Antiwork

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…

TW: terminal illness, mental health Left this team after 3 years there end of 2021. I’m so happy I found a new role in a different team at the same company (they pay for my graduate school, can’t leave unless I wanna be on the hook for grad school debt). However, I can’t help that if things are so much better, is it ok I’m still feeling some effects of trauma from the last team? In my last team, there were MANY red flags. But the biggest thing that crushed me was my supervisor passing away from almost a year long battle with cancer. He worked for 9 months after his diagnosis before taking medical leave, then passed away almost a month and a half after that. He essentially worked till almost the very end. We fell into that trap where the six of us (four team members, supervisor, and…

So I work for a couple who owns several businesses and operates them all from the same office. They’re all very similar, but have different LLCs. I work in the accounting and HR department for all the businesses. I do not have access to payroll as that is someone else’s job. I am paid hourly. Recently, they asked me to start working late and working on Saturdays. Well, when I got my paycheck I noticed I wasn’t paid time and a half for the hours worked over 40. I asked and they said they don’t pay office staff time and a half since we work for all the businesses. They told me: “technically you work for all the businesses so it’s a couple hours for this one, a couple hours for that one, and so on per week. You never worked over 40 hours for one of the businesses.” I…

After entering summer vacation I have decided to better make use of my time by applying to a business I was working on before my father had heart surgery. They were an unprofessional lot. I was basically tasked with writing articles about SaaS marketing by rephrasing arguments from other web pages. This is some sort of content stealing but this was not all. Our superior(s) often forgot to assign writing tasks to “content writers” and deducted them from our pay. Yet it only took 1-2 days a week and it was remote work. I thought I could return to the job and make some money to pay my credit card debt. Upon returning I learnt that some things were changed. The content writers (none of whom I recognized from my earlier period with the company since they probably quit) were assigned an editor. An editor that seemed nice enough at…

Not in the US, so the same employment law/practices aren't applied. Just wondering if what I did and the circumstances for doing so are justified or if I'm just stupid, tbh. I work in a company that's 100km from me. I commute two hours each way, Monday to Friday and was told initially that I could come in a little later (10.30 instead of 9) and leave at 5. This is mainly because I'm already working as I travel to and from work. This has since changed and im now expected to be in the office for 9, which isn't what we agreed. The people I work with are great, but one of my managers is a workaholic and expects everyone to be the same. The idea of working 9-5.30 to them is ridiculous, as they believe that overworking is the standard, not the exception. I'm a single mother, and…
