I was a 3-time employee of the month and became pregnant unexpectedly. Told my boss and she cut my hours. On Thursday, the food bank gave me moldy food. I just need the universe to give a break

I'm just venting because I'm frustrated and really am tired of being kicked when I'm already down. I just need the universe to give me a bit of a break so I can breathe. I found out I was pregnant and I'm currently over 15 weeks. Wasn't in a serious relationship, wasn't even going to tell the guy who got me pregnant (despite me taking birth control religiously and him using a condom) but my roommate felt he “needed to know” so she told him, now he wants to be involved. I don't think abortion is something I could go through with myself and my ex fwb / baby daddy refused to discuss adoption of any type. he knows he's going to have to pay child support because I refuse to let him get out of this when it took us both to get me pregnant. I went ahead and…

Sent this email to HR after realizing that my paychecks are tiny, am I being stupid here?

I’ll be honest, I don’t understand how taxes work. I just don’t get how I could receive $500 and $120 for the same amount of work (possibly with a small amount of overtime)

Just got fired less than 2 days before the end of my one year probation period.

Hi y'all, first time this has ever happened to me. I started working for TSA one year ago, and honestly I should've listened to the red flags I was seeing when I started. But I was too blinded by hopes of a decent work schedule and rumors of a pay raise. Then I got stuck on the 4AM start time, and was stuck there. Waking up that early has to be the most grueling thing. Anyways, I was trying to survive my schedule, waiting for the next shift bid, which was to start the same day I hit my one year, which would've also entitled me to a bonus as well. But I called out semi frequently as I wasn't getting enough sleep, or on some nights, no sleep at all. There's honestly nothing worse that laying in bed in the dark trying to fall asleep for 8 plus hours.…

Are there safe ways we could signal to each other at work that we’re on the same page? I feel like at least a few coworkers are on this sub but I’m afraid to ask.

Homeless men say they were recruited to pose as displaced vets

This comes from where I used to live in NY. The kicker, even after doing the shady stuff, they got nothing but food from a below average diner and some toiletries probably bought at a Dollar Store.

Starting Unions

Anyone here who could give useful tips or advice for starting a union? My wife works at a hospital and conditions have recently gotten more dangerous and people have been quitting from her department. Online says a union must be 30% of a company. Does that mean of her department or the entire hospital? I also googled nearby unions and union reps but came up empty handed. Any information or advice would be greatly appreciated

Was offered to do freelance in my previous job

Not sure if this is the right sub but here goes. So I left my previous job 3 months ago (currently working for a new and better company). Yesterday, the operations director called me and ask if I can do freelance work for them because my replacement is “useless”. ​ Back Story: I worked in that company for three years. Even if the boss was moody, he was generally fine. I like my job. I know this is antiwork sub but I just like what I do. It's always the management or boss that sucks. For anyone that's curious, I'm a web developer. I like programming. Anyway, this boss eventually realize that I can pretty much do any kind of website that the client wants so he started accepting more website work and always suggest to clients these unique features. I don't mind. I have a software engineering background and…
