I had a doctor's appointment on monday and I told her 2 days prior that I want the day off. But she refused and told me to clock in “before AND after the appointment” anyway because we're short staffed. I've been overworking 6 days a week and sometimes solo shifts (i work as a barista). It's mentally and physically destroying me. And they don't even care if you're sick they still want you to show up. I'm sick of this place.

I truly don't understand corporations. I get it making money, but what end. It's an empty spiritual decay.

I work for a huge global company within the internal Service Desk where we only support internal workers (250k+ end users). Starting out, pay is crazy and max is 102k unless you apply for another position. Benefits are insane along with no call center vibes but we do of course have OKR’s. No micro managing as I hate that. No degree or certification required and we essentially have no exact rules to weed people out so as the hiring manager I get to choose who I think is the right fit based on what’s going on in the company. I could hire someone straight out of high school and they’d be making almost 100k right away.

Dear comrades I want to share an idea and some experience for how to easen the burdons on the working class. I am a student about to graduate in a month or so. Having saved up a small sum of about $100,000, I've put these funds into crowdlending sites such as Mintos thereby generating a work-free income of some $1,000/mo. The money is earned by lending to lending-companies providing high-interest loans to under-banked people in Europe, Africa, Central and South East Asia and Latin America. E.g. helping Kenyan people buy motorcycles and such. Ofcause I can't live off of this yet, but I hope to save up enough during the course of a few years of working. I think this might be a good solution for the troubles of the working class and also a solution benefitting people in the third world who need financing e.g. for cars and motorcycles…

Forming a union typically involves a series of steps and processes to ensure that the rights and interests of workers are protected and represented collectively. Here are the general steps to form a union: Research and Assess Feasibility: Before starting the union formation process, research and assess the feasibility of forming a union in your workplace. Understand the legal requirements, existing labor laws, and any restrictions or regulations specific to your industry or country. Build Support and Organize: Begin by building support among your coworkers. Talk to your colleagues about their concerns, grievances, and the benefits of forming a union. Identify common issues and goals that can be addressed through collective bargaining. This stage often involves establishing an organizing committee or group to lead the efforts.
