I can see why a lot of companies do the scummy things they do as they give them more money or power/control over employees. But I have a hard time seeing how paying new workers more than current ones benefits them. Is it a side effect of the company being desperate to fill a roll so they have to rase the wage to fill the gaps? Or is it an intentional strategy they use to run off current older workers?

Am I in the wrong for asking my co -worker To stop organising meeting on the open space? team meeting client’s call on speaker parties The space is shared by 4 teams…. I have expressed my concern But the answer was: it is not like we do it everyday… Please let me know….

I know that this sub is mostly focused on pointing out the shitty situations the majority of us deal with working in the absolutely fucked job market we all have to live in but I wanted to share some good news from where I work. I work at a non profit so the pay isn't that great, which is standard in this kind of work since you know non profit, but its enough to keep my head above water which had gotten harder to do since the pandemic but some of that is made up for with good bennies. Come yesterday I got an email that my director fought for a 10% increase in pay to all of our staff to specifically combat inflation and that is on top of our regular annual raises. It really makes me feel appreciated and honestly the work we do and people I work…

A couple of months ago on a local server's group, I made a little bit of a name for myself for calling out a local corrupt business who was stealing wages from their employees and all around abusing them. Fast forward to last night, a server from a different local restaurant reached out to me to ask if it's normal for employers to take portions of their overall tips, as well as portions of their hourly pay for taxes. What's catching me is that what's pulled isn't based on the tips they declare but rather their sales. As we all know, Wage Theft is the most commonly committed form of theft, and Servers are specifically at risk of wage theft. I'm a bit of a numbers guy but I'm no accountant. Are there resources out there showing how to check and see if your employer is unfairly taking wages from…

This feels like it’s one of those things where it might be legal but it’s a huge red flag. I’m autistic so I might be tripping but I’ve never worked at a place that did this
