What stage of capitalism have we reached where doing car repairs pays as much as my first job as a grocery bagger?

Crap bosses are everywhere even at volunteer positions

This is a story to tell you about how bad managers are everywhere. I volunteer at a school as a coach on the side because I like giving back to the community. It’s low stress and a hobby. The head coach (HC) is a mad power tripper and acts like what we are doing is professional sports. I’ve bit my tongue a lot of times, especially how she acts towards the girls (I.e. ignoring them, saying that she has offers other places and they are lucky to have her, and that she doesn’t trust them) and my gf doesn’t think it’s worth putting up with. Before the holidays a girl collapsed and was borderline convulsing and the HC didn’t act. I called 9-1-1, while she made the rest of the girls run suicides. During the holidays we still had practice even though she went on vacation. She sent us the…

Can I make my work environment safer?

Not sure where else to ask this. Looking for advice. I have a situation at work where I have to walk across an area where cars frequently pass by, sometimes at high speed. It’s the back side of a building where I have to take large amounts of trash to the dumpster. You have to cross the road to get to it. I’ve got a constant fear of being run over by vehicles coming around a blind corner faster than they should. I’ve reported it to the property management but they haven’t done anything. I want to know if there is anything I can legally do to force them to make a crosswalk or speed bump or something… ANYTHING to make people aware that someone may be crossing here cause I would like to not die at work!

Soothe Stress, Enhance Joy: Havening for Educators

Hey guys! I found this really cool class that is designed to help school staff relieve stress. Work sucks ass and teachers work wayyy too much and get paid wayyy too little. Since we can't overturn capitalism in a day, I thought sharing this resource would be helpful! The techniques can help those who don't work in a school setting as well. “Is everyday work stress wearing you down? Do you want a feeling of mastery and control in your daily life? Come learn a technique for self-care and empowerment that is quick, fun, and effective, and that you can use on yourself and teach others. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/soothe-stress-enhance-joy-havening-for-educators-registration-480084213807”

Venture capitalist boss using my content for his other practices without compensating me

I work for a practice doing special projects. I have created training content, templates, guides, charts, and programs that are intentional, and specific to our practice. The co-owner of the hospital is buying up other local practices, who keep reaching out to me to share the content I’ve created with them. He’s also shared a lot of my work in the past without my knowledge or consent. He essentially tries to copy and paste from practice to practice. These practices are entirely separate businesses at this time. I am not compensated by the other practices. I am a sharer by nature. I have no interest in hoarding the work I do, and I genuinely want to share with my professional community. However, I know that I (along with many others) am being taken advantage of by not getting compensated by the other practices for the work that I’ve done for…

my co worker turned down the manager position after I told the owners I wanted it

So I work at a garage/ car wash essentially I've been there since October when it went under new ownership (owners live out of state have been here once). within a month the manager at the time was fired for assaulting me at which point I told them I wanted his position and hours they hired someone else (there are only two of us that work there ) I work part time this person works full time. It was told to me early on they were probably gonna pick this new person to be the new manager ,so fast forward a few months to today and my coworker tells me they finally officially offered them the position but not as a manager but as a shift lead and it didn't come with much of a pay raise but meant not just working on cars but also doing maintenance on the…

“Just get another job…”

I just want to make it very clear that this only works when the Federal Reserve hasn't managed to shrink the economy to be easily filled by available workers. It almost never happens that there is almost no unemployment, or that there are excess jobs. You guys will suggest just dropping a job like a hot potato, but in 6 months, or a year, there won't be any jobs. There'll be unemployment. At that point, employers are going to start ratcheting down on people again. So, what are your suggestions going to be then, when the interest rate hikes finally dissipate any excess jobs and create some unemployment?
