Well, my boss is a fuking prck. After almost 4 years spent overcoming and withstanding his tantrums, I can't stand working for him any longer and I'm finally about to quit in the next week. I've planned to take a long break and live the “good life” (at least for a while) but I'm worried about my financial situation: do you have any ideas on how I can make some money online with the least amount of effort possible? I'm frugal so I don't really need a 6 figures but the idea of not having an income scares the shit out of me. Ty.

So i work at the vet chain that is owned by that candy company. I work full time and my hours along with everyone else’s got cut due to according to management high payroll. Was it just my location or are there any other employees who can confirm it happened to them to?

Greetings Subredditors I'm looking for thoughts from anyone who may be (or have been) in a similar situation to where I currently find myself. For the last 20 years, I have been working and gaining experience and qualifications in my corporate niche of Business Resiliency. It's interesting work. I am bloody good at getting Business Leaders and their teams to think about what they would do to keep their Business processes running in case of any diverse impacts to their ability to work. I am qualified in and have built out, Crisis Management programmes. I have ensured that a Fortune 100 company continued working throughout Covid, war in Eastern Europe, political unrest in various countries and global regions, through adverse weather events and impacts of Climate Change. I'm good at my job. I love seeing the “Aha moments” when people start to think “What if..?” And are able to plan…

I am seeing a failure to point out the elephant in the room – capitalism. Giving excessive power to companies to run affairs as they wish. Companies want to dictate what their employees can or cannot do even IN THEIR FREE TIME – nO mOoNlIgHtInG !!! But when it's time for companies to play their end of the bargain, they fire thousand of workers – some working for the same company for 20 or 30 years, some on their maternity leaves, some having just relocated to a foreign country – it just doesn't matter to companies! Its capitalism that has allowed companies to exploit employees like parasites What will it take for workers to realize capitalism is the root cause of this problem? Number of laid off employees, by company: Twitter: 3,500 Google: 10,000 (expected) Microsoft: 11,000 (expected) Amazon: 18,000

On the 1st week back after Christmas my partner got called in to a big meeting with the company saying they're making his entire team redundant because the project can't be funded anymore. The company is a massive Indian company and instead of transferring my partner to a different project, they make you reinterview for any position that comes up on a dofferent project. We live in the north, have a house, tennancy agreement and the only things they offered him where 4 hours away. Luckily he found a new position and his bosses said they were “surprised” to hear about his resignation!!!! Surprised when you make them all redundant 1 week after Christmas instead of transferring the team to a new project nearby? Why not just hire people on temporary contracts instead? Instead of lying about their job security!

For context, I worked for a local manufacturing company. I worked there from Feb 2019-Oct 2021 and then went to a construction company for a few months and went back to them June 2022 til today. So I worked for them for about 3 years. I was terminated today due to “performance and attendance.” My position was where I was one of two dedicated machine operators across three 8 hour shifts. That company is about to go to 4 10 hour shifts with every other Friday, some Saturdays based on demand. My direct supervisor can operate the machine but has stated he can’t work the 10 hour schedule. My productivity was always above 90% and my quality was always on point. Yes, i did miss work due to stuff going on outside of work that couldn’t be helped. But they still decided to fire me anyways. Citing that since I…
