I work for a very large aerospace company. Absolutely hate it. Dog shit culture, shitty management, shitty business decisions that result in public deaths. It is unorganized. Morale is very low and attrition is at an all time high. Disrespect is shown at every opportunity. Seriously. Fuck them all. I hate 99% of the little union shop floor employees like myself too. Almost everyone is insufferable. (Maybe I’m just a douche, idk) With all that said. I have pretty great benefits and use the fuck out of them. Free college is the main benefit I use. In my 11 years with this shitty company I have acquired a bachelors in business administration, MBA, and a master sun criminal justice. The only reason I did all this was: 1- it’s free, full tuition paid for and 2- this dumbass company gives me 100 shares of company stock for each degree conferred…

I currently work at a pizzeria and our boss has made our lives a living hell since she bought ownership about 3 months ago, micromanaging, cutting all of our hours so we can’t pay bills, trying to steal our sick time (we threatened to go on strike). I landed a pretty sweet gig recently and start in two weeks, so I have made it a priority to piss her off to no end. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I can do? I have her kind of backed into a corner right now because if she cuts my hours anymore I can accuse her of retaliation for the letter of demand we sent her.

Back when I was interviewing around for jobs, I interviewed at a big name hotel chain. On top of having had to wear a suit everyday to work to a job that I know was going to pay minimum wage, I decided to ask a question or two, even though I knew I was turning it down. Talking to the manager, I asked what their benefits were like. He said that most of the employees made little enough pay-wise so that they actually qualified for Medicaid and Food Stamps, so that was like having benefits. ​ I wish I had a witty response, but I just shook his hand and felt terrible for the woman working the front desk.

Starbucks said the staff, who were leading efforts to organize a union in Tennessee, had violated the company rules. Please make sure you do not buy their products…Go to any other brand that treats the workforce better. Make sure your dimes and pennies do not contribute to this company's revenues. I think this is the least we can do to support the Right of Employees to have a Union.

Oops. It’s r/legaladvice. Sorry; my intentions were good.
