Can someone speak to the legality of this? I work at a non-profit foundation in California and I'm picking shifts at other programs within the foundation to save up for surgery recovery (because I live in the US and don't get paid medical leave). On my most recent paystub they counted my work as an “extra shift” rather than overtime and paid it at the regular rate. I feel grifted. https://preview.redd.it/bb378tcu7lma1.jpg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=61b9caa352529d5225ab74ad4df73bd426e5963e

I’m not sure what to think of it. A position with most of my duties was posted in Indeed and the company website. Someone mentioned it and HR then said it was by accident and took it down. This whole thing has me on edge and rage applying. How do you make a mistake twice posting on Indeed AND company site? Should I keep looking? I recently got promoted and making above market rate. The position was not exactly my title but about 90% percent of my current duties with much lower pay.

Back story before getting to the meat of the post: The employer I had prior to my new employer worked us to death. They cut the number of people on our team by over half in the span of 2 years and still expected the same level of customer service. Our team was expected to do customer service for our accounting software, 3rd party IT for all (100 – 110) clients, and implementations for any new clients. Managers constantly demanded more than 40 hours while paying salary, while giving raises that were below inflation rates and saying we were being paid more than the industry average for the position. They were a hell hole to work for, and I dreaded working there each day I had to go in. I left the company back in early 2020. Now to present day. I was cleaning out my documents in Google sheets…

A bit of a curveball was thrown my way today. My lease is coming to an end soon, and I today I got an email from my apartments asking if I want to re-sign my lease. They've raised the price another $200. To give some context here: I moved into my apartment in 2020 and I signed my lease at $900 a month. 2021 I re-signed at $1,050 a month. 2022 I re-signed at $1,100 a month. Now it's 2023 and my apartment wants $1,300 a month. That's it, I've officially been priced out of the place I've called home these past 3 years. Even with me paying $1,100 + utilities a month I barley have enough to get by. I'm left with no money at the end of every month. So now I have no extra money to move out and I don't know what to do. I was…

Any ideas for good books or other items to keep at my desk that can be used as decoration but also says fuck you to ownership/upper management?
