I cant believe i used to consider my self a “right leaning” guy and i thought trump was some honest guy who cant be bribed (because he is rich) and “wants to fix america”. I truly was a drooling idiot. the republicans have been flying immigrants illegally with planes..just to keep YOUR wages down, and use them as slave labor. they are trying to legalize 14y to work cleaning the yachts of the rich, to keep YOUR wages down. and now they are bitching and moaning that you DARE to boycott an evil corporation. when you protest peacefully they beat you up and spray you. When you boycott…they get a little angry.

My job has been hell for the last two years and is getting worse. Over the last few weeks, a small number of new hires have banded together, enlisted the aid of our director ( with ample flattery) and so far have forced out my direct supervisor as of today. I am the only guy who works here during the day ( between 11 am and 930pm). I've been pulled into several meetings were I get told ab things “people” are saying about me. I don't work with that many people so it's easy to figure out. One of the three new hires was hired to be what basically amounts to an assistant supervisor, except she hasn't actually done the job in 15 years. Yesterday my director ambushed me into a meeting while my supervisor was out. She mentioned that someone ( once again, under ten people) overheard me say…

Hey everyone. For a while I've been lurking here but I wanted to finally post here since I'd like to have some things cleared up when it comes to The Act. I'm a supervisor at a Goodwill, it has a policy that says you're not allowed to discuss wages, doing so will end up in a pretty big punishment (writeup, possible firing). They say it's because if you make more than someone they might get jealous or some shit, I don't know. What I do know is that's not the real reason. I know this is illegal, since pay discussion is protected at the federal level. I asked the ASM to tell me why we can't, pretending I didn't know. She said that, and I replied by saying that discussion of pay is federally protected, she said I still shouldn't do it. Didn't say anything else because I didn't want…

Okay so I have looked over fair labor laws regarding tips and this is kind or specific. Unsure of the legality of this situation and wondered if anybody knows if this is legal or could point me on the right direction. We are in Colorado. My husband works at a sort of fast-food restaurant. They pool tips and distribute them once a week amongst the crew. I was not aware of this policy, but apparently of you call out during that week on the same day as your shift, any day, they revoke your tips for the whole week and take you out of the pool. He has serious stomach issues and was bleeding when he went to the bathroom one day last week. This is something that happens due to a medical condition, and he has no idea when it is going to flare up, and it likely flared…

Hey guys! I have worked in a firm in India for almost 1 year and have resigned few days ago but when I requested my manager to shorten my notice period (which is of 2 months) for genuine reasons, manager said he can leave me early but as per my offer letter, if I opt for the choice of not serving the full notice period, I need to pay the company that many days of salary which I will not be serving. When I showed my offer letter to my HR and manager stating that there is no mention of notice period buyout, HR said then there is only 1 option, I have to serve for 60 days. Also, my manager who is also my TL assigned me a new story the day I resigned and pressurising me to give my 100%. He is complaining the HR almost everyday and…

I extremely dislike those obscure tests companies make you take to profile you. Fuck those Kolbe and DISC tests which are the ones people ask me for the most. Employers always ask for these stupid things so I just save old ones and give them those. God what a waste of life those are and most the time I think 2 or 3 of these 4 options all work for this stupidly obscure and useless question. On top of that, these things take like an hour to do! Ugh time I will never get back. Short story – in regards to the DISC test, I had an inconclusive result on part of it the first time I took it, then again the second time about 2 weeks later and then AGAIN the third time I took it a year later. Hah it was saying I didn’t feel settled in where…

Hey all, as I'm sure many here can relate to, I'm reaching my breaking point with work. Not my specific job necessarily, but having to work period. It's an aspect of my life that for whatever reason is existentially difficult, like aging, sickness and death. And by work I mean alienated labor for a wage which mostly gets spent on enriching my landlord and corporate shareholders, etc. I am quite happy to labor away on shit that actually means something to me. Now, while theoretically the world could change, I doubt I will ever see it in my lifetime, so I have to somehow psychologically and spiritually reconcile myself to having to do things I don't want to do for most of my life to make other people wealthy. It just is what it is. That being said, I have no idea how to do this. After COVID I was…
