There’s quite a few other subs that do not have this rule. Why is that aside from not allowing any direct action? Please post where this rule is to help me because I’m not seeing it. Businesses aren’t people.

I'm a cake decorator at a chain grocery store. Maximum output for stagnant wages. Yesterday was mother's day and my boss and the lead took off so I was there alone. It was very busy. This (50s?) woman comes to the counter right before the end of my shift and says she needs a white sheet cake with white frosting. I had made some but they were all gone. I gave her the autopilot response I give 50 times a day. “I'm so sorry we only have what's out there. Did you check the big freezer there?” “But those cakes are frozen..” “They'll be good after about 20 minutes.” “Ohh reeeeally?? Well thank you! /s” I thought she was gone but then she came back. “Those are all marble and chocolate. I need a white cake.” So I stop what I'm doing and go out front to show her we…

My work did a strike without me, I work in the back of a thrift store where I sort all the stuff out for them and apparently they were doing a strike up front cause of increasing hours cause we've been out a cashier or two and yesterday no one came in yesterday as a protest, the thing is they didn't tell me so me and the boss came in and I was just sorting and doing my job when the boss came and said no one else showed it was pretty cool though she said I could shut donations down and listen to my phone as I worked so that's what I did

I’ve been wondering about this, if people want universal healthcare, stronger unions, free college etc. then people just need to vote for the right person. Did I miss something?

Middle Management is the problem. People who must appear busy keeping others busy, but can't join and help to keep up an illusion of superiority. The workers work and care about doing a job for a reasonable raise, the owner-operators/C-suite-w-stock-optuons care and actually have to have some distance for strategic purposes, but also care that current work is done and, so called managers: Biding their time, sucking resourses away, implementing counter productive rules to 'tame' when they should be trying to help, problem solve even personal issues, so that every one is working at max efficiency. They are often incentivized by bonuses for certain metrics & after that never 'manage up' by getting things for their workers against their management. I visited my older cousin on Army base 10 years ago and his discription of being a Sargeant always stuck with me. Basically that he had damn near 40 'kids'…

I have an upcoming review and one of the questions listed is what are some changes I would like to see from leadership or the company. From the company I would def like to see better benefits like better insurance (current coverage is the WORST I’ve ever had) and at least give the option of cashing out my PTO when I hit my max instead of not letting me accrue anymore ya little cheapskates. But what else should I say? Doubt my voice will be heard, but 🤷‍️

I started working at Dollar Tree about a month ago. We're incredibly short staffed, and the staff we do have (including the manager) are all new. On Saturday we had some issues with the tills, and ended up having to close the store for nearly an hour. Yesterday I was scheduled to work at 3. I got there and the doors were locked. I tried calling the store several times and got no answer. I waited around for around 20 minutes and then went home. My car is currently out of service, so I've been having to rely on others for rides. I didn't know if the store would be reopening, or if it had been open at all yesterday, so I didn't want to get stranded out there if either of those scenarios were the case. So I took the ride while I could. It is now the next…

I have a herniated spinal disc. This essentially has removed many, many potential jobs from my pool, trust me I've tried my best but the pain keeps coming back and I don't want to end up hospitalized again. Disability won't accept me because they claim I am still able to technically work but after a recent job attempt i barely lasted 4 days before pain returned and I was no longer able to stay employed. Can somebody help with recommendations, even if it's an at home job? Details: I live in Florida. I cannot do any heavy lifting or constant lifting/bending. I cannot stay sat or stood up for TOO long consecutively. I don't need much. $400 to $600 a month is all I need to contribute. I would EXTREMELY prefer a W2 over a 1099. Thanks for all your help!
