First, I hate the word “landlord” and only use it for lack of a better term. Let’s create our own term for it. How about: SOCIALIST HOUSING PROVIDER (SHP?) Now, why do we need SHPs and how can they operate as socialist when it’s wrong to make a living off of things that are necessary to life? First, it’s not wrong to make a living off of things like food, water, healthcare, etc. This is a lie that sneaky capitalists perpetuate so that socialism will sound like many people have to work hard to allow lazy, greedy people to live lavish lives. The REAL problem we have with these services is that capitalist landlords are all about profit instead of providing an affordable, valuable and necessary service to people. Not everyone wants to own a home. Some people like to move from place to place and not be tied to…

I'm a medically retired veteran, so I have a lot of free time and a little pension. Not a lot, but enough to get by. Lately I've been thinking about getting a job to make a little extra, so I can pay off my debt faster, splurge on anything I really want to buy, and help people I know if they fall on hard times. Been reading a lot lately about anti-work situations. People not putting up with BS at work just because it's expected of them. Retail workers quitting on the spot because management won't have their back against rude customers, people leaving because their HR will screw them over if they complain about hostile work conditions, that kind of thing. I've also heard from a lot of people who would love to stand up for themselves, or for the defense of others, but they simply can't afford it.…

I feel like between all the potential incentives/perks/benefits, the hierarchy, whether to be/join a union or not, and especially given the experience of all of us out in the world enough to contribute to the popularity and gravity of this sub… this question has been on my mind a bit lately. For some context, I’ve been in trucking/logistics for over a decade and some of that time was in lower management. There are both union companies and non- and for sure that word is taboo amongst freight carriers. Having spent some time being forced to implement policies and discipline outliers and eventually leaving my last company because of it… it’s been floating around in my mind for awhile. I’m thinking that various services and companies would obviously benefit being structured in a particular manner, but I’m considering from more of a ‘morale and retention’ sort of lane, than a “crunch…

My employer is offering a very generous retention bonus for nurses who stay with the company for a certain amount of time. But only RNs. Not LPNs, CNAs, kitchen staff. No other employees. And only RNs in certain specialties. What about everyone else? My department (the kitchen) is horribly short staffed. There is no reason for them to stay. What about us? Do we not matter?

Hello Everyone, I come from one of the non-EU countries and work as a Senior Systems Engineer (IT) in one of the EU countries. Due to covid I had lost my job back in 2020 and struggled to find a job for 8 months as no organization was ready to sponsor me a visa. A year ago my current company had posted a job on Indeed stating the salary range would be €40-55k/annum which was confirmed by the HR as well. After I cleared the interview, the HR offered me €35k salary. I tried negotiating, also said this is not what it was mentioned by you or on the Indeed job portal but the HR said this is what we can offer you (their tone was like take it or leave it). The job market was on a turmoil and I needed a visa so I accepted it. Moreover, they…

USA question Can anyone who works in the restaurant industry confirm this?! I have been trying to leave them good tips but I always pay with card online but I keep hearing more things about how the employees don’t get it, but corporate does?!
