I moved this year and had sent my boss a message to confirm he knew this and confirm he sent my W-2 to my new address. I’m pretty sure he sent it to my old address and when I asked him about it he just said “I assume you had gotten your mail forwarded this should not be a problem” well dude, obviously the W-2 you sent last month did not get forwarded so resend my fucking W-2??? Any action I can take here? He’s a pretty nice guy but I don’t really feel like asking him again

So I am super anti work and have always been. I will leave a job without finding another when I’m disrespected and now have been doing gig work so I can work my own schedule- until I build something I’m passionate about. My question though is that my partner works an office job and is just absolutely miserable. She’s worked for this company for about 20 years and she’s super depressed and over worked etc but doesn’t know what she’d do if she left. I keep telling her she’ll figure it out and that this job isn’t worth it but she still stays. It’s getting to the point where I really can’t hear about it anymore, or see her this unhappy … but like. What do I do?

Hello all, As most of you, I’m a very vocal anti-corporate advocate with friends and family. This can be a bit awkward since I grew up in a country in which there’s a very strong culture of “just being thankful you have a job”, which results in a lot of company ass-kissing by employees (which makes me sick). Anyway, something that my acquaintances have brought up from time to time is that it’s easy for me to be like that because I’m in computer science and have had great jobs, and great prospects for future employment (which is a fair observation). But I want to tell you today a story of one of my first jobs in high school. I was 17 and working for a big chain of big retail stores. Working conditions were atrocious as per usual for such jobs, but there are two incidents that I remember…

Hello everybody, I'll have to serve my notice period, but I'm quitting following a post I read on here about leveling up and hopping jobs to level up salary. I've been where I'm at for a few years, had some excellent results for the company (£400k+ in saving each year) and they've done very well. Meanwhile, I was deducted a few hundred from my 2% annual bonus because the company hadn't done as well as they had hoped overseas. My workload has exponentially increased, some people have left and I've consumed their workload without any reward as “it's good experience”. I'm the only one that manages several key aspects of the company, again because of “good experience” and not for any kind of reward. Following the job-hopping post here and after receiving the pathetic bonus I put my CV online. Had several agents immediately contact me and offer interviews. The…

You want coverage 24/7/365 and outside of normal hours? Hire a second and/or third shift. Enough of this bullshit, we need a employees bill of rights, salaried positions need to be done away with.
