This super rich guy in my town is the sole owner of his business and has to disclose his financials. Just read that he bought 100 acres of land in 2022 and is using accelerated depreciation on it as a tax write off. The land is worth so much that the depreciation essentially wipes out the taxable income from his business. How did it come to this…

I want to preface this with the fact that I have no physical proof but this is a series of way too many coincidences that it's very likely. I applied at a bunch of jobs because I was broke and needed money as you do. I got hired by two jobs and both wanted me to do onboarding and drug tests. Now to be fair, the third party onboarding companies had such a generic description of the jobs that had I not double checked I would have thought it was the same job. One job texted me that they didn't get my drug test even though I thought I already did. Once I looked into it and saw that the other job I finished all the screening with paid more I texted job B that I was going to job A and was no longer interested. He texted me back…

I’ve been depressed for a long time now, longer than I’ve been at this job but it has been exacerbated by working here.

I’d be away from my pets and have to find someone to care for them and be away from my home. I’ve also had health issues with sleep that I’m waiting on testing for so this would be physically daunting as well. My first thought was…

Making memes about how we’ve won and employers have played themselves doesn’t make it true. Companies are still paying poverty wages, raising prices every quarter, and enjoying record-breaking profits. How much more are you going to take? How many more job interviews are you going to endure listening to some guy tell you that the company comes first, that you don’t deserve a livable wage, that your mental health, your social life, and your physical exercise are unimportant, and that you better work 40+ hour weeks, never get sick (as if you can help it), and love it? Enough is enough. Things will never change if nobody is ever going to take action. We need to protest for better wages.
