I work with a client who we've had for 10 years. Recently, they have discussed contract renewals and we have been getting lots of ominous emails from the account manager stating that they might be going to some competitors. In the meantime they have been hyper critical of our work and we had to write a 1 page essay essentially begging the client to let us keep our jobs. For context, I work in personal injury cases, but I don't have a degree in anything just industry specific licensing. Part of me thinks it's them trying to intimidate us but I am genuinely afraid here as my financial situation isn't great. I have been applying to simular jobs and I've gotten a few callbacks, but does anyone have suggestions on jobs where insurance adjusting transfers well into? If i do actually get laid off (verdict hasn't been released yet) the…

The “taxation is theft” folx are wild. My siblings in Christ, what do you think profit is?

I work as a subcontractor for large nationwide, general contractor, whose name I would like to put up on blast for their blasé attitude towards Health on the construction job site. We’re dealing with the green mineral wool, insulation and other subcontractors are cutting concrete sweeping drywall, all kinds of toxic carcinogenic dust here. Our order of N 95 masks was delayed, and I asked the general contractor for one and was greeted with a condescending attitude. I was belittled in their office, and I was told by one of their lead labors they aren’t supplied to the construction crew that’s employed by the general contractor. I was told they provide Sweep base yet. You can see a haze particulate matter in the air on any given day here. What’s worse is this is a union shop and a union job site. And the location of the job here is…

I work at a family owned business with multiple locations throughout the state so you know a lot of bullshit goes on! I ran into some people than work at the main location, where the owner spends his time, and they told me that one of their coworkers got yelled at for using a fire extinguisher to put out a fire, and then the owner proceeded to put the empty extinguisher back on the wall. Obviously wrong and if they do that how many other unsafe practices are they taking part in? What should I do?

Backstory – Yesterday at work my direct supervisor was giving a presentation (we use macOS at work) and he forgot to silence notifications on his MacBook. Sure enough, right in the middle of the presentation the top right notification goes off from the Calendar App and in big letters it read, “PAY TITHING”. I know this is a thing in their cult, but I was so stunned that it happens so openly and they don't see any issue with this. It's essentially a 19th century subscription membership. Just had to share, was curious on anyone else's thoughts… I work in Arizona and since 2004 I've worked at three companies with full on mormon owners. I'm noticing a massive pattern here. Look, I'm an Atheist, but I at least try to tolerate people even if I know they're putting on a face, it happens. However I've noticed that almost universally when…
