Need some advice on this. I’m currently going to school to become a welder and she’s a sales rep for an insurance company. Currently she’s is our only source of household income since I’m going to school. She absolutely loathes her job and says she refuses to go back but we have two young children to take care of. What should I do or tell her?
I'm so sick of being micro managed and expected to work overtime because they are short staffed. I already work side gigs, they knew that when I started. Hire more people, pay a decent wage but, don't force those who come in everyday, work hard, never call out to pick up extra shifts. We all have lives. If it weren't for health care I'd be gone. Just needed to rant. Thanks for listening.
Long story short I graduated the year of COVID, I worked for a bit in a job I hated and had 0 relation to the field I wanted to enter, quit after 2 months and spent 9 months job seeking/applying to grad school, which I've been in since last summer. Now I'm about to start at a company as a (well paid) intern and the background screening failed to turn up my 2 months of post-college work, as well as my current grad school. they want me to “explain this gap with supporting documentation.” Should I just lie and say I worked in that job until I started grad school? Or to hell with it and say I took 9 months to learn a new language, applying for grad school, etc. Gosh I fucking hate American corporate work bullshit culture.
To start, I want to say that I am a lawyer and work in employment law. I have studied employment law and tax codes in almost every industrialized nation and have a few things to say about the working conditions here. 1) We make so much money here in the United States, and if we taxed it properly, we could improve the lives of almost every person in the entire country. 2) The rich in America: CEOs, Partners, Board members – are largely paid in stock options, and stock options only are taxed when they are sold. But what you can do in the meantime, is take out cash loans on these stock options. SO the wealthy in America pay no income tax as they get their payment for life expenses in the form of untaxed loans. (there is a super easy fix, it is not difficult law, and it…
So my girlfriend works at Tesco, and shes doing her first shift of the day on self service, and then the other half of the day on produce. Anyway, the 12 hour shift is split at the 7 hour mark i believe, so she is “entitled” to a 30 minute break and then a secondary break on her “other shift” of 15 minutes only! when doing 12 hour shift your break is typically 1 hour and a half. Does anyone know if this is okay to do? They split the shifts with only a difference of 15 minutes! So she gets off then works her other shift 15 minutes later. I dont know if she realised or was explained this when taking the shift. Since they have never done this before. Edit: in case people are confused, its the same store.
