I joined a new company and in my first month they sent me to their HQ in Paris for 4 days. They paid for my hotel and train (I’m USA based) and said I could expense up to €100 a day for food. I did and on total I spend about €350 and put in a claim. I just printed out a bank statement as proof. However, the company has rejected this saying they need an itemised receipt because they couldn’t claim back the VAT otherwise. Also they said that because it wasn’t itemised, they couldn’t know which exact vendors I used and also what exactly I bought – apparently they can’t reimburse for things like alcohol. When I said that nobody had told me this they said the guidelines were there on the company handbook and also we were emailed a guideline – but there were three attachments in…

Hey guys! Here hoping for some advice. I started a remote position a year and a half ago and they have dissolved the call center position. They want to offer me an in-store position but I don't really want to take that on. If I decline that, is that officially me quitting or would it be advisable to ask for a lay off so I can collect unemployment until I find another position that works for me?

Payroll has not showed after four days and I got bills to pay, management says paper checks are late for everyone but they’ll let us know when it comes in. Something is off because they’ve never been this late before. Is there anything I can do to report this? I feel like at a state job this is just utter bullshit.

Here they go again with a new conspiracy to undermine, if not completely kill Medicare and Social Security. Mike Pence recently gave a secretive speech in which he outlined the same scheme George Bush enunciated but was forced to abandon when the wheels fell off his proposal. It seems Pence is now conspiring with the likes of Steve Scalise, Rick Scott, Josh Hawley and a raft of Congressional Representatives who are owned by Wall Street to disembowel the system. The scheme is to allow future Social Security recipients to invest 2% of their money in the stock market. 2% doesn’t sound like much, but when considered over the broad expanse of Social Security system the withdrawal of that much money would certainly sink the program. Yes, at first blush it all seems good. And it would be if each future senior citizen was astute enough to hitch a ride on…

I recently started a new position at a company that had gone through a lot of restructuring due to gross negligence at the top. My position as team lead has me interacting with all the people who actually do work, but I’m not quite management and yet still expected to do management things. Anyways last month we hired two new assistant managers who are only there for administrative purposes, not like we ever needed them because in the half a year before they were hired we handled all scheduling ourselves and kept adequate staffing to make sure that our production was best in the region while keeping our hours of staff lower than anticipated, handling all callouts with a strong team of part timers who could use some extra cash. One day one of the new assistant managers comes out to the production floor and after a bit of small…
