So for the last few days I didn’t have anything to do. This is actually a regular thing and happens almost every week. I got tired of suggesting she let me help with something, so I don’t even ask anymore. We stay in the same room and my computer is turned to her side so she can see what I’m doing. But I don’t have anything to do. There are about other 30 people who work in the same place and they don’t know I don’t have anything to do. Since I dont have tasks I walk a lot, other people get mad. Yesterday my boss finally messaged me apologizing for not giving me anything to do, and saying she will try to not let it happen again. I’m gonna save this message everywhere that I can because now I have the actual proof that I wasn’t doing anything BECAUSE…

So my wife's work notified her that they accidentally sent out an email containing things like her email, address, phone number, and social security number. They didn't even apologize in the letter they sent. My wife and I both think it's bullshit they can do that and just leave it up to us if anything happens with her info. What can we do to try to fix this? Edit: this happened in Tennessee if that changes anything.

Hey i just discovered this sub, interesting. straight to the point: who is going to collect our garbage? (do uncomfortable things in general) is the Idea that we want a society where this “activity” is not considered “working” but “living” ?

I guess one big argument that I've heard in opposition to why wages should be increased is because we could just be 'replaced' with immigrants who would be willing to do the work for alot cheaper Looking for reasons as to why this would be a bad / non beneficial idea

I recently started a job back in December in a new field (education). I liked it at first but once I started getting my first paychecks, I kind of panicked. Ever since I have started this job, I have been living paycheck to paycheck and even the actual paycheck isn't enough. I constantly borrow money from people around me to make it through the month (which I obviously pay right back). I have never been so broke and feel so embarassed that I have put myself in a position to be asking for money. I can't continue to live like this long term. I used to make more money in my old field which makes me want to leave and go back to my old field. BUT I feel guilty. Recently some students have had their behaviour problems escalate and I am mostly the one working with them. We are…

A little infuriating to say the least. For about a month and a half I’ve been told that there will be a raise on the next paycheck. I never got an exact amount to look for but nonetheless, something. Anywho I called my boss (who also hadn’t received his) and he said that’d he was going to talk to head honcho and see why no one had gotten yet. The next day my buddy politely told me that I wasn’t getting one after all. I was taken back of course. My boss, crew leader and myself were all pretty upset by it. Those two believe that I deserved it because of my improvements and drive to get better. I didn’t get the full answer as to why I didn’t get it but from what I can understand it was because I took a few days for myself for personal reasons.…
