Daughter works part time at Target and just got a 9 cent “raise”. I guess that's all I have to say.

How do I make a switch to tech?
I frequently see people in here with tech jobs taking about how they only work a few hours a week. I want to make the switch but I don’t have any formal training or experience. Does anyone have any advice for making the change?
Laid off, but having to say I quit
Sorry if this is the wrong sub, happy for a redirect… I just got laid off (with some severance), but HR is telling my coworkers I quit. Is this common? Is it legal?
3-5 companies own almost all of America, and every person working in the ladder for them are being brainwashed into narcissistic demons or making posts about it here. Ik some people don’t have shame to outs a company after seeing it’s true nature, and some get into a legal battle involving labor laws which is great. But… Do y’all really think all these (or something along the concept) will lead to a complete work reform? Do you think anything will happen in the next 5 years that might cause this? imho, I don’t think there’s an individual capable of changing the world for the better like that just yet. Too much corruption. Hope everyone can have a decent shift today though
Left teaching and hate my new job too
I taught for 6 years. Love teaching but hate everything else about it. I finally quit. I was looking for a remote job and did a project management certification to look for PM work. Before I could find a remote job, my bf got laid off. I took a job in person in my town. The job itself is training and so much like teaching. I like that aspect and I like the freedom I have. However, I hate being in person, I hate being interrupted and bothered non stop all day by people coming through the office. I also now hate the idea that I have so little vacation time. Went from bad to bad. Fucking miserable ATM.
Oh no, poor little foreign landlords.
I'm an AP teacher with 10 years experience and a Masters degree in History. I have multiple certifications and I actually love what I do. Problem is I can no longer afford to be a teacher. The pay hasn't changed since 2019. Meanwhile inflation and living expenses has made my once acceptable salary a joke. I went from being comfortable to living paycheck to paycheck and barely making end meet. What's worse is the State Legislature isn't going to do anything to help despite their being a teacher shortage, teachers leaving in droves, and even a governor mandated task force that recommends a teacher pay raise. All of this means nothing is changing anytime soon. Originally 10k to 15k a year raise was proposed. Then at least 3.8k to match inflation. Now the proposed “solution” is an insulting one time 2k “bonus”. https://www.texastribune.org/2023/05/10/texas-legislature-teachers-pay/ Prior to this I was a licensed…
