Should I have to share my tips with my coworkers?

I work for for a federal employer (DOD) that allows cashier's and baristas to receive tips. The job is essentially a restaurant/cafeteria where the cooks make food to order and then the customer comes to check out at a register, where they occasionally tip. My question is should these tips be split with non cashier employees? Additional info,is all employees make above minimum wage and the cashier's do not help in production of food, cooks are required to do customer service

Could they be any more blatant?

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/mar/17/po-ferries-halts-sailings-before-major-announcement Sacking all operations staff and using private security to “arrest” staff to get them off so they can be replaced by cheaper agency people? That's major grade bullshit. What's the bets the admin staff didn't face similar treatment…?

I set up a phone interview on my 30 minute lunch break. The after seven minutes past the scheduled time I decided eating was more important. They called and I didn’t answer, they want to reschedule, should I bother?

Study during working hours

Hi guys, I have a WFH that is sometimes very intense, but at various times I would have many hours with absolutely nothing to do, because I depend on other departments and I can't go out creating reports. I was thinking of using the time to study on my personal computer (not the job computer) at the same time I would be ready in case something comes up, do you think it's ok? I feel a little bad doing it, even prioritizing work. I'm in career transition and I'm studying development, I can study 1h after work, but I would get 3 hours a day if I studied during work. The computer belongs to the job, so I don't know if there would be any system to monitor absences.Am I taking too much risk this way? Thank you!

Question from a call center worker to my customers.

Do you guys WANT me to baby you? Do you actually want us to go “Oh you know what (insert name), I completely understand, it happens to the best of us, how about I (insert thing) here for you and we'll get it all sorted out, no problem.”

Why is part time paid less than full time?

I’m currently job hunting. I am looking to do part time since I find 4 days on, 3 days off to be a better balance for my mental health. I applied at a job that stated their pay is $14 – $18 an hour and that they’re looking for part time and full time employees. It’s a food service job and I have 2 years food service experience + 4 years customer service experience. I should be a perfect fit. They seemed to really like me in the interview but then when it got to pay I told them I’m looking for $18 as that’s what my current job pays. They said the $18 an hour is only for full time employees. They can only pay me $14. Why?… We already don’t get benefits because we’re part time. Why do we get paid less too? What difference does it make…

Should I wait?

I am being offered a job at a startup that’s 62k with a yearly 10% bonus, 90/100 health insurance, great 401k match, and who will be offering equity soon. 62k is tight where I live, but I can’t be out of work much longer (left previous job due to a family emergency) due to bills, prescriptions and such. The job I really want won’t be starting their 3rd round of interviews until 4/4-4/17. Then references and background checks. The position closed on Dec 27 of last year, my first interview was in 2/16 and the second was 2/23. It’s a city job around the same pay or more with good benefits and I would be in a city with a more manageable cost of living and using my master’s for something useful. I just don’t know if I can wait and I’m nervous because there is chance I might not…
