Hate corporate grocery stores? Want to make them spend lots of excess money on labor?

Fill up your cart. Spend some time walking around and choosing random products from all over the store. The more random the better. Then walk up to the front and tell them you decided you don’t want the items and leave.

Your Opinion?

Who where is Familiar with Huey P Long? There’s a lot that was said about him in an attempt to slander him (eventually assassinated) but I want to know what you guys think of his political idea “every man a king”. Inb4 ‘everyone should be a king!!’ Calm down, this was a long time ago lol. For a TLDR on his ideas: https://youtu.be/KF6kFpnf4H4 https://youtu.be/Z1-kKss3KFo

so your not allowed to discuss pay

Nothing stopping you Writing a number on your arm with no context. Or getting a shirt with it printed on or even a tie. As your not talking about it. Or discussing it at work . If a manger mentions it or ask is that about your pay. They will get fired for discussing your pay at work.

Work advice over a term position

I wanted to get some information and context with how I should approach the proposed extension of my term at work. I am currently covering a 14 month maternity leave and there is talk that the leave will be extended to 18 months, meaning my term will be extended by another 4 months. When I had first signed the contact, I signed on for a specific salary and for a 14 month term. Now having been in the role now for 9 months, I know that this position can pay a higher salary. My performance has been exemplary and I have grown their books close to 20% (which is pretty hard to do in my industry). My question is, given that this is a term position, am I able to ask for a raise if my contact was to be extended? Also being that the extension is only by 4…

How to negotiate salary again after already accepting offer?

Hello all. I’m in the US. I just accepted a job offer formally after negotiating for slightly more (.17 cents) hourly at that new job. After thinking about it, I think I am worth more than that and would like to ask again for a bump between .50 cents and a full dollar. As stated, however, I have already accepted the offer at the slightly higher rate. How would I negotiate a higher pay despite this? I was thinking of raising the point that I have just gotten an offer at a different firm that has a higher pay (which is true) and asking them to match. I have no real intention of accepting the other offer because it has such a higher workload but I do have leverage. What should I do? Thanks! This is a cross post on r/jobs as I wanted to get several perspectives.

[Question] What should I do?

Ok, let's me start this off by saying that I absolutely hate working for others (and being am employee). Not to sound weird, but this time around my colleagues are really great, the work pressure too is low with a good work life balance. However, once the increments comes in they are almost always in peanuts. I'm planning a side income but not very sure what to start. Being based out of an Asian country like India cound be taken into account. This is a genuine question. I probably would like to increase the side proj, into something I can fully grow and leave my work for, in next few years down the line. Any suggestions are appreciated. TL:RD:I'm a tech guy.
