UPDATE: I’m getting fired tomorrow because I won’t sign away my rights

Hey folks, ​ As promised I would bring the People news of what has occurred here. tl;dr: I'm not actually fired yet, they are currently now “considering all options” which sounds like code to make sure they have covered their asses before I'm formally terminated. First, I want to clarify several misconceptions people have had. If we're gonna properly fucking change Labor in the United States of America, we have to get this shit right. This is absolutely legal. I'm in an At-Will Employment State, which means they can fire me for giving them a dirty look. Terminating me for declining to sign the agreement isn't illegal, it's just trashy and bad management and showcases to all the other employees that they are worth less than something as transient as policy. It destroys Office Culture and morale, and I would not be surprised to see other incredibly valuable team members…

Domino’s is offering a deal where they ‘Tip’ you, the customer, for ordering carry-out because you’re ‘Delivering it to yourself’

I just saw a YouTube ad for this. In one of the adsz their car even transforms into a domino's car on the way home, employee uniform and all. This company will now 'Tip' you $3 for getting carryout online because its like you work there. They must be short on drivers right now, and instead of using this money to give drivers a better wage, they would rather insult their customers by 'paying' them a measly 3 dollars to 'work' for them. Now that I type it out that's probably par for the course if you actually work for them. Its basically just a discount for carry-out orders. But the fact that its framed as doing cheap labor for the company is just laughing in the face of their real drivers who already make dirt wages.

My corporate job has been ruining my life for six years, totally burnt the fuck out. I now have a chance to run away but feel guilt for the possibility of just quitting w/o notice.

I have been definitely downplaying the severity of how burnt out I have been at this job. It should be a perfect situation: a job I went to college for and in my field. I should be happy. This job has been a severely underpaid hell for the last six years. I gained 40 lbs, worsening my anxiety, depression, and plus I have ADHD. I sit behind a computer for 8 hours. I can't eat at work because I am so sick to my stomach and developed a binge eating disorder as a coping mechanism for the stress. I cry in the bathrooms. I am micromanaged. I am so friendly and polite to everyone but I feel that just waning by the hostility I get from some managers. I feel like I am treated like an idiot. Some managers talk about how COVID is “no worse than the flu” and…

Minimum wage hasn’t been adjusted in over a decade.

Such bullshit. Companies say shit like this and then wonder why there’s a “labor shortage”. Tell us what you’re looking for so we can actually meet those expectations.

Fired for discussing pay at work

I started working for a pizza delivery joint near my college campus about a week ago. Today I got a text from my manager saying that had to let me go because on my second shift I was talking about wages with a fellow employee who said that if we didnt get any tips for our deliveries then we didn't get any compensation for money we missed. In response to this i said very politely something to the effect of ” I'm going to keep an eye on my pay stubs then and make sure that I'm getting what I supposed to get and if I find a decrepancy I'll bring it up with management.” Two days pass and I am woken up from a post test nap in me and my girlfriends dorm saying that I was being fired because of my opions on labor and payment laws. Am…
