My job is going on strike!

Ibbü is a platform by iAdvize that is contracted out by Samsung US to operate the Sales chats on samsung.com. Ibbü hires independent contractors as Experts for various product categories on samsung.com (Computing, Home Appliance, Mobile, and TV). These Experts receive no set hourly pay, just a commission (1.5% of every sale), meaning they are not paid if the customer does not purchase a product on samsung.com. From members of the LGBTQ+ community, single parents, disabled individuals, college students and dropouts, our community of Experts is an amazing group of human beings from across the United States who are being taken advantage of by the 15th most profitable company globally. Every Friday Ibbü will send out warnings to Experts who've underperformed in customer satisfaction or sales. Once an Expert has received 3 warnings in their Ibbü Mission they will be terminated. Experts also don't have any further access than a…

My gf just got fired from her job

An absolutely nightmare of a job, with a thousand bosses and managers, selling the worst product you can imgine to old people, telling lies all day to scrath a crumb of money from people that can't afford the things they were buying. And even then, they tried to make her feel bad, saying that she had a bad attitude and that is not compatible with the company. I fucking hate capitalism.

I have already paid over 7k for care. I’m on an UNPAID leave until MAY. I have health insurance and I work for one of the largest, most known conglomerates of all time. And yet, after 5 years and a slip in the shower, I could lose everything.

Advice – My contract states I’m required to give a 2 month notice period when resigning. I’m concerned my employer will turn round and fire me before those 2 months is over.

Hey everyone – so essentially I’ve had enough with an utterly toxic and unprofessional work environment that I currently find myself in. Tomorrow I was planning on handing in my notice, however re-reading my contract, I’m required to provide 2 months prior notice. I can live with this, as it gives me ample time to secure a new position elsewhere. However my concern is if they decide I’m not worth keeping on for the full two-months and simply fire me before that time, leaving me with no source of income. Any thoughts on this? Has it happened to you before? Is it even legal to do so? Appreciate the advice! TLDR: Quitting my job, contract says I have to give 2 months notice, can they fire me during this time without cause?

I’m finding it impossible to change my line of work

I'm 34 and for the last 11 years I've worked manual labour. Due to injuries and illnesses I find it harder and harder to do what I've been doing, but when I try to apply for other jobs they only recommend similar positions. It all started after my son was born. My current retail job didn't pay enough, so I quit and started working for my stepdad who had recently started his own disaster restoration company. The work was tough and the hours were long, there was also a lot of on call shifts. 60-80 hour weeks were the norm, and I usually only got time off when I was sick, which usually came from working long hours on mold remediation or sewer backup job sites. I could probably make a much longer post about how horrible my time was there. Eventually, sick and tired (literally) I left to find…
