Antiwork

A friend of mine recently went to an interview for a cashier job that was advertised for $18 an hour. Once they went to the interview, they were told the rate of pay is actually $13 an hour but everyone is expected to make “at least $5 an hour in (pooled) tips.” The location they applied at isn’t even open yet and all the other locations are out of state so I feel it’s pretty deceptive to advertise a job this way. I’ve been out of customer service/restaurants for years but when I was working in that business, the tips I made were never as much they claimed I’d receive in the interview.

Not sure if I can really call him that but I am a cashier at a store for 12/hr and he quit after his first day because he stated that the wages weren’t worth the job and the store was messy (in terms of socially) since an older coworker lady told him to stay away from another coworker because she doesn’t like her and didn’t know that the girl she was talking about was literally his friend prior to him having the job. It’s been 3 months for me so far and I’m desperately looking for a way out (aka a better job) but I respect his tact in immediately leaving at the first few red flags presented

I know someone who is self employed but they want to hire him to be part of the team he is currently on £23.18 an hour but to go on the card with the company they have offered him £18.50 is this a fair deal the only difference will be holiday pay and pension

I don't post to Reddit a lot, mostly I just comment and lurk, but I just need to vent. I've been struggling with something between depression and bipolar disorder for most of my life now (not self-diagnosing, I've been to several psychiatric hospitals and different doctors have told me different things), to the point where it's been hard for me to keep jobs at times. Two years ago, almost to the day, a close friend of mine died, and I've been in a massive funk since. I left a job at a group home I'd held for 6 years, went through a period of incredible mental instability, ended up in another hospital, and eventually moved from my home state to Fort Hood TX to live with my cousin's family on a military base rent-free, because of being unable to continue to pay rent where I was, and feeling incredibly distressed…
