I have decided to unsubscribe. This sub is going nowhere, and only needlessly reminds me of work.

Nevada Masks

So Nevada dropped the mask mandate, but my work wants us to continue wearing them “for the safety of the employees.” I've been vaccinated, I'm not going to get anything from an employee, and I'm not going to give anyone anything. I work for a pizza place and I deliver, none of my delivery customers have a mask on when I bring them their food. Do I need to find out if this is a Company policy, a store policy or just the managers preference ? I'm done with masks.

What do you boys and girls thing about making our own business around the world that has everything you would want from a job?

We could make this a big thing have different little businesses around the world available to everyone like Amazon that suits everyone’s wants and needs like not having to sign anything and able to get get hired with no questions and being paid 50$ minimum and 100$ maximum or whatever seems reasonable since there will be no employer everyone will have equal say in these businesses and we can make the business brand name called anti work or whatever seems the best name. Won’t have to work in person if you don’t want to, you can work at home with no restrictions.We can make our own jobs that we want by making them ourselves. What do you boys and girls think about this would this work or not or have any suggestions on what the business will be working on or just suggestions in general?

School Staffing Needs Form Asking Me if I Will Return Next Year Seems Shady

TL;DR: School principal sent staffing needs form, worried if I respond honestly that I won't be coming back they will take away my two months of paid summer vacation. Long time lurker, never thought I'd have anything to add to here but I have a question. I currently work as a teacher at a middle school, and needless to say I am far from thrilled in my current role. My background is in sports medicine (collegiate athletic trainer for 2 years prior to coming here) and I am looking to get out of this environment. The school dumps an unbelievable amount of responsibility on me because I am somewhat comfortable in a lot of things that are not anywhere near my job description (i.e, somehow becoming the IT person, handle all of the audio/visual equipment for assemblies, etc.), and despite having a masters degree in sport and fitness administration, I…

As much enthusiasm as there is for unions lately, they need some real work to stop being seen by so many as bullies and just another governmental oversight board.

I can’t tell you how many union “bullies” stories I’ve heard. As much as I’d like to see more unions, I’m very much anti-grossly overpaid windbags

Ways l can end work in developing country & an opportunity for you to invest! [Zimbabwe] (Open to Discussion)

Am a 29 yr old male employed by a company under a multinational. You all know how it is with multinationals. My monthly pay is roughly 400us after taxes.(Am in a middle management position). My first born is on the way. It got me thinking into investments and led to me to research and a found out gaps in developing countries and developed countries. A friend of mine started a registered microfinance and they lend US dollars at 25%. Investors are offered 4% per month(tax free). I found out that in USA or developed countries there is no such return on any investment. Regestering your own microfinance requires US25k as capital. The problem is this, l have no that kind of money but not impossible to raise. Why do you all think??…….to be continued

Do I move or accept a counter?

Not sure if this is the right sub for this question but I’m interested in what people think so here goes. I’m relatively happy with my current employer, my job isn’t too taxing and I believe I am paid fairly. Recently a former colleague contacted me about a job working with him. Other details aside, the job would pay a good amount more (approx 35%) for similar work albeit with more travelling involved and some more responsibility. I believe they could offer further career development in the future where as the job I have now is relatively static due to the small team. The question; I’m sure that my current employer would be keen to keep me and would likely counter offer, I’m not sure they’d match the pay rise exactly but I think I could get a decent bump at least. I’ve seen it said before that you shouldn’t…

How to Explain Phone Storage to Retired People Nicely?

Might not be the right place for this post so forgive me. Any ideas on how to politely explain phone storage to retired loved ones who send daily “words of wisdom” or “have a great day” posters via text? Don’t want to be mean but tired of deleting it everyday as it fills up my phone storage.
