Someone at my company got a raise when I didn’t because the CEO doesn’t personally like me . Is there anything I can do legally?

Hey all. I’m really not sure if this is the right sub to post this in, but I’m at a loss. Im going to be vague in case I do anything but here’s the gist of what happened. I work at a company and after I started I was promoted to buyer for a department, which essentially means you run the department. The store manager was out when I was promoted, so I stupidly took the job thinking I would get a raise when he comes back. When he does come back, I ask for a raise. He says he will see what he can do. Several weeks go by with nothing. When I bring it up again, he tells me to ask a man that is essentially the CEO who was visiting from another state. When I ask, I’m told “ I’m not working hard enough.” So I quit…

Moved to Idaho and holy smokes they suck for employment!

I just moved to Idaho 2 months ago finally got a job after like 200 applications. So i started working for $12.50 an hour because I needed something. First day I got about 5 hours into the shift and I asked the cook when's our break and she laughs at me “There is no breaks in Idaho employers can work you 12 hours 7 days a week with no breaks and if you complain they fire you on the spot” so I went to the manager and asked the manager if this was true and she said “yes you have a problem with it?' and I responded with “I simply come from Connecticut where employees give you like an hour break with a couple 10 or 15 minute breaks” and she responded with “Then you can go back to Connecticut where you can get your brakes i don't need unruly…

Being against immigration is not racist and has everything to do with companies wanting to lower wages

There have been multiple arguments made by left-wing politicians as to why we need more immigrants and I will address some of the common ones. “People do not want to work certain jobs that immigrants would happily do.” People do not want to work these jobs because they pay nowhere near as much as they should or enough to be able to live comfortably. These jobs are usually blue collar, which increases your chance of injury and general health degradation. People should be paid very well and provided with health care instead of importing cheap labor. “We need immigrants because our birth rates are too low.” Birth rates in western nations are too low because people do not have enough money to have kids. Bringing in immigrants is a band-aid solution because they will not have enough money to have enough kids to keep birth rates stable. Meaning that we…

confused recent graduate

i apologize in advance if this is the wrong subreddit to post in. delete it if it’s not the correct one. as the title states, i am a recent graduate with a m.s. in psychology. i have extensive knowledge in research and various protocols but focused my capstone on mindfulness-based interventions (mbi’s) on veterans with ptsd. in addition, i took a variety of courses— that while still had me utilize research strategies (e.g. article searching, writing scholarly work)— touched on subjects of mental health and counseling. currently struggling on locating jobs that don’t require a license or further education as i am beyond burnt out from school, but feeling utterly overwhelmed and that i wasted 5 1/2 years to obtain this degree. i feel failed from my program as it forced me into research when i truly am not attempting for that path and not looking into the counseling route…
