I know that there are at will states and right-to-work states (and that some states have both). Is there another option in the US? Which better protects workers?

My buddy had tough luck getting stable, payed position after ending 3 unpaid internships, wondering if its normal?

I work in a smaller retail store. He’s supposed to be there 2-3 hours before we open, that’s what he’s scheduled for, and yet every single day he shows up a bit after we open, leaving the key holders to do that. Then, he edits his clock in times to make it look like he is there earlier. What really pissed me off is that recently, we had a store meeting, and he explained that people can’t keep asking for more hours as corporate won’t give him enough to allocate to everyone. Ok, that’s understandable, store’s not too busy so it doesn’t make sense anyways. But I wanted to bring up how we could have at least an extra 10 or so per week if he wasn’t a liar, but I didn’t mention it, because I genuinely enjoy the work when he isn’t there.

I debated on posting this over the last 3 days, decided why not, so here I am. I don't normally post here, or anywhere really, more of a lurker.

I went to school with the CEO and the director of chain accounts. I have good relationships with everyone. I learned to use excel on the job, my work went from looking like…

As the title states I am burn out and desperately wish I could be a homemaker and stay at home mom. I am 32 year old wife and mother to a kindergartener. I have worked full time since graduating college. My job is fine, I hold a lower management position in an office. Its a short commute and my pay is decent. However, lately I’ve just been feeling so unfulfilled and tired of the elbow rubbing, office lingo and office politics. When thinking of what truly makes me happiest, I realize how much I actually love taking care of my home and family. I like baking and decorating. I enjoy cleaning and beautifying my home. I don’t mind handling family errands and folding laundry. I have worked full time my child’s entire life. For a while it was fine, I had postpartum depression and getting out to go to work…
