I was wondering if any one here has ever done this to a company? I know a company that might be doing NON SEC compliant and would like to send off information and see how it goes. I mean I could be wrong but never know if they might actually find something.

I have been sick since Sunday of this week and had to take 4 days sick leave. Now, when I logged in today for work, my manager asked me to work on Saturday and Sunday. I told him it would not be possible as I would be working 8 days straight till next Friday. He has asked me to reconsider as there is no one else to work on this project and deadline is next Friday. Dammit hire more people. I am already slogging 12 hours a day right now and been working 4 Sundays in a row last month.

Why with the wealth gap of the middle class at the greatest disparity ever. With companies still making record profit along with record inflation, with billionaires paying less income tax than the average joe, why aren't we on a general workers strike nation wide? Seriously why not? Go on strike and force congress to actually pass a law that prevents billionaires from loop holing out of income tax. Literally make them pay their paltry 34% income tax. Every sector, every city. It's taken place in the past in cities, and it works. So what's stopping us? What's the biggest hold up? teachers, truckers, grocery store workers, gas station attendants, cleaners, nurses, police, fire, everyone! Or even specifically for individual sectors? Nation wide teacher strike for actual school funding, better teacher pay, protections from academic censorship. Truckers… actually protesting what matters???? Like bullshit contractor labels, scammed out of pay during loading/unloading,…

Pretty much what the title says, lol. I expressed curiosity and interest in other departments of the company. I had a conversation with someone (maybe 5-10 minutes) and because I did this during a rough period of the company’s recruiting hours, literally specific hours set aside during the day— completely disrupting the work flow that might be worked on— this led to being let go. I’m not terribly upset because I knew that I hadn’t seen myself at the company for forever, but it still kinda sucks. On top of telling me to get lost and clean out my desk, my manager told me ‘I’d be willing to consider keeping you if you get a contract in the next two weeks’ knowing full and well that I was placed in one of the most difficult and slowest teams of recruitment of our department and movement of the disciplines don’t happen…

I have a friend of the family that owns a business and told me I can just increase my time worked for them indefinitely to explain the employment gaps

TL:DR Where are the people at the top who aren't heartless assholes and want to see the working class live better? Why don't we see them participating more on this subreddit? Why are we finding it, as the much larger percentage of disadvantaged people compared to the minority of wealthy, so difficult to effect positive change? I see a lot of us folks posting and commenting here are in the same boat. Underpaid, overworked and highly unappreciated. But there has to be some folks on here out of the 1.7 million plus members who work white collar jobs, or are headed in that direction that share our values and sentiments. Where are y'all at? Why does it seem to be so difficult to effect positive change when the working class is what keeps our economy running? Where are all the left wing idealist liberals who could effect positive social change…

I’m not sure where else to put this. My wife’s (27) fed loan ($20,000+) just got off loaded to a third party (semi owned by the feds). I feel that this may be an attempt to offload federal student loans before the forbearance is up and/or offload to reduce the number of loans to “forgive” in a federal student loan forgiveness. May be nothing; just wanted to share our experience. Edit: The loan is being transferred to “Nelnet”

No big important point, just saying, I’m not raising or making their underpaid labor force. Capitalism treats everyone like shit but women get criminalized and targeted especially for unpaid exploitation under capitalism. A baby is a shackle and a chain in America. The state uses babies and families to exploit and control women and female bodies of childbearing age. The state will use the threat of abusing your babies in foster care to control and exploit you and keep you in poverty, rather than make child care an institution. The white boomer 70s feminist agenda of “women in the workplace” didn’t help families prosper except for a small group of Regan era girl bosses, it made working women poorer because it gave an influx of underpaid labor to shitty service jobs. Those jobs don’t have benefits or child care. They are worthless drains of time. Fuck your lean in, girl…
