When restaurants add service fees or auto gratuity to make their employees whole, everyone goes up in arms saying “just raise your prices” to pay them more. This argument never highlights the fact that prices would have to greatly exceed the price of the fee because the restaurant would have to pay payroll tax on those wages (essentially doubling the cost of the wage). If the goal is 1) have employees get more money, 2) keep prices reasonable, and 3) keep the restaurant in business and therefore job available, then I have ZERO problem with this approach. Honestly, I would rather have restaurants call it out, “20% will be added to every bill”, so it’s not sneaky and the earnings of the employee are not dependent on why willing customers are to give (getting rid of the free rider problem). Profits in the restaurant business are notoriously small so raising…

Hi, this is just going to be a rant, but I'm also interested on other opinions on this. I only work part-time next to my studies, but it is very important to me to be able to live by. I had a really bad half year with IBS, constant pain, going to the doctor, taking all kinds of medicines and it's still very much going on. It also made my immune system much weaker. Last week, I got really sick out of nowhere, basically spent an hour commuting to work just to get fever on the way and instantly come back. Then I had a really bad week. My grandpa got very ill one day and he is in the hospital since, not sure if he will make it out… The next day I got the call that my grandma passed away. It hit me very hard, since I was…

So this past monday I tested positive for Covid on two at home tests. I even took a third one from a different brand to be sure. The symptoms hit me like a truck so I never made it to the Dr. My sister assured me I'd be paid for the state and didn't need a test from the Dr to prove it so I was like “okay cool” . Now I'm back at work and since I'm sort of HR for my job (I wear many hats we are a very small business so I take care of backend stuff including what a normal HR person would do but with no formal training) I'm realizing the Covid forms I'm finding require a Stay at home or quarantine test from a Dr… I was home all 5 days with the assumption I was going to be paid and so I…

The hiring process for entry level jobs is, personally, very invasive with background checks, questionnaires and drug screenings. But there isn’t a whole lot of statistical information readily available about the corporate operations. Besides employee reviews on job search websites, where can someone gain access to information regarding company revenue, turnover rates, workman compensation payouts, injury reports, osha violations? I would bombard the hiring manager with these question, but like most managers they too stupid to know. Companies have to go digging around in my urine to see if I’m qualified to serve burritos, but where can I go to see if they are worthy of my burrito making abilities? OAN: start stealing stuff. your money has no real value. And you are valuable without money.

or if u know someone? hit me can fix that
