Why is everyone in this sub so against tipping culture? Like yeah, some places it’s overdone, but you guys get it’s done to avoid income taxes right? If you get a tip for $100, you make more money than being paid $130 in your salary. The reason employers like tips so much is they save 40% on taxes. Considering that the government is fucked, and the majority of our taxes support a corrupt government and corrupt police state, why doesn’t every here support tipping?

TL;DR Workplace was so toxic and hostile I didn’t want to show up anymore. For some background, I had been working at a nonprofit daycare as an instructional aide. Wanting to go into education this seemed like an amazing opportunity for experience and learning new skills. Having come from soul sucking minimum wage jobs and desperately job hopping, I wanted something stable to pay my way through college. I saw an ad for it and remembered a friend I knew worked there. They couldn’t stop raving about the great pay and benefits even a retirement plan for the teachers. All things that should be automatically guaranteed, but I saw as a luxurious incentive. None of my other jobs had ever offered benefits, and the pay was pretty convincing for my situation. ($15/hr) With a 40+ hr week I was making a satisfying amount of money. Living with my fiancé, and…

Less pay cuts, less long hours, less sacrificing, less anxiety, less dread, less of killing any kind of benefits, less targets, less work, less conning, less less less, employees deserve less!

We've probably all seen that articles that say people who leave their jobs every 2 to 3 years make more money. I've recently found out our new hires make $2 an hour less than what I do now after almost 5 years with the company after getting raises (I pushed for) nearly every year. For context, I've gone up $6/hr since I started, am one of the highest paid in my position, a great worker, and I'm sooo angry. Recently pointed this out to my manager, and he said 'oh yeah, we should definitely bump you up' but made it sound like a $1 to $2 jump. It's been a year since my last raise at this point, and personally, $2 is a regular raise in this economy (considering how my workload has again increased, and I added another 2 million dollar in order writing in 2022). So, has anyone…

Hi everyone so basically everyone in my office works from home twice a week except me. Fyi, I am the only one hired as an assistant and was told wfh isn’t for me and I started the job 4 months again. I spend about 2-3 hours commuting to work each day which is the main reason for the discussion. I tried asking my boss to work from home today but he said I am not self-sufficient yet but he will talk to my team leader and consider. The issue is, as the only one assistant role, I don’t feel like I have the power to make my own decisions and would always have to run things by my supervisor, in which I have always been told to do. What points can I make about self-sufficiency to be convincing? Or is this a valid reason that I cannot argue…
