My boss threw away my travel mug because my co worker didn’t clean the cafe enough

My boss was away for the weekend and so the evening before he came back, my co worker cleaned the cafe extra hard so that he hopefully wouldn’t complain of it being dirty. Anyway he comes back and decides the cafe isn’t clean enough and so he throws away both of our travel mugs cause he was annoyed. We use the mugs cause it keeps our coffee warm for longer as when it gets busy we don’t really have time to drink our coffees. I wasn’t even working that day and he still decided to throw away my mug. Also these are mugs we bought with our own money and we have never been told we can’t use them.

US Redditors: If you’ve been fired unjustly, had your wages stolen, are dealing with landlords creditors… CALL A LEGAL AID ORGANIZATION!

(Read that in the same tone as those Personal Injury ads.) If you're currently struggling, please check out this list and find who your local LSC grantee is. LSC, Legal Services Corporation (not actually a corporation I promise), backs legal service non-profits in every state and many major metropolitan areas. If you're low-income, especially if you're now struggling after unfair dismissal, they'll likely help you against wage theft and eviction.

If your job does not arouse your sense of humanity, elevate your understanding of the world or yourself, or generate immense satisfaction for yourself and others then you do not have a job. You are providing a function. People need jobs, not functions. Jobs that pay.

I want to thank this sub…

Y'all have helped me see that I'm NOT trapped in my current job and that I DO deserve better pay for all the hard work I do. I'm starting to not stay late/come in early. I'm no longer going the extra mile. And, most importantly, I'm getting my resume updated and will be applying for jobs that are actually careers. I know some of my opinions on here are a bit controversial; but, this fellowship helped me realize just how much I'm being screwed.

“Inflation” is Slang for Capitalism

Inflation is the misnomer, it's genuinely Capitalism. Record sales reported yearly, benefits and retirement scrapped away biannually with expectations raised to inhuman values whenever applicable. Hording wealth that is inconceivable. Synthetic Dragons that expect the riches to rain endlessly while also increasing in quantity every rainfall or else they puppeteer illusionary failure no matter the sacrifices you make or have made and if you're not willing to sacrifice what they say when they say it? You're worthless. “Inflation” is the perfect sheath for the blade that is Capitalism. You are being Capitalized upon, WE are being Capitalized upon. Marx was on the Mark…

Blows my mind how a regular person can sue a company and get millions yet someone working for said company makes bare minimum a year. This will never sat right with me.

“Your break was 5 minutes too long.”

I have IBS and I've had to tell every manager I've had, this fact. Maybe I'd quit getting reprimanded for it if they could keep a new manager from quitting literally every fucking month I've been here. Oh, but I am allowed to not take my break to save my schedule adherence goal! I've shown up early every day and stay late the majority of days as well. I think the fact that I only missed 5 minutes is pretty damn good. Maybe next time I'll just shit the chair in the middle of the office and see if it takes them longer than 5 minutes to clean up.

Employers super bowl ad

I work for a hospital which happens to be the largest employer where I live. Every department is incredibly short staffed, and my department specifically is incredibly underpaid. Almost all of my co-workers have a second job. The company sent an email this morning notifying us of their super bowl ad, and when it will play. I guess I see where their priorities are, happy Friday!
