US Congress getting in on the “work from home BAD” party

What I especially love is the dichotomy of “It’s clear that the COVID-era telework policy of the Federal government is both a waste of taxpayer dollars and inefficient,” And ” It also would require all agencies to complete and submit to Congress studies on the effects of telework on their agency’s productiveness within six months. ” So it is so clear to us that it is an issue we are going to take away any management discretion in the matter, but oh by the way, how is it affecting your organization? https://www.meritalk.com/articles/republican-senators-introduce-bill-to-curb-telework-for-feds

Why are human rights in the United States, against capitalism?

Well, specifically referring to the black man from north or South Carolina, who said civil-rights were communist and against capitalism or something similar. But it’s every time.

Looking for a way out

Like the title says I'm looking for a way out I'm looking to see if anybody has any resources or experience on how to make decent or even OK money on the side that actually works. The situation is I have just started a new job I've been here almost 3 months when I first started I was hopeful and ready to work and had a great attitude now after some time it's setting in that this job is part time so no benefits and there's no breaks of any kind unless work is caught up which it never is and I also get constantly humiliated by my boss in front of everyone like I'm some kind of idiotic lowlife being. The stress is starting to take a physical and mental toll on me now as well and I don't want to spend the next however many years this health…

New employer asked me if I was ok taking a 10-11 dollar pay cut, with the potential of only being a 4-6 dollar pay cut in a 1.5-2 years.

I was interviewing for a team lead role, when asking about my salary expectations I said I was wanting to keep my current salary of 55k a year, if not be paid a bit more. I was informed that wasn't possible as no one makes near that at , even the most experienced team leads there make maybe 24 and that's where I could be after 2 years of training and new certification. But initially I would get paid 17-18 while working 8-10 hour days. They assumed it was ok, cause they wanted me to come in to see their facility and meet the staff, and not even asking if I accept the position.

Just walked

I've been working as an flt driver at this shithole, but I was super busy and I enjoyed driving, my job was material handling. The yard was a complete shit tip, they asked me to sort it out but then they keep asking me to do other things. They had material coming in on giant pallets, no system in place so the pallets just build up and up and up. After weeks of putting up with the boss talking to me like dogshit today I'd had enough. I have the stamina of an athlete 45 bpm resting heart rate. I worked so hard today I was exhausted. The gaffers lil bitch deputy got someone put to help, he finished what I started, I was cleaning out underneath the crusher. The lil bitch said hes just cleaned that in half hour and you've been on it a week. I put my…

I’m not lazy I just lack help.

Hello all, Ig this is sort of a rant honestly but I want to know if others have experienced something similar. From a v young age (about 8-10) I knew I was really smart & knew when I grew up I wanted 2 help ppl. Well a lot has changed since then. Long story short, I’ve been disillusioned. For context, I’m 22 & a surgical technologist. I joined like I said 2 help ppl- I don’t need the $$, I’m a saleswoman I can sell anything 2 anyone. What bothers me is the fact that I feel like I’ve worked my whole life & didn’t get credit for it- I got straight A’s, opened up my own LLC, bought a car, etc. and I’m proud of myself but I’m tired. I’ve essentially worked my brain 8 hour days/5 days a week/for 18 years of my life. I’m frustrated bc I…
