Category: Antiwork

Title explains a lot. After my second interview for a company I was told I didn't get a position due to lack of experience and “not seeing projects through.” All the examples I gave of projects, which were all the projects I worked on, were cut due to funding and the resolution was that the project wasn't implemented. I'm just frustrated because before I went to school I was told I didn't have the experience and now I'm being told the same thing.

I’m an anesthesia tech at a hospital. I make significantly less than the certified techs (i am not) despite doing 99% the same job. I’m talking 10-15$ less. Most places there is a pay difference but not a massive one, sometimes not one at all from what I hear. Whatever. They decided to increase the minimum wage to $x at the hospital. They said “anyone already making above that will be given an ‘equitable’ raise” so I found out today my “equitable” raise was 6 cents. I’m so insulted. I’m now making $1 more than people who clean the hospital and stock the warehouse. Those people were given multi dollar raises but I wasn’t even given 50 cents? I take part in codes and emergency airways. You’d think my skill set is more valuable than a dollar above the new minimum wage. Anyway, i’m livid. Is there anything I can…

As many already know, teachers everywhere are looking to leave the field. I questioned if I wanted to be a teacher while still in college, now 2 years later I’m finding it incredibly difficult to leave the profession. I’m looking into jobs like curriculum development, eLearning, instructional design, instructional facilitators etc… but I’m getting nothing back. I need some motivation to keep trying, are there any teachers out there that have made it out?

Yes you can discuss pay. Anybody who doesn't like it will get a letter from Dewey,Cheatham,& Howe LLP.

If they can't afford to rent the building, the business gets evicted. If they can't afford to pay their suppliers, they have to slow down or shut down production. If they can't afford to pay their employees enough to keep them, they bitch about how nobody wants to work anymore. One of these things is out of place.

I live in Colorado & maybe I’m just hopeful but I read an article from the Colorado Sun that it’s being reintroduced, making it illegal for employers to discriminate you if you use cannabis on your off time. Why can’t we use public pressure to make this happen??? Can we sign a petition or something??? How do I support this.
