My boss flew into a rage at me over nothing and now I don’t know what to do

Long story short, she yelled at me for ten minutes insulting me and my work and swearing and slamming things. I’m so triggered and don’t know what to do. She also follows this subreddit, so I’m hoping she doesn’t see this, but either way – any advice? I’m so anxious about going into work. This isn’t the first time. But I also need money to make rent. Will apply for other jobs in the meantime, but don’t know what to do now.

Manager went off on me for giving notice…

I accepted a job offer 2 months ago. It was a lowball offer and they refused to negotiate. I was desperate at the time so I took it. Anyways, an opportunity came up that was giving me a much better / more fair compensation package so I decided to pursue it. I gave my notice yesterday and my manager did not take it well. She called me unprofessional and said she expected me to at least stay 2 years and that I wasted her time. She then hung up on me. This last 2 weeks are going to be so awkward. Not sure how to face her.. (Not a question… just venting )

Which jobs can I automate via code scripts, so I can sit back and make passive income?

I have a significant amount of coding experience, especially with automated processes. Yesterday, my friends and I were talking about people who get a remote job, spend a month writing a script to automate it, and sit back and do nothing while collecting the salary while the script does all the work. Some people even have multiple jobs doing this, since there's really no limit on how many jobs you can have. As a result, they spend maaaaybe 4 hours of work per week managing scripts for several jobs and collecting a really nice amount of money for it. What a time to be alive! We laughed and joked about it, saying that managers who find out and fire these people are idiots that should really re-evaluate what kind of work the company does. We then speculated how many workers are presently doing this. I mean, as long as the…

I found a really cool album of pro-union songs

Talking Union by The Almanac Singers — released in 1941. This album goes HARD. It’s a collection of workers’ anthems and is extremely relevant to what we’re going through today. Thought the people in this sub might appreciate it. I highly recommend checking it out especially if you’re interested in the history of workers’ rights!

And they wonder why so many people today don’t see the point in busting a gut for a meagre salary.

But hey you might have a great car when you’re 80.

Boss blames me for getting him sick

I'm pretty pissed. A week ago my boss called me in to work, I told him I shouldn't because I was coughing alot. Next two days I was scheduled to work I called off because I got reallyyyyy sick. He was fine with it. But basically I didn't go back to work until I felt better. Eventually I went back, but I still had a slight cough but otherwise I was fine. I covered my mouth with my arm when coughing and washed my hands often. He saw me coughing and he was like “dang everyone is getting sick” and I was just like yeah it sucks I'm better now though, just can't shake the cough. He even acknowledged that everyone couldn't seem to shake the cough. Anyways TLDR today I was coughing again a little and he said “are you still sick? I told him I'm not I'm just…

Goodwill is a nonprofit?

As a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, Goodwill operates under tax laws and regulations that require it to operate for the public good, rather than serving the financial interest of any individuals or group. Goodwill's funding is devoted to furthering its mission of providing job training, career development services, and other employment and support services to those facing employment challenges. Therefore, the highest-paid positions in Goodwill are usually those in executive-level management, which are necessary to oversee and maintain the day-to-day operation of the organization. According to the 2020 IRS 990 Form for Goodwill Industries International, the highest-paid position is that of CEO, Steven Preston with a salary of $729,458. Other executive-level management positions such as Vice Presidents, Financial Officers, and Operations Managers are paid a high salary but are considerably lower than the CEO. However, it is important to note that non-profit's highest-paid executive salaries are modest in comparison to for-profit…
