I work in a fortune 50 corporate HR department.

Specifically in the department that is responsible for culture, training, and affirmative action (and yes the department that creates all those company propaganda videos). I complained internally about being abused/intimidated into an explicit departmental plan to promote unqualified white people over minorities (which I didn’t submit to). I’ve been speaking to lawyers, but I’m not sure I have a case since I am white. Maybe “HR” will come back and fire everyone involved after they finish their investigation (company is so big we have HR for HR), or maybe a lawyer will take my case. Any recommendations for what to do if those things don’t work out? I’ll keep the company name secret for now (legal stuff pending and all), but it’s mentioned all the time here. You guys are creative- thought you might have some ideas. Believe it or not, there are HR people with souls who do the…

Required Charity Events

My daughter works as a teller for a local bank, she's been there about 6 months or so and for the most part enjoys it. Makes $15 an hour, which isn't too bad for a college kid that still lives at home. I just got wind that she is required to attend three charity events in a year so the bank has “representation” during these events. All fine and dandy, but she is not getting paid to attend these events. Typically they are on Friday/Saturday evenings for several hours. Is it legal that they are required to attend these events and not be paid for the time they spend there? I can make a call to the labor board next week, but figured I'd ask here first.

Scams about work from home

So I have been helping my fiance try to find a work from home position and have come across a lot of shady offers that seem to just be after her personal information and bank info. She has medical issues that have made her lose jobs in the past that are easy enough to deal with if she can work from home (she can take a moment when pain flares up and incapacitates her without a crappy boss yelling about productivity even if she meets her work load expectations). Is there any good way to avoid these or find a website better than indeed to find work from home jobs? This shift can literally enable her to not have to look for a new job every 8 months and won't force us to keep moving to try and accommodate. I am sorry if this post is a bit out of…

The simple narrative taught in every history class

Is demonstrably false and pedagogically. Dont you know the world is built with blood and genocide and exploitation? The global network of capital essentially functions to separate the worker from the means of production
