Getting the raise is only the first hurdle….

Getting the raise is only the first hurdle, the next (and most difficult parts) are maintaining pay by not allowing companies to quietly lower wages after their grandiose shows of faith, and not allowing any sort of benefit weakening. Normalize wage discussions, Working harder only makes bad management decisions look good Keep up the good work, stay strong my brothers and sisters! edit for formatting

Advice wanted – Australia.

So I recently did a job trial on a Sunday for 2 hours & got paid $35.. no discussion beforehand about pay, was only a casual thing & I didn’t do all that much during said trial. There was no formal interview beforehand etc. As an adult 21+ surely I should’ve received $20 an hour, not 17.50 especially on a Sunday?? Even as basic human decency, it was still my time. I’m not going to say anything as it was only 2 hours. I expect a lot of people here to tell me it’s not worth it but I genuinely do need work & have had trouble getting work due to the bs going on here atm. Anyway asking for advice as they’ve asked me to come for a few trial shifts soon… if the actual person I’ve communicated with/person in charge of pay isn’t around how to I breach…

Just here to rant ab jobs

It’s so funny when boomers decide to tell you that you’re not looking hard enough and that no one wants to work but you’ve applied to 30 jobs in the area, you have one interview and you didn’t get the job. Suddenly it’s the workers fault for not wanting to work even though no one will hire.

How to not cry at work

Will be saying my goodbyes to my childhood dog tonight. I feel physically sick and have been crying all morning. Unfortunately I’m new to this job and no one is able to cover my shift today, so I feel guilty for calling in sick. I’m anxious about not being able to keep it together in front of customers/ upper management today. 🙁 Any advice?

Doing 3 people’s jobs for the price of one

I apologize in advance, this is gonna be long and filled with grammar mistakes probably. Some background, I (20 ftm) work in a meat department in a family owned store. I have worked in this departement for 6ish months, but I've worked in the actual store for almost a year now. I started out as a grinder, which is the 12-8 shift. I hate late shifts, I'm more of a morning shift person. 9-5 person walked out during a shift and left clean up for the closing manager. This is after the previous 9-5 person left after he put his 2 weeks in. For about 3 weeks, it's just me and the opener. I was getting out 2 hours late on a regular basis because no one would stop a d help when I would ask. “Why isn't sausage getting done? Why are you getting out so late? The person…

Lying on Lab resume

I have no luck getting a job without experience but then because I have no experience I cannot get any experience. A lot of my friends have lied successfully on their resumes but they are in different fields of work than I am. I was wondering if anyone had ever lied about their experience working in a lab. Not like research but just basic lab tech
