Universal basic income is a very efficient solution that improves the condition of the unemployed people. This system allows part-time working and with a good implementation there is a minimal need for bureaucracy. Unemployment is not a crime, yet the unemployed people, depending on the country, are sometimes in worse conditions than people who are jailed. This is a discrace and the solution is universal basic income. It allows decent living for people who have lost their livelihoods for the reasons of corporate layoffs, scumbag bosses, illness and toxic workplaces.

Hello all, I would like to highlight that the Buffalo Niagara area still struggles with racism, which affects both private and public entities. Specifically, Roswell Park Cancer Corporation, a publicly funded organization, is dealing with several discrimination lawsuits involving its board member, Michael Joseph, and the corporation itself. I simply aim to increase people's awareness of where their donations and tax dollars are directed. It is important to understand the destinations and purposes of these funds, ensuring a clearer understanding of their impact and allocation. Roswell Park received and continues to receive both state and federal funding. Please look into these articles on past events of ongoing discrimination against doctors, staff, and patients. https://www.investigativepost.org/2023/03/27/roswells-unacceptable-response-to-racism/ https://buffalonews.com/business/local/roswell-park-has-paid-4-67-million-to-settle-discrimination-lawsuits-faces-more-complaints/article_a144661e-d3c3-11ed-96c7-337e214e2642.html https://www.investigativepost.org/2023/02/27/yet-another-roswell-lawsuit-alleging-bias/ https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/988302 https://www.wigdorlaw.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/1.31.Law360.Center-Booted-Doctor-Who-Raised-Safety-Issues.pdf https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/new-york/nywdce/1:2019cv01200/125521/28/

Misleading volunteer ads?
Maybe I’m a little ignorant because the only things I’ve volunteered for was stuff in high school/with friends because I was asked by an actual person I knew. But I came across a volunteer ad in my email for a local film festival, thought it sounded interesting and I’m a film buff so I started to fill out the application but after looking into it more I realized there were no dates listed in the email or on the application and discovered the festival is only two times a year, in April, which has obviously already happened, and then not until October. I guess it’s possible they need to figure things out ahead of time and the festival is completely legitimate and some fairly well known actors have attended so they probably have a lot of people apply for the volunteer position but this is still pretty misleading because the…
I started working a new job not even 60 days ago and put in my first HR complaint in my life due to my direct supervisors accusations of me being rude / offensive. For context I work as a line cook and have been accused of yelling when announcing the last of something / asking them for something since it’s out on the line (I.e: plates / garnishes). This lastest time was being told to “not ever” say “I love it” again. I was clear in my email to HR stating I only want it documented and would like to have it documented in case it escalates. These incidents conveniently happens when the supervisor above us both is on her weekend. Fast forward to not even a week after my complaint, I get two write ups in one sitting over unrelated, petty incidents. I can’t help but feel this is…

“Cost-saving measures”
I just watched the first 2 episodes and I really don't get it. In the show we're just following people around on the job and in their home life, with the occasional Barack Obama appearance or voice over (he and Michelle are executive producers) in which he shares the most service level basic facts about the US economy and it's work culture, or has a little chat with one of the people the episode focuses on. It feels so cynical for some reason
I (31) have worked as a bartender for the last ten years to make my way through school. Now I have my masters, have worked in screenprinting production, specialize in intaglio and lithography printing but there’s no jobs that pay more than 17 an hour. The service industry is weighing on me. After the pandemic, I’m not sure if anyone else has experienced this, but customers have become more demanding physically and emotionally. More over most bartenders I know are barely scraping by post covid. The industry is making me feel jaded. I’m getting married this year and we literally have no money. We can barely afford rent. Every entry level position nearby pays 20 dollars an hour is less. As it is I make 23. I feel too afraid to jump ship into another industry for fear of my livelihood. Sorry to whine and complain. I know many others…
Most of the time I love my job. It pays well and I usually only have to work afound 35 hours a week. I just had my quarterly review and was told part of the metrics they use to measure performance also includes if you participate in team activities. I wouldn't have a problem with this but these activities are on the weekends and not during office hours. We have a team activity today where they want us to all attend a sports game from 6-10pm. I absolutely hate sports. I would pay money to NOT go to a sports game. It's Saturday night and some of the only time I get with my SO. I dont want to spend it with my coworkers pretenting to enjoy a crowded, loud, hot sports game with shitty food. I feel like I'll get dinged on my next performance review if I don't…
