Hello, At my work, we’re not allowed to use sick leave unless we have a doctor’s note. Which I’m barely ever able to get, so I’ve accrued several months worth of sick leave over the years and just have to leave it sitting there. If I retire there, I get half of it paid out. It’s not private, I work for a municipality. With all the people who have left over the past year, and no one being hired to replace them, I’m so stressed out that I can barely sleep anymore, and have to go to the bathroom to cry…I manage about 20 people and am always worried they’ll catch me crying. Basically have no idea why I’m even crying. I have a hard time making decisions anymore too. Anyway, the point of this is: does anyone know what kind of doctor I might go to, to see if…

I've been or was a supervisor for 3 years. I work in food. I did my job pretty dang well. Going above and beyond, doing things I wasn't supposed to always do because it wasn't in my job description. Coming in early or on off days, I did it all. Then boom, finally after trying for a long time, I'm finally pregnant. I work at a college, so we follow an academic schedule. I'm 32 weeks and each week has gotten increasingly more difficult, physically, emotionally, and mentally. I recently got gestational diabetes which is also stressful. I even got written up for being late the one time I've ever been late because my OB appointment took longer than expected. And believe me, the boss knew I'd be late. Months in advance. My job doesn't offer maternity leave. I was told I could use PTO and STD. I had about…

Hi there, first time posting on here so not sure if this is in the right place but I'm not great at math and was hoping one of you could help me figure something out. I got hired at a retail job in Oct 2019 for $18 an hour. In Oct 2020 I got a raise to $19.25 an hour. And then just this past Oct of 2021 I got a raise to $21.75 an hour. What I do know is that the inflation increase of 2021 was 7% and the largest increase since 1982. So my question for you all is, are those raises that I have received actually causing me to make more money than when I started, or has my hourly rate just evened out with the inflation increases over the past 2 years. Hope that makes sense, let me know if I can clarify, and thanks…

The reason wages are going up little by little is by our will. There's been no change in minimum wage. No one's on unemployment anymore. The big bad isn't always politicans. It's your neighbor who says others should live in destitution so his cheeseburgers stay cheap, or that others shouldn't have healthcare so his stays private.

Hi, I like the concept of anti work and generally agree with the reasoning. But do you guys have any large scale possible solutions that we could actually do? Or even on an individual level? Or are we pretty much forced to lament our situations
