To Amazon workers: Has it made a difference?

I've stopped using Amazon altogether for the last two years and have no regrets. With union busting, Amazon prioritizing profit over human lives, and many other horror stories about them, I can't help but feel it's not making a difference. I mean, I know I'm only one person, but they continue to be fed by the masses, regardless of membership price hikes, sacrificing their own privacy in some cases, for the sake of convenience and consumerism. I don't plan on ever using Amazon again, but I want to ask: has it made a difference? If it has help in some small way, then that's enough for me. ​

My manager posted my job position on indeed after I emailed the owner of the business about State law and Franchise agreement policy violations.

TLDR; Emailed the owner of the gym I work at about a bunch of public health and commerce violations I found out the gym was breaking on Thursday, the regional manager and the owner have basically ghosted me this weekend and my position has been posted back on indeed. Hello everyone! I'd like to share an interesting story developing in my life. In mid March I was hired at a recently opened fitness facility as assistant manager. This is both my first time in any “management” position, and at a gym no less. I've been employed there for 6 months as of last week. The regional manager (She manages 1 other fitness facility) is basically the most negligent mix of incompetence and indifference and the guy who owns the two gyms is basically a fish out of water when it comes to the fitness industry and chose to do no…

Even in a world with “no work” things would still need to get done. How?

It's debatable if everyone needs a car or a cell phone. But people will still need the basics of life. What is the plan?

How do I stop my self from calling out a lot?

So every since Ive pretty much had to work I've been so awful about going in I've been fired from multiple jobs for missing to much and I've had a few relationships end because of it. Im thirty now and I thought maybe this was just young age and being immature but it seems to be much deeper then that. I have to lie to people all the time so they don't think I'm a lazy POS for struggling to go in or why I got let go or “left a job” the only job I've had for longer then a year is my current job and to be honest the only reason I've made it this far is because I have a FMLA I abuse some times. I've also almost completely ruined my current relationship over not going into work cuz Im constantly broke and lying about going in…

VA labor question

Ill keep it short, ask questions if it lacks important context, ​ Assistant Manager at said company is not allowed to leave the property while on full 1 hour un-paid breaks, and has to respond to a walkie and come in at the drop of a hat if an associate needs help, this can't be legal to be unpaid, and can I report this on their behalf?

More Payroll Hijinks ? Or late-stage capitalist fever dream ?

Maybe something of a followup to my previous thread, shout out to u/jj29ee and their crystal ball. https://www.reddit.com/r/antiwork/comments/xhj2bp/work_keeps_redefining_the_position_and_its/ So I've been hourly for about two years now, but rate equivalent to previous salary. There is also an overtime component generally every other week, averages maybe 13 hours per week. Had a busier week last cycle, should have been 15 hours, paycheck arrives, only shows 13. WTF. Email to the CFO comes back with a word salad about how they had been OVERPAYING for some time (oopsie !) but now they've gone and fixed it. Overtime only gets paid for hours worked above 40 (OK) so if there is any PTO or holiday time during that week, it reduces the overall 40 count. So what this means it, I took two hours that week for a personal need, but still worked the overtime, but I lost two hours of overtime (at…
