I am hoping to get a few ideas as to whom I could write a strongly worded letter to about work conditions and possible violations of labor laws. I'm in IL.

One of the mot evil companies out there. If they have no tech employees they will fail and they are not a necessity and won’t continued to be used around the world if they have no tech employees. If you work on the tech side of amazon please work somewhere else. You have valuable experience and a remote job

We should all start demanding that check out clerks and greeters, etc get chairs to sit in. It’s ridiculous that this is not already common practice.

In my country we have minimum wage and also guaranteed salary, which depends on your job category by dificulty and responsibility. Today i realise my salary wasn't raise two years in a row ️ (My fault, i should know about that law, but we pay 'salary accounter' whos responsibility is control and comply with the law.) My boss constantly cry about that we don't make enough money, which is not true because i see in to the system. Yes we don't make enough money to feed their 6 horses, a farm, a pig and a flock of hens. Tomorrow i will send long email. Sorry for my english, its not my first language. I am so stressfull and upset and disapointed right now

Still in my first 90 days. One of my duties is to track the attendance of 75 people, broken down into three shifts. Morning, Swing, and Graveyard. Plus the 5-10 people that do another role within the company, ie maintenance etc. They just started enforcing the attendance policy and gave me a craptrastic excel sheet to record every employees attendance. It is not cohesive, it is a tiny list and half our employees are related, so many have the same last name. I simply could not keep up with people during a two week covid outbreak and made errors on the sheet and got written up for it-we had up to 25 people calling out every day. Today my manager and I sat down and she could hardly manage to maneuver it…and made error after error. I get paid barely above minimum wage, if this is SO important and ties…

I have been working at a public charter school for the last 7 years and I have thoroughly enjoyed my job that entire time. Working with kids is my passion and there is so much I have learned about myself in all this time. When covid first hit I considered leaving because I thought the practices in my district were going to get people killed (which they did, but thats not the focus of my post) and I nearly turned in my resignation. I stayed from then and I have poured everything into being a model to these kids in the darkest time we have faced for a long while. But last week, my boss emailed me and said that I was not going to have a position at my school next year. I feel so betrayed and disrespected and the labor situation between me and my bosses has been…

I work for a pretty big eclectic company. I joined the IBEW in May of 2021, and I'm not an apprentice, I'm a CW (Construction Wireman) so the company sees me as cheap labor. I work in solar, but since winter is the “slow season” its been hard getting projects to work on. I got a call back during the last week of September 2021 saying I was going to sit for a week or two. I didn't mind since it would only have been a few weeks. But now its going on 5 month and my crew I was with has been working the entire time. Being in the trade for such a short time, I'm not very good at the job. I'm a bit of a slow learner and I've been getting hazed by my co-workers for being new. I've been finding odd jobs to bring in money…

I don't get why people in this community still want to keep the monetary system when everyone knows that in a few years/decade automation is going to handle most labors regardless of we want it or not. Think about it, in a society without money automation is beneficial to everyone, but in a monetary system automation benefits only the elites!

My manager told me today he's be giving $100 gift cards to a hand full of u.s. employees who worked on a successful project. I asked what about the India employees who also worked on the same project. He said he'd give them each 2000 rupes. I believe that's the equivalent of like $26. I thought maybe he made a conversion error and pointed it out. He says, “It's fine, that's a lot of money for Indians.” This seems wrong. Or am I wrong?

Hi all, I made a post a couple of weeks back on r/curlyhair talking about my experience with my supervisor (I'll link it below). Today I have a new story for ya'll with the same supervisor, so here we go. Please be warned, it is lengthy. If you've come across my last post then you'll know I work in the laundry department and as a custodian. My supervisor is someone I'd like to describe as power-hungry. If you are not at her beck and call at work 24/7 she will find anything to criticize and reprimand you for. Last Saturday I was on custodian duty. Custodians at my workplace have a cleaning cart and a list of all the tasks that need to be done for the day attached to the said cart. Amongst the duties listed, there is a little note on the lobby clean-up that reads “Lobby by…
