Hi, all. Thank you for reading. I just got home and I need to write this out because it will help me sort through the events that have transpired, plus I hope somebody can help me. I’m an arborist, which I love. During the winter, it’s slow. I, 25M, have been picking up shifts at a garden center for extra pocket money. This is my father’s friend’s business. To be concise, the pay is minimum wage, the responsibilities are to move firewood, decorate wreaths/grave blankets, and assist customers with in-store purchases (as most sales are deliveries). My boss has been telling my father the shifts I’m expected to cover, not myself. This stopped after I addressed it with him a few times. The main concern is receiving my pay. We are paid for the week prior, meaning if it’s the 3rd Friday of the month, we’re being paid for the…

I understand how bad capitalism has f**cked the US. The rich get richer and poor get poorer. Work longer hours for less money… I just really, really hope you guys get out and vote. I know, Democrats have elites too, but it is when Republicans win that things go sideways. Tax cuts for the rich could have been avoided if Republicans didn't have the senate during Trump. PLEASE VOTE. I'm 50, and I got lucky- I don't have to deal with the shit job market, and mountains of debt. But I still vote. Every. Damn. Election. It matters.

Say you are entry in the field and have like six months experience, you would like another position but you don't have much experience. Is it worth it to pay someone like on fiverrr to fix my resume?

Although I couldn't just call in and say im taking off for my mental health, i have to fucking lie and say im sick. For context, i work at a pizza place, and today tends to be the busiest and shittiest day of the year, and i have worked nonstop for a week and some change and yesterday did 9 hours because manager wanted all dishes done before leaving (the sink was stacked to the brim, usually aloud to leave a little but yesterday was different) and i could think of a few things I'd rather do than drag my ass into work for minimum to get treated badly by drunken new years idiots. Why cant i call in and be honest, “Hey, today is going to be far far too stressful for me and i haven't had off in awhile” im tired of having to act like a cheating…

Back in August my wifes old boss asked her to come back to work for him and promised a $5k bonus at the end of the year if she did. The only reason we decided it was a good idea to go back was we have been saving for a house and the money would put us over the top for what we need for a downpayment. This would easily save us a year of saving. Now it's the end of the year and he is trying to back out of paying. ​ A little backstory on the job. My wife is a LPN and worked in nursing homes for years. This guy is a doctor and needed someone with a medical background to run his office. The pay and hours were way better than working at a nursing home. So for 8 years she ran his office. He is…
