I almost accepted a job at a fast food place called sweetgreen but decided to focus on school full time instead. The job was minimum wage and the worker handbook specifically stated that workers cannot accept tips and if they do they could be fired. Is there an actual reason for this other than not wanting your workers to make a living wage?

I want to bring this up to my fellow Canadians; that the discussion of wages is not a fundamental worker's right and is not brought up at all within the National Labour Code. This means it is up to the individual provinces to mandate whether or not it is a protected right. In Ontario Wage Discussion IS a protected worker's right. However I now know that in Newfoundland, it is not –therefore here in this province, if it is against company policy, you can be fired for it. So to my fellow Canadians: know your provincial labour act and regulations and know how to protect yourself.

basic human needs such as space to live, food and rest should be equally distributed among everyone. Only when the rich and poor go through the same experience in terms of consuming basic things then only everyone will develop empathy. When managers would spend atleast 50% time working in the same role as their reports then only they would understand the pain and effort. When rich will live in the same amount of space and eat the same food as poor then only they would advocate for improving the basic necessities. Apart from it people should be allowed/encouraged to splurge like go travel in first class of air travel but at the end of the day you will sleep in same room as everyone else and eat the same quality/quantity of food.. Because this would come up, only one and only variety of every food should be sold (by government)…

I’m getting really concerned about the supply chain and inflation. Ground beef absolutely should not cost 6 bucks a pound.

I work in a preschool, and our IT dept monitors what’s happening when we are on WiFi. My coworker got called into the office with a list of URL pings printed out that were flagged for explicit/pornographic content. Our boss acknowledged from the start that she fully believes that my coworker wasn’t looking at NSFW content in her classroom, but said she was being written up anyway, and if it happens again she’s fired on the spot. We figured out that the pings were actually happening when she’s using a photo app to resize photos she takes of her students, in order to email them to parents. Upon presenting this info, and proof that it is 100% that, my boss told her the app must be deleted from her phone, and there will still be no excuse. One more ping, she’s fired. This is not a company phone, am I…
