I am a blue collar factory worker that does 12-16 hour days regularly. I want to understand this subs viewpoint.

Title says it all, but I'm gonna clarify a bit more in here. So I (19M) work at a factory and willingly crank as much overtime as I can about 4 days a week (the one day I do not work OT is a day I hang with my friends after work). Perhaps I'm coming into this with a bias, or I'm missing some key points here, but from what I'm gathering, it's people getting upset over bad jobs they don't need to work at. I'm not trying to come off as rude, but I don't get it. Please help me understand.

I went from making $18 an hour and received a “raise” of $2.25 and now make $20.25 an hour. Under any other circumstance, I think most people would celebrate because yay, a raise. But because I received SNAP, Medicaid and WIC for myself and my daughter, I had to notify my case worker (and got scolded by her for not informing her “immediately” when I received my raise. Now I'm worried I'm going to get in trouble with social services) and received a letter in the mail earlier this week that my SNAP benefits went from $208 a month…to $28 a month. I lost Medicaid because I am above the limit. The only thing I didn't fully lose was my WIC benefits. It's still not enough to…

Why does HR suck?

What makes Hr so bad? Do you just not understand the other departments that well on average?

Don’t trust recruiters

Ok today I saw this. A head of a staffing agency sent an email to the candidate’s current manager. When the candidate didn’t show for the interview and ghosted the staffing agency. Beware because if one is doing it so will another.

We can fill hazardous and demanding jobs by offering better pay, more benefits, and more protections…or we can roll back laws and let children work them. Guess which one Republicans are going with

Disability = Antiwork?

My Aunt has been on disability because of back pain and anxiety and her depression and anxiety seem worse than ever before. What do I have to look forward to if I'm able to get on disability?
