Deliberately misclassified “independent contractor” that is so glad to make less off my labor than one of the richest people in the state. /s

Seems perfectly reasonable for one of the richest people in the state to make 33% more than me for doing nothing as he let's me pay every employee who does the work for him. I work 300 days/year for months at a time 7 days/week at any and all hours of the day or night and he has his own 3-hole golf course at his private estate that puts most country clubs to shame. I am so glad to work for this “job creator” who somehow invents freight that wouldn't exist if he didn't make more off of my labor than I do.

Three months in a job that pays weekly, but always late

Employer offered me a remote job that will pay me every Monday but for the 3 months I'm there it's never on time. I followed up a couple of times and raised the issue and was told “so sorry, from now on it's gonna be every Monday.” Never happened. Still late. Now it's Friday and still no paycheck. I wanna quit but my friend said that it's better to leave when I have something lined up. I have a financial cushion for several months though…

not all boomers, but mostly the companies

I've got a great buddy John. John is about 60, give or take and is retired from a hard job. John and his wife have been able to afford fun but responsible lives. John worked a job that was physically hard. He delivered lots of heavy things to my bf's work. That's how we all met. When John was retiring, he was training in his replacement. I vividly remember hearing John say things to the extent of “they'll (john's employer) never pay him what they pay me”, and “they hired him for damn near what they hired me for 30 years ago”. I don't think his replacement ever heard John say this stuff. John was very professional on the job. The replacement isn't doing as good of a job as John did. Yes he's newer, but it's been at least a year. But, I also think in today's society, he…

Mandatory 3rd dose vaccine in my company. Any tips on how to convince my employer to continue my work from home arrangement here in China?

My company located here in China is a big MNC. They have implemented a no 3rd vaccine no entry starting on June 2022. I have been working from home since Feb 2022 and i do not want to go back to office arrangement since it so much better for my mental health and well being to work remotely. I have not given my response if i have deciced to take a 3rd jab. Honestly, i do not want to take anymore vaccines since i was infected by covid back feb 2022 and i have recovered pretty well. Any advice? Particulary from people working here in China (dont want to mention which city)?
