Has there been any studies on work travel and how it impacts workers?

I work in automation. Depending on the project I could have to travel for a week, or several months with just every other weekend at home. I get OT sure, I get paid for my time spent in the car or in the air. I get reimbursed for all my expenses. But fuck….I got married in October and have been on the road more or less non stop since November. I can feel it doing damage to our relationship, but what else is it screwing up?

Company stealing 401k money and not matching like promised

Yesterday I decided to check my 401k account through work and when I logged on and looked at the statements I noticed that for the past three quarters the statements said my employer never deposited my match money (3% of my gross). After seeing that I decided to take a closer look to see what was going on and discovered that the money being taken out of my pay was more than the amount deposited into my 401k account. I tried contacting hr/the company but they just keep giving me the run around I was wonder if there was any legal way to make them take action or who I needed to talk to or if I should get a lawyer I’m really unsure where to go from here

Possibility of joining women’s day work strike with anti workers?

Time to take a page out of the French’s book and strike! The strike has its own subreddit and the first day is set to be May 12th. While this particular strike has a focus on women and the myriad of laws impacting our rights to our bodies, etc> and women are a part of the anti-work community. Strike for your sisters and your fellow co-workers! Don’t engage in commerce, strike peacefully, stay home or gather. But demand an end to this ridiculousness. I will be adding links shortly. Link to the strike subreddit: r/nationalwomensstrike

I have had enough

EDIT: just so tured and frustrated writing this sorry for any misspellings. Also not english native language:) 19 M living with my parents Hi! I have been working the same job for about half a year and been having the same work task doing the same shit everyday. At first it was fine i had a friend that also worked there. We could talk and joke around which made the day go by faster. I was also in a better mental state then and was pretty happy with life. I never liked the job but i could handle it. But now the past couple months my mental health has gone downwards where im barely able to sleep and feel like shit with all this anxiety and suicidal thoughts. Which makes it really difficult for me to work and function. When im at work i feel so alone and dont talk…

Advice on quitting current position

Hi, everyone! Before I start – I know it sounds a bit ridiculous to be worried about my father’s opinion as a 28 year old, independently-living woman, but here we are. I need some advice on how to communicate to my father that I quitting my current position making $100k for a position making $50k. This change will have me in a tight spot budget-wise, but with some financial planning and cutting costs, I should be okay. I’m quitting this job because I work 50+ hours a week and spend the whole time being talked down to, told I’m an idiot for asking for help, and denied PTO that I have rightfully accrued. Example – I asked for half a day on a Tuesday in MAY off back in February and my boss denied it for no reason other than, “another person on the greater team will be out that…

Offer accepted however

I got an offer a week ago from a great company and accepted. My background check is completed and my starting date is Monday. Today I got an offer from a better company for 30% more that’s located significantly closer to where I live. I don’t want to burn the company I got the initial offer from but I really don’t have a choice. Is it ever ethically too late to decline an offer once accepted? Plus I really like the hiring manager.
