Earnings reports that include the phrase “significant improvement in labor costs” make me want to scream.

But hey, at least the investors are happy.

It’s time…..

To eat the rich. Not figuratively, literally. Koch and Soro's, so each side is represented. They pit us against one another and then hoard their cash. Cook their old asses up and give everyone a bite of their filthy rich flesh. We need to give a clear and concise message that we're done with their shit and we're not putting up with it anymore. I'm a 52 year old lifelong conservative who has done everything the “right way”. I have a good “middle class job” making $60K a year. I own my property with improvements on it and cannot qualify to build a new home. Fuck these bastards! I worked my ass off, I saved, I raised five kids and these pricks won't even allow me to build a modest home on land I already own? Chomp, chomp, num, num…….

Advice for Promotion Interview(s)

Thanks to this sub I scored a job with a 40%+ increase not including benefits, NONE of which I had before. I was cold contacted by a recruiter for the company’s competitor looking for a managerial position. I have managed people in the past but not really. Long time ago and ancient history based on social changes just since Covid. I’m going to have it online for the first, any suggestions on how to respond about managing people? I believe management should be able to do everything their assigned team does. I believe that everyone is included or no one. I believe that every birthday is a free day off, that employees get an extra day off for holiday shopping. I don’t believe that seniority means that they get the best holidays or having kids allows extra time off nor should smokers get an extra break. But I do believe…

Just started a new job and its already interfering with classes to an extreme degree. What should I do?

A friend of mine who I was talking to about this mentioned that I should make a post here, figured it'd be worth a shot. Apologies for formatting, on mobile. So, at the moment I'm currently in college as a sophomore. The spring semester just ended and I figured I'd take a couple classes and get a part time job over the summer, make some money and all that. After applying all over the place I got a job at Jimmy Johns as a delivery driver. During the interview I was more or less fast tracked (Didn't discuss hours, pay, aside from mentioning I can't work Wed/Thurs, I've got some social anxiety and was initially just happy to be hired) During the interview I was told that I'd also be working in store when deliveries are slow, I figured that's fine, it makes sense. Right off the bat, I get…

My new job wants me to BUY their required work uniform at a specific retailer, even knowing I’m in poverty, and expects women to pay more than male new hires.

I recently got hired for a new job, it has been a struggle with rising costs, I have no family or other means of help, and have a small boy to take care of as a single-mother, so it's been incredibly hard to find a job after I was laid-off my previous one that couldn't handle the long-term damage from the covid times anymore. We didn't even get two weeks warning before they pulled the plug. I ended up finally getting a new job recently, especially after not hearing back from any of the social services yet I applied for, including Unemployment. I was relying on my now empty savings. I guess this is a consequence of my location being in the southern United States though that's not really my fault, but I'm guessing either a lot of people are on these same programs down here, or people are abusing…
