Seems like our Canadian friends know how to tell their government to sort shit out. On the other hand most people here seem to accept min wage jobs but just want a liveable wage. Is that really people's aspirations?

A few terms/things you should know. Buying power= this is basically how much you can buy with a given amount. Like lets say if you can buy 1 thing of gum with $1 today, but tomorrow it takes $2. The buying power of money decreases, where if tomorrow you can buy a thing of gum with 50 cents. The buying power increases. This is highly important because year over year, it is estimated you need to have a take home profit at minimum 5% more per year just to keep up with the prior rate of decrease buying power on average. Now it is closer to 15% or 20%. I don't know of a term for this, and looking into it I don't think there is even one. But basically you need to know how your pay in a given job/career field changes over time compared to the increase/decrease of…

So, I can't tell if I am crazy or not. So I applied for this job and it was posted online in the newspaper but then you had to go to the companies website and apply there. It said that the job was from $13-$15 an hour based on experience Okay, fine, so I go to the interview and one of the managers are interviewing me and it's going pretty well I think and they ask me how much I am asking for . I tell them that I want $15 an hour because I am a good worker and I have all this experience, yada yada yada…. And the hiring manager looks a little taken aback and she goes “We don't start at $15/hour. We never did. I don't think anyone here makes $15 an hour.” And I politely point out that on their website it says that the…

Are small business owners allowed to post here? Is the community interested in (some of) our perspective?

Have tried to build an Amazon type servicr but worker own sure I know is a lot of money but I am sure if some try and build an union Amazon like services it might work not to excuse or defend Amazon but to compete with them. If you answers are disrespectful thanks.

Recently I've gotten a fully remote job. My main reason for taking this job is being able to fuck around on discord/google/reddit while I'm working and truthfully if I get fired for it I won't be too sad since it's the only thing that makes the job worthwhile for me. I'm confident I can do my job and meet all the stats/metrics required. But I'd rather fly under the radar and I have a few questions: 1) If I remotely connect to my work laptop from a personal computer (remote access) can my employer see what I'm doing on my personal computer outside of that virtual desktop? 2) How much can an employer realistically see of what I'm doing when using their desktop? Everything? 3) If the above two are a no go, is there any way an employer might see that I'm on a separate laptop if I've got…

I worked at a supermarket and it was awful! For 7 1/2 hours of my day, I would stand outside cleaning trolleys while having to deal with angry customers due to covid restrictions. I had just turned 17 at the time I started and honestly, I didn't get paid enough for that shit! I was threatened multiple times by guys about twice my size just for doing my job. Management we're soft as fuck and so disconnected from the floor staff. They overlooked shift restrictions because of my age and I was working illegal hours for over a year. It was them who realised the mistake and they were essentially laughing over it when they told me. That said, I still didn't want to get a negative reference for my new job so I text my manager “Got to run, I just shat myself.” He said, “no worries” and I…
