Currently experiencing wage theft.

You hear about it, but never think it'll happen to you. I haven't been paid for my first week of work, three weeks after the fact. “It'll be on the next check” is what management said today, same thing they said after I didn't get my first check, because of a “computer error”. Apparently my hours weren't tracked in the system, but my clock in times were? Doesn't make a lot of sense. I don't really know what to do. I got fired and was unemployed for a month and a half, we're in somewhat dire financial straights. I NEED this job, it even pays more (on paper lol) than my last one. Rent is due at the end of the month, if I don't work up until that point we'll be screwed. Edit: important info I forgot to add, I did get a check for the pay period I…

The Best and Most Comprehensive Guide to Finding a Job (If We Really Must Do it to Survive)

First off, right off the bat, I must say I am not selling anything and I certainly don't want any contact info. I just wanted to share what I learned from one year of unemployment and going through the daily, painstaking ordeal that is job searching and the exact process for how I landed a role, finally, with a job I don't hate. I'm with you guys. I despise the current work system and everything about it. Always have and always will. I was out of work for awhile not long ago, and I wanted to provide some resources that were the accumulation of all my personal research and assistance from job coaches, and the resumes I edited for my colleagues (once I figured out how), complete with notes on how you can do it, too. (They all got jobs as a result, btw. One friend, I kid you not,…

Go update your privacy settings on different social media.

Just a reminder if you haven't already but do some general house cleaning by making sure your privacy settings are what you want them to be like private or friends only. And to go through and check if there's any posts you don't want people to see. I'm sure you can find plenty of stories of people getting fucked over by work because they decided to search them up on Facebook.

Remember kids…

If your employer isn't giving you quality of life adjustments (raises) commensurate with inflation, you're essentially getting a pay cut. Do less. It's their fault. Until next time!

Ever feel cheated? Angry. I do.

I am 30. Middle class. Some investing. Ever feel like life cheated us? I feel like everything I do is a waste of time. People say oh your smart you knowing engineering. And? I’m not rich. I don’t have millions in the bank and yet some idiots on tik tok or some only fans , ig model is rich. It seems everybody is getting rich but us. It the system is rigged it is. I have worked 80 hours for 3 years before and guess what happened in those times? Inflation, 2020 shutdown, and all that money dried up real fast. Some owners I have worked for are such a-holes it makes me wonder why not me? I live as low as I can but you can make 50k and live on 20k but it would still take you 20 years invested in stock to get million. How tf are…
