No don’t support small businesses

Hear me out. I work for a small business and they pay just a few dollars per hour above minimum wage and we do a lot of work and most of it deals with protecting people’s identities and fraud prevention. The owner is the greediest person I’ve ever heard of and every time any one I know goes and works for a “small family owned” business they’re all a bunch of anti mask, Covid denying, wage thieves who don’t provide benefits. I get no medical, dental, paid time off or anything. 0 benefits. Just what I earn that’s it. Every time I see “small business appreciation week” or “support local small businesses” I cringe. Not a single small business I’ve run into locally pays their employees anything close to live able and all of them complain nobody wants to work. The large corporations might suck ass too but they are…

How do some people just not work? I want to not work!

Let me start by saying that I am NOT lazy. I play piano, I read, I do yard work, I cook & clean. If something needs to be done i get it done. However. I HATE work. I've had multiple jobs doing multiple different things: Working with children, cooking, waitress, factory work, call center jobs & retail. And i hate every single one of them. After a month of going to these jobs I'm already feeling burnt out. By 6 months I'm thinking about quitting every second of the day. While I'm at work i get my jobs tasks done easily and on time. And anyone of my bosses would tell you that I'm one of the hardest workers they have. But I hate it. Its soul sucking having to go to work 9 hours a day, come home go to sleep and do it all over again the next…

The CEO of a major health network in Ohio has been accused of misappropriating funds and Emoloyees have started a thread of grievances.

This website is part of a journalistic endeavor to inform the community of a possible misappropriation of funds by Fred Manchur, the former CEO of Kettering Health. According to anonymous sources who spoke to our investigative team, Manchur misused hospital funds for personal expenses, such as luxury travel, fine dining, and expensive gifts. These sources claim that Manchur's actions were not only unethical but also illegal, as non-profit organizations are subject to strict rules on how they can use their funds. These claims were substantiated by a report from Spectrum Magazine, a Seventh-day Adventist joural established in 1969, that says Manchur was given nicknames such as “Five Star Freddy” and “Fast Freddy” by other Adventist executives. Going as far as quoting one executive as saying “When you go to work for [Manchur’s] organization you have two choices: You go party with Fred and everyone else or your ethics prohibit that…

Why are people so hellbent on denying that some jobs do make your life worse?

Yes job can cause depression, addiction, mental illness and even suicide. Jobs affects everything in your life including your freedom and lifestyle (depending on pay and work conditions). There are so many studies done on how certain jobs raise the rates of suicides and mental illness and people still want to deny it. I'm tired of being gaslit that I am somehow insane because I dont like working in a warehouse or factory for dirt cheap pay.

Sisyphean tasks

My entire department is quitting.

I gotta say… I have hated my job for a while now and have been so stressed out after coming back from maternity leave last month. I was tempted not even to come back once my leave ended, but decided to give it a fair shot… well. Two coworkers found work elsewhere and just gave their 2 weeks, which would make my already stressful job eons harder as I’ll be expected to pick up their tasks for God knows how long… and severely underpaid I might add. I got to talking with a few of my coworkers and it would appear that not only is everyone feeling the same as me, but legitimately everyone is interviewing elsewhere already and looking to jump ship. I had 3 separate phone calls today with coworkers and it seems like a done decision that everyone is leaving. And for many reasons, all awful, including…
