Like I understand where these people are coming from, or I can see their point. But if I was smart enough to get a collage or even a uni graduation, I'd be asking for 100,000 to 250,000 yearly. We should be encouraging people to be more educated and also fix the god damn education system.

I've been homeless before and it fucking sucks, especially when it's -20 Celsius outside and you need to take a bus just to stay barely warm. it's also impossible to get a job while you're homeless as you won't have an address and no one wants to hire someone that doesn't have a housing situation on lock. This is brainstorming on how to promote lending vacant homes to homeless people to make for a more productive overall society and people overall happier. This is a major issue in North America especially and if it was solved then it would be an overall win/win for all involved as corps and small businesses get cheaper labour while homeless people get to live in a warm house. There are 17 million empty homes while there are 0.5 million homeless people (2018 figures). How do we make it affordable to lend housing units to…

So I worked as a florists at a grocery store popular down south called Piggly Wiggly. Now I have zero experience being a florists and both managers knew this when hiring me. But everyday when I came into work there was something I didn't do correctly and “You should know better.” How can I know better when I never been a florists and I hardly been trained enough to do this job. So I had two managers. I had Sallg who was my direct manager she looked after everything in the floral department then there was Miss Ann she was the Manager of the Bakery AND floral, does that make sense no, no it does not. I worked there for 4 months and I really tried my hardest until I realized my hardest was got going to be good enough for them. Every day if I didn't water the plants…

There are quite a few jobs in the area paying less than state minimum wage, some even at a factory, and just wondering what I could do? One is a big retail chain too

I'm a young skilled labor, mechanic in my early 20's; I have to work a second job just to keep my head above water. Oh wait, I'm still drowning in medical debt as a result of having to lift heavy shit all the time. Back issues, hernia, and I'm the most stressed I've ever been. Can you imagine almost getting killed or disfigured approximately 2 to 5 times a year as a result of faulty shop equipment or general labor hazards? Did you know that I've never even seen an OSHA official in my entire life? This luxury can be yours for $13/hour. Happy job hunting fellas

Hi, obligatory not a native English speaker, so English is probably going to come off extremely formal. I also apologize if this is the wrong sub for this, I just don't know where else to post this. I'm currently in the middle of serving my two-month notice before onboarding to a new company. I'm leaving my old company for a lot of reasons, but the main one being they told me I had ten sick days and ten vacation days when I first accepted the job. However, they failed to inform me then about utilization. Basically, if I wanted to take a vacation day on a Friday – that's 8 working hours – I needed to work 10 hours on Monday, Tuesday, etc. to offset my leave. Otherwise, it's going to take a toll on my utilization. I initially thought this was just about bonuses, like keep it at 97…

It's not uncommon for Denmark to be brought up in discussions about the American system, both as a good and bad example. So I just wanted to clear up any questions about my wonderful, yet flawed homeland, and share my experience as a newcomer to the work scene. I may be pretty vague regarding some questions as to not break rule 8. Ask away!
