I work for a small telecoms company in the UK. I am on a relatively low salary of £16k a year but with OTE bonuses it can top this up to £30k a year. In the last 6 months our bonus structure has changed three times.. each time it progressively it has gotten harder and harder to hit bonus to the point where unless you’re on the phones 10 hours a day then you’re stuck on £16k a year. I recently found out (a guy who I work withs wife knows my bosses wife) that they’ve just bought an £800k house in Devon (Very nice area for those outside of the UK) Now I’m not sure that the 2 are entirely related, but it does seem suspicious! Not sure whether to say anything as I can’t afford to lose my job. Any help/advice is appreciated. Thanks

My usual schedule is 12AM – 8AM but have been covering and on call. I worked a total of 52 hours but I put in that after a total of 40 hours worked (including the OT to make the 40) the rest was OT. Pay periods begin Friday. Can someone help or confirm? FRIDAY: 12AM – 8AM SATURDAY: 6:30AM – 4PM SUNDAY: 2AM – 2:30AM then came back 10AM – 5PM MONDAY 9PM – 8:30AM TUESDAY WEDNESDAY: 12AM – 8AM THURSDAY: 1:30AM – 8AM. I did my timesheet and it should come out to 35hours regular pay and 17 hours overtime pay. Can someone confirm this as my manager is saying it is 40 hours regular pay and 12 hours overtime.

I know that sounds bad y'all, but we're a small (under 18 people) company, we recently grew exponentially this year and had to hire to keep up. Have 2 owners, a general manager, warehouse staff and drivers, and office staff. I've been in the office for two years and have seen the company grow. Last year we hired a part-timer who cannot get more hours due to lack of childcare. But now we need a third office person, full-time, so I can take days off and the office run smoothly. We're hitting heavy season. She is unreliable, dramatic, takes days off on a whim, and applied for a different job. I don't blame her for wanting to leave, it pays better and has health benefits. But she's leaving us hanging and hasn't told the bosses. I'm left picking up and doing extra work. She got a concussion over the weekend.…

My wife was working remotely as a medical scribe before our daughter was born last October. In September, that company sent her a laptop and monitor. She tried to return it to them, but they messed up the return and told her they'd contact her later to get it fixed. They never did. At what point can I sell them?

I think the primary difference between our generation and past generations is the hyper focus required to maintain financial stability in the average person’s life now-a-days.

Some friends and I are putting together packs of paper home goods (toilet paper, paper towels, etc.) for a local shelter. Does anyone have experience/ideas on how to get things like that donated by the big box stores we all know have the money and means? I wasn't sure if this was on topic enough, but I'm taking any way I can to get those deep pockets to give something back. Goodness knows they don't make it easy.

Is this legal? It’s in Florida

I work for The Major Retail Chain. You know, the blue one. Anyways, I guess our market has a problem with people not wanting to/not being able to work weekends. In an effort to curb this they’ve elected to punish those individuals by forcing them to work part time, even if they are available full time the rest of the week. My familial schedule demands that my weekends remain open, and so I am one of these forced part time individuals. I’m in the states in a very conservative right to work state. Is there any action, beyond leaving, that I can take?

Do we have any protections against that wack response in the US?
