AMERICANS OF REDDIT: IT IS TIME TO CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES Our government is out of touch with the needs of its citizens. It is our responsibility to remind our officials who they work for. POLITICIANS WORK FOR US. No, seriously. These people are letting us get squeezed for everything we have, and they apparently have no idea how much we are struggling. I want every single one of us calling, emailing, tweeting at our congressmen, senators, mayors, anyone you can think of and I want you to tell them about your life. Tell them about the decisions you’re facing due to inflation. Tell them how shit your work experience has been. Tell them how heartbreaking it is that overdose deaths are at an all time high and climbing. Tell them how unacceptable it is that building a life for oneself is becoming impossible. How abhorrent it is that our citizens…

The stated mission says that the goal is to make the most of the work free life. But honestly, I feel like posting on Reddit about old jobs isn’t the best life has to offer. For those that are work free who spend a significant amount of time here, why?

Hello everyone not really sure where to get help from so I figured you guys could point me in the right direction. Today at work it was closing time and I was still checking people out for their items. When all the sudden one of my managers told me to clock out and proceeded to use my register to check people out. I told her I didn't feel comfortable her doing that in case she counted my cash wrong or something, she said it was fine and made me clock out. Is there anything I can do about this other than file a complaint to the store manager.

To preface, I have read the employee handbook from front to back, multiple times. The handbook states that PTO hours are not considered worked hours, and therefore do not contribute to overtime compensation. There is also no specified cap on how much PTO is allowed to be taken each week. I got multiple days approved PTO in a given week, and I was also scheduled to work the other days (24 hours) that I didn't have requested off. This was fine- except my manager then realized that I would exceed 40 hours of worked+PTO time, and 16 hours of my (already approved) PTO was then revoked. Since I am nearing the end of my two-week notice, I am trying to use up all PTO because my company does not payout for unused PTO and this really throws a wrench in that plan. (Also, the whole point of PTO is to…

unfortunately, i can see where this is going. i've been around long enough to have seen it happen to several other people employed with you. last summer, i used to feel so happy coming in to work. so motivated to do my best. so much so, that it quickly became a PERSONAL GOAL for me do my part in helping you succeed; and i did my damnedest to hit that goal every day i walked in. well, i'll tell ya, picking up doubles every time someone calls out (sadly, this happened more often than not) and working 13 days in a row, that'll really begin to wear on you. i tried to thug it out, but the truth is; i'm not ashamed to admit- i am not built like that. not for somebody else's dime. dude, i started to wake up feeling like i hadn't even slept the night before……
