Some of these actors have a huge following and platform to reach millions of people. We need to convince them to start calling for everyone to strike. With their reach, it's possible that we could get a majority of the population to strike. We're all in this together, we're all getting fucked. It would help get them what they want, and it would help us get what we want.

So, I lost my job on August 1st, the same month I had put in for a vacation week, go fucking figure. The place was trash and had basically hired me to two jobs for the price of one, but it was paying $26/hour so it was mostly worth my time. At any rate, I had been called about possible job for $22/hour the day before I lost it, and called up the recruiter immediately, knowing it was a job I had done before with a company I had worked for before, which basically made me a shoe-in. Now, this company is far worse than the previous one, they literally lowered my pay back in 2021 as a “reward” for getting hired on full time and I fully believe they will do the same thing if I get to the point of being hired on full time this time around.…

I currently work in maintenance at a hotel. I was 1 of 2 maintenance men and the other guy wasn't dependable or reliable. Every job that came up came to me because you couldn't trust him to do it either at all or in a timely manner. This previous weekend the owners showed up and fired him and one of the deskies. Promoted me to head of maintenance/assistant manager after praising me for being an incredible employee and very smart. The kicker. I make $16.50 an hour and work 32 hours a week. Relatively low wage but I like the job and am fine with that. Their idea of a promotion is that I am now salaried at the same rate of $16.50 an hour. Now I must work 50 hours a week. 7 days a week either myself or the manager must be in the office and work front…

The more you do/say, the more it can go wrong. In terms of speaking up, you have the right to remain silent and anything you say can be used against you. If they do not require you to do/say something, do not! Remember Murphy's law!

Hello, everyone! I could really use some guidance on this situation. To provide context, I work for a corporate restaurant chain with multiple locations. Earlier this year, a coworker who was a manager resigned. With one of our main locations undergoing renovations and business slowing down, I took on her responsibilities in addition to my regular tasks. (It's worth noting that she was earning nearly $20k more than me.) I discussed a raise and a title change with my boss, expressing my willingness to assume her responsibilities and my need for fair compensation. Initially, he rejected my request, citing the company's financial challenges due to employee turnover. After some negotiation, I did secure a $10k raise and a title change (the new title better reflecting my expanded role, even though I didn't take on her specific position). However, the raise wasn't as substantial as I had hoped. As the under-construction…
