All public school teachers deserve a $20,000 raise paid by the Federal Government. The Biden/Harris administration promised raises for teachers on the campaign trail. Let’s encourage them to fulfill their promise.

Copy and paste the content of my petition in an email to Patty Murray, the Chair of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions.

Though education is mostly funded through state budgets, Congress does have the power to pass a bill to…

Ensign – Left Hand Syndrome – I’ve always felt like this song accurately described our current society, even though it was released 22 years ago

When it comes to employee code of conduct and performance, how can an employee justif themselves to managers/directors with legal words so they stop or make it difficult for employee to be fired?

Looks like they’re taking preemptive measures these days.

To expand of the great post idea of invoicing for interviews, I had made a couple changes to the wording. :)

I’m pissed.

Company gave me 2 different checks to buy a bunch of stuff for the job. Laptop, softwares etc. The deposits didn’t go through to my bank, which I didn’t know until the next day, after I bought the stuff. So I confronted them about it, and got into this whole thing. they’re saying I need to pay more money to them for them to be able to give me my money back. some screenshots Edit: thank you everyone, I of course at this point know this is a scam, but that doesn’t make me less pissed, lol. I contacted my bank, and reported the incident to the FTC.

Post office job bait and switch?

My son- (25M) has been looking for full time work since November when his seasonal job ended. Has an English degree from WVU- I know- he knows- almost waste of paper and lots of cash. Applies for a posted full time job with the USPS. Gets email with “job offer.” Passes background check, drivers history etc…. Goes to be fingerprinted today. Guy in charge there says yeah- don’t give up your current job yet because it can take up to two months to get officially hired, and btw- it might say full time but it’s really 7 days a week/4 hours a day. No guaranteed hours, no uniform for at least three months and you can expect to be on a different route almost every day. Oh and you use your own car to get wherever you are assigned. He was floored because he rightfully assumed it would be in…

Why work harder when no recognition is given? Boss has no clue of overtime and extra accomplishments were made. Time to go?

I am halfway out the door because of the amount of stress and internal staff conflict and BS blaming over the past few year. Today I got my performance review where my boss gave me his opinion based on biased opinion from other department, I was floored because he didn't consult with people I work with on daily basis…. speechless and utterly under appreciated. Edit: I was taking my colleague work on top of my duties because she was having personal leave for 6 months and yet my boss didn't mention my dedication… I was flabbergasted.

WFH Attendance Expectations? Annual review drama.

Hello all. I joined a new company last year. It’s a multi million dollar business that has moved nearly all of its employees remote because of the pandemic. I am currently in preparations for my first annual review. We have a formal survey to complete, with a numbered score being assigned to a rating scale. The manager then adds their opinion after you submit your self-evaluation. One of the questions was about attendance. I gave myself the rating equivalent of “exceeds expectations” and my manager gave me “generally adheres to standards”. I called off a total of three days last year. The first time was for me being sick, and I was out for two days in a row. The second was a single day for my daughter. Am I missing something? I thought missing three days in an entire year was exceptionally good? Am I never supposed to be…

I think my job is abusing me?

Hey guys, so after months of looking around and applying for jobs, I was offered a job with a pay raise of 75%, plus benefits, compared to what I currently make now. I went to work and put my two weeks in, and my colleagues at first seemed happy for me. Then things got a little weird. My timesheet from last week has been completely edited. The managers have taken off any extra time I worked and lowered it below the 40 hours I had made that week. Next I saw the schedule, and i’m scheduled to work the next 8 days in a row with no day off?! My manager and her husband both work here, and I’ve been covering his 2-10 shifts all week while he’s out of town, and she texts me today and goes, “well can you also do 2-10 on Sunday, I have a dinner…
