Those staff appreciation pizza parties hit even harder when you don’t eat dairy

But sure I feel very appreciated watching all my coworkers eat pizza all around me and there’s not a single thing I can eat there.

How do I communicate to work that my goal is not to move into management

Not really sure if this is the right sub for this I (30F) work a corporate job as a mid-level analyst. I get paid a very comfortable salary (100k in a MCOL area). I’m getting a little bored in my current position so I’m getting ready to start looking for a lateral move. I’ve been having a lot of career conversations with my boss, who has always made the assumption that my eventual career goal is to move up and into a management position, even though I’ve really never expressed that interest. I think because I’m young, a high performer, and in the earlier stages of my career he has jumped to this conclusion. For context, in the area I work I probably only have a few more steps up before I essentially plateau unless I go into management. For where I am in my life right now I’m perfectly…

Everytime I see the bullshit corporations and companies pull off, I feel more and more depressed.

It's as the title says I'm trying to get better in terms of my grades and my GPA in my college and I do want to become someone. Planning on probably taking my master's and then medical school after this but I might just do a masters to be honest but I'm also really concerned with how much bullshit is going on with the United States right now. I just see people abusing on employees and just destroying people's morale by calling stuff such as working your wage quiet quitting. I don't know what to do because every time I come into the subreddit I feel more and more depressed with how fucking bullshit The people in top are treating everyone else.

My boss just told me verbally not to discuss my pay or wages with my coworkers. What can I do?

I live in the USA, and I just started a new job. My direct boss, who is also the franchise owner, just approached me and told me verbally that I'm not allowed to discuss pay or wages with my coworkers because we're all on a different pay scale. I live in a two party consent state so I can't try to record him saying it again. What can I do to assert my rights as a worker?

Should I switch jobs? Help

I (23M) work one step above the entry level job type for a company that is top 10 in the world for its product. At the moment I work a first shift position and I very much enjoy the time I get after work to do whatever for the rest of the day. However, a sister plant has the same position open but it is a second shift schedule. The work there is similar but with a few key differences being that it’s way more laid back, really chill, no down time to be bored (while there’s a lot of slow days where I’m at right now), and being able to show up in some steel toes and call it good (I have to wear a lot of PPE everyday now). The problem being I’m in the middle of moving right now and would rather not complicate things further taking…

No matter how much you work, you’ll only become poorer. We must arrest the bankers.

Fuck politics. The only politics that matter are the people controlling the money and making us all serfs. If things are to ever get better, we must arrest the bankers. There will always be some little authoritarian ceo, manager, landlord, politician, but they are meaningless when the bankers drain our blood through money and debt.
