For context, this employer had no previous contact with me and didn't respond to any prior emails I sent. I withdrew my application as soon as I saw this o3o https://preview.redd.it/q0tcumrkzyh81.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=54b7e274358ece7c896a44e4b5fcc4ae2683ae75
Basically the title. I recently got promoted to a management position at a very large restaurant. Like, makes my year's salary in a day large. Employees here have good benefits, but the area CoL is vastly outstripping their pay. Off-the-street hires make nearly as much hourly as our most senior full time staff, and the union is doing fuck all about it. Now, part of my promotion is I'm no longer covered by the union, so organizing and going to union meetings is off the table. Also, due to contracts, myself and my direct superior have no authority to give raises, all raises have to be negotiated. But I watch these people bust their asses day in and day out, for what is no longer a liveable wage in my area. Don't get me wrong, I am extremely pro-union. This is literally the first time in my working life I…
I've noticed this in looking up job advertisement buzzwords here and here and here. Though to be fair, i first searched for 'job advertisement buzzword code”. A second search of 'Job advertisement red flags' seems to give you more inline results with what 'red flag' suggests, but from less prestigious websites seen here and here. In searching “what job advertisement buzzwords really mean” i feel we got quite a bit clearer here but it still mostly rather vague and watered down like here. One calls 'Fast paced': “Do you do well with last-minute work, unexpected fire drill assignments, unplanned late hours, and multiple deadlines? Use of this word in a job description can imply long hours. It may also indicate a company in flux, or prone to unexpected changes in direction.” Which seems completely false to me. It typically means your going to be ground to the bone under work…
I don’t want to give too many details (I am in contact with a lawyer), but in short I made a joke at work and the manager decided to tell another employee to slap me for it. I said that I did not consent to being slapped, and said that it was assault after I was slapped. The manager then laughed it off and left after saying that “he can’t do it because he’s a supervisor but my co worker can.” After he left the co-worker who slapped me apologized and I don’t really blame her as she needs the money from the job and didn’t want to risk any trouble with management. In my first few weeks of employment I was asked why I was changing my gloves so often. This is a food service job, and I sure as fuck wouldn’t want cross contaminated food if I were…
The unprecedented level of job switching seen last year as the U.S. labor market rebounded from the pandemic gave workers more leverage to ask for better pay and played a role in pushing inflation to its highest level in decades, a new study suggests. An increase in the share of people who searched for jobs while they were employed helped boost inflation by about 1 percentage point throughout much of last year, according to a paper released on Monday by the Chicago Federal Reserve. That suggests job-switching at times accounted for roughly 20% of the price growth seen in 2021. “Workers' propensity to search for another job is an important driver of inflation,” said Leonardo Melosi, a senior economist for the Chicago Fed and a co-author of the report. People who search for new work while they still have a job can end up with higher salaries – and more…

Good landlord’s should build character.
Many on this sub are angry about increasing rent. However as a landlord myself I can firmly say that most of the renters I've had have picked up more jobs, and slept just a little less since I raised rent. Not to mention that my renters are a lot nicer after I threaten to evict them. As a landlord I find it is my responsibility to take care of my tenants and character helps people become successful(I don't do it for myself). I love being a landlord and I hope you all become better people through the renting process.
