Taking credit for the work of others is theft

We need Federal labor legislation that makes it a crime to take credit for the work of others. When people do this they steel credit to advance their careers and income while causing the person they stole credit from to lose that advancement and income. That is theft. It needs to be stopped.

Finally quit, now lost on what to do

After 15 years of working in a family business, I finally built up the nerve to quit tonight. After an extremely busy night of being left to shoulder 3 positions as a “manager” while getting paid a disproportionate wage, I finally relinquished my store keys, asked to be removed from the schedule, and left. I'm looking to immediately begin my job hunt, but there's just one problem: I don't even know where to begin, I have no personal experience with the job market after having been brought to work as a teenager and never walking away to find a career. Due to having been there so long, it's the only place I'd be able to list on my resume/applications as experience. That directly goes against me attempting to branch out of cooking/food establishments. Is there any way to fashion a resume that highlights the non-cooking aspects my work experience? (Things…

Employee Appreciation Week.

Companies need to stop. If you are just going through the motions then dont do it. It makes you look terrible. We have a mostly remote work force right now and our leaders are offering coffee (which is free all the time like all offices) and pastries. Why bother really…. How about good raises? Respect? Listening to employees? That would make me feel appreciated way more.

Absolutely nothing is sustainable

I’m 22F in Denver. I have a massage therapy certification, but left the field after about 2 1/2 years due to extreme physical and mental fatigue, I would’ve done permanent damage to my body had I continued, and I absolutely despised it. I recently got the first job I’ve ever had that I like. I have had to take on two additional part time jobs to make up for the missing income, and this still does not completely make it up. I am even still doing massage on weekends, despite the pain and resentment I feel for it. Due to a car payment I took on when I was making over twice the hourly income I am now, I can’t afford to even eat after paying my bills. My boyfriend has spent everything he has trying to allow me to work a job I enjoy. I work 40 hours a…
