that are not deserved and there will be IBR plans unprocessed and at the same time there will be people who have way longer than usual before wage garnishment starts. Let the games/punishment begin I guess🤷️ I know it would never happen but in my alternate universe nobody would pay until the government created debtors prison in front of the developed world. Actually, one could argue that if…
