First time posting on here so bear with me. I've recently (almost a year ago now) started working at a Solar Installation Worker's Co-operative. I am not yet an official Co-op member (there is a 1 year 'probation' period, then you can buy in/join) but compared to working for giant corporations, it is amazing. I've done a lot of different things for work from running my own small business/partnerships to 6 figure camp work gigs. From my limited experience with a Co-op, everyone seems much more invested in their work and appreciative of others efforts as well. I know a few other people who work for worker owned businesses (not necessarily co-ops) and they have had nothing but positive things to say as well. I may be a bit biased as this is a really interesting job with a great group of people, but I really recommend looking into worker…

Had interviews with a company that made me meet with each separate project manager for the IT department. Had all the qualifications and I was good enough to get pretty much to the final lap and was still denied.

So we were sitting in a conference room chatting. I'm working on a couple of projects with one of our production team leaders and the Plant Manager checks up on us from time to time. The other day, he was hanging out in here, we were just randomly talking. My buddy (the team leader I'm working with) asks Senior Manager, “What's up with /u/Gotitaila26's job title? Shouldn't we be changing that?”. For context… I am a material handler. My job title is that. That's forklift driver. I don't drive a forklift anymore. My managers have put me in the admin office for the past 1.5 years with my own office and shit. I work on all kinds of things.. Efficiency reports, any math stuff (like figuring out how many people we can fit in a storm shelter), Power BI stuff for business intelligence reports and production status, etc. The only…

The job I am quitting is bagging groceries at Kroger, so it's not like they can't replace me quickly. I was planning on quitting in about a month, with a full two week notice, but my dad is going on a business trip next week and he is going to set up interviews for me at the places he is going, so this is a great opportunity for me that I don't want to miss just for the sake of finishing a 2 week notice at a job that could replace me in a week if I dropped dead. I know they are very likely going to be spiteful tomorrow, so what is the best way to respond to them? I just graduated college and I don't want to miss any opportunities to find a good job, so I am definitely going on this trip with my dad next week.…

I am a recent JD/MBA grad, who has started the job hunt. I had an interview with a marketing firm for 8:15 Tuesday morning. I get there at 8:10 and have 8 or so different people ask for my name, and the company I am interviewing with. (I come to learn that multiple different marketing firms are housed under the same roof) At 9 a “hiring manager” comes out to tell me there was a mix up and I don't have an interview with the company I was supposed to (which they triple confirmed with me) but to do “ME A FAVOR”, she was willing to interview me and another perspective employee at the same time. Again, this is a different company than the one I sent my resume and had communications with. I thanked her for the consideration, but declined to take her interview. Emailed HR (person who confirmed…

108,830,849 workers in the United States in 2020 earn up to $ 49,999.99 a year, 184,631 people earn more than $ 1,000,000.00 (of which 358 of them earn over $ 50 million per year). This is income inequality. 184,631 people are doing great, capitalism is great for them, and for those 358 who earn over $ 50 million a year, capitalism is the best system of all time, except for 108,830,849 workers who earn up to $ 49,999.99 a year. For them, capitalism is not a god-given system. Wage statistics for 2020

I work partime at a company that sells mainly heavy items like bedsides tables etc.. We are usually 3-4 on the weekends managing a 1500 square ft store and I am the only man there so I am the only one that is allowed to handle heavy items. This means that I can’t get sudden days off, like my female coworkers, have to manage almost double the amount of clients. And I get paid minimum wage same as my female coworkers but they get to wake up the next day not feeling sore.
