So a job posting on indeed was showing pay rate was 18.00$ – 20.00$ hourly. I applied, had a phone interview and we did not discuss pay, I figured it was 18 – 20 which I found fair for the job. I haven’t interviewed for a job in over 5 years and the labor market and whatnot has changed so much. Anyways, I got the job offer and it says 16.00$! I looked back at the listing and it says 15-18$, after they had 50 applications. I know I’m not tripping, they definitely changed the pay rate. Is this a thing? Is this a tactic to get applicants, like a bait and switch thing? Has anyone else seen this? Also what do y’all think about me asking the guy who hired me?! Like would that be getting fired before I even start?!!

I work at a retail store, and I have a close relationship with two employees. One of them had covid the week before last, my GM made a comment to me about how she was faking it even though she had provided a doctors note. She came back to work after 5 days, not sure if she had tested negative. Now, I tested positive yesterday, provided a note from the doctor, and yet again, the AM made a comment to an employee about me faking it. Said employee let me know. I know they both dislike us as employees because we hang out outside of work and we have both already been stiffed of raises because “we are not performing”. Which is untrue, this manager just hates that employees have camaraderie and would prefer for everyone to not interact with each other after work. this is getting ridiculous and i…

So a while ago, I learned a neat fact – not sure where, also not sure if it is true/still true – that statistically you can convince anyone to do anything by bribing them with roughly 10 million dollars ($10,000,000). Let us assume that this number is both accurate and a guarantee, not statistically significant a guarantee. Let us also assume that this bribe lasts for forever, there is no renewing the bribe necessary. We can set this number as the value of a “bribery” and use this number to show how many people someone with a large net worth can bribe into doing anything. Now before I get into this, I want you to understand the size of an army. A roman legion was roughly 6,000 men, and a modern “army” (labeled by NATO as a “Division”) is 6,000 to 25,000 men. A division is the fifith largest tier…

Hi, i am worried that my company might cut jobs. I am in a department with only 3 employees; it might hit 1 of us. I'm the newest one (since september 2022). Today, they asked for a workload report; which employee handles how many cases per day. The problem is that our supervisor did not ask us seperately, she asked the one that has been in the company the longest to answer for all of us. So, the one employee who answered said she did most of the work and the remaining 2 of us about the same. In reality, I do 50%, she does 20% and the 3rd one 30%. The one that did the report should already be retired but she stays for a little longer (withdrew her retirement) because her 401k dropped a lot. Is there a way to let the manager of the location know that…
