I worked at a local elementart school through my university which was paid. I had to sign into time card at the elementary school before I started going in and sign out whenever I left. Some days I forgott o put my hours into time card and just left. Fast forward now, I graduated from the university last year, and the university is asking me to show the proof of the hours I worked that was not inputted into the time card at the elementary school, or pay the money back. I have no “proof” that would show them I really worked those days, nor would the teachers would remember the exact dates I came in because this was months ago. Am I gonna get sued? I said I would repay the money back in full because I really don't want to go through a hassle of showing “proof” for…

No idea what the average American woman is going through but hugs to you. Idk but I’m noticing a silent trend. I can’t quite put my finger on it. A couple of years ago, the van life was being pushed by the algorithms. Now I’m seeing expat life styles being pushed. One of my female cousins is an American expat that lives in Indonesia. She found a man there, started a family there and is living the dream. She doesn’t work because she focuses on motherhood. The secret or the truth is that her lifestyle is self funded. She’s got two restaurant businesses in Florida and her monthly expenses in Indonesia is $30/month. Because of the strength of the dollar and it’s purchasing power. I met her husband, he’s a good man and doesn’t really have a real job. If he were to live here, he would be considered as…

Today, I spoke with a college professor in regards to a teacher I knew. I graduated high school in 2015 and college was pushed on us hardcore. No basic life skills were taught in school where I went. Simply, it was college prep. Years later, at 26, I hear this professor telling me the community college is complaining about lack of enrollment in their classes. Is this coincidence for rising inflation and whining about unsustainable in the West? Have people quit college too? The weeping and gnashing of teeth is at an all time for Western civilization.

Prompt: How can I politely ask for a raise in an email? Response: Asking for a raise can be intimidating, but with the right approach, you can make a strong case for why you deserve one. Here are some tips for crafting a polite email asking for a raise: Start by thanking your employer for the opportunity to work for the company. Clearly state the reason for your email.

I’ve been working at this location for almost 2 years. I’ve been given praise and bonuses in my first year there, I even got taken on a work trip. I finally felt like I belonged and was valued for my work. Around the holidays I had my hours cut and given to the one other person who can do my job, they get paid much less than me. Then Christmas rolls around, and I basically got a jelly of the month club bonus instead of money I was depending on. I recently requested that I have Sundays off so I can spend time with my family. Boss took it upon herself to announce to the whole room that I make more money than anyone there, so it wouldn’t be fair for me to have Sundays. Then proceeded to tell the manager she couldn’t have one Saturday off every two months…

I've been applying for a bunch of jobs and they all ask why do you want this job. I know they want to have a deep answer like growth opportunities or whatever, but I just want to make money. It shouldn't matter why you want the job as long as you are qualified to do it.
