This was shown at Davos 2023. The future of the worker looks like a really fun time of not being a slave.

There aren’t many threads discussing job hunts after the tech layoffs so I’m starting one. How is your job hunt currently going?

Page 28 Drawing on findings from a long-term ethnographic study of Uber drivers in California, I show that the values and norms embedded in both anti-discrimination laws and minimum wage laws discussed in Part I have become schema through which workers frame their work experiences as harmful. In defining the algorithmic payment structures as unfair and unjust, workers in my research frequently complained of their low-hourly wages, despite the fact that they were not paid by the hour. In describing the harms they suffered, they drew on the language of anti-discrimination law, condemning not just the variability of their income over time, but more specifically the variability of their income in comparison to other drivers. The fact that different workers made different amounts for largely the same work was a source of grievance defined through inequities that often-pitted workers against one another, leaving them to wonder what they were doing…

I resigned from my position and my last day is 2/5. HR said I’ll get my last check w my unused PTO but not unused sick hours. I could’ve sworn, I’ve always got paid out any unused pto or sick. I’m confused now.

How is a corporation that's causing hell for its employees gonna then send emails to lecture them about “maintaining mindfulness”? I'm at the point where I just wanna make the word itself go extinct, regardless of the context.

Hello everyone I hope you that you all are doing well! I am posting to this community today because I’m a bit at a loss for what to do and I would love some advice. My SO and I have recently started working at a private tutoring company that helps tutor kids after hours. He started working a bit before I did and he was the one that got me the interview wife a tutoring job. I went in and they interviewed me and they didn’t once talk about pay, I know I should have brought it up but I assumed I was going to be paid the same that the other tutors do (15hr). When I went into training they were giving me a rundown on tutoring and being at the front desk and I didn’t complain. I told them I’d do what they needed me too and so…

I work as a bank teller at a bank. Working as a bank teller can be difficult without any previous banking experience, which I don’t have. The reason is because it’s so many new things to learn. My manager always tells me to ask him any questions I have. Today a customer came in with a letter he received about his loan. I read it and was confused about why he got it. I went to ask my manager and he was saying it’s a statement and saying it in a way that makes me look stupid. The customer then asked what this particular outstanding balance on the letter is for, since it’s paid off. I went to ask him again, he told me to figure it out. I was like wtf, isn’t he suppose to help me out?

The company I work for of ridiculous. They’re global, super fancy blabla., but they’re a waste of space with fake values etc. It’s 5 am. I’m drunk, I start work in 2 hours and I’m about to send a message telling the higher management how fucked up their company is. It’s very nicely worded with concerns etc. Nothing improper or insulting, I made sure of that. Just harsh truths. Do I just send it and enjoy the fallout and hope to get fired? This can go 3 ways. Either they ignore, blast me, or pull me up. Nice 3 way gamble. I don’t need the job, and having me fired means unemployment benefits for a bit, but they’re eying me for a promotion and getting fired would be bad regarding future employment opportunities. Considerations. Send or rewrite? It’s gonna get send anyway, they’re expecting feedback from me.
