Antiwork

I work at a smaller construction company, less then 30 people. We go through employees fast due to shitty management, no benefits, shit pay, and harassment. But we have had a small group of guys that have worked here 10+ years and they're a great bunch of guys. Well slowly over the last couple years even they are having enough and finding better jobs. Whenever we bring up issues we get blown off or told he's “working on it”. All the while he buys new BMWs and takes vacations every month. Well enough of his “lifers” have left for him to take notice. So he's finally offering paid time off with a catch. For every minute we're late he's going to take it from our PTO. I've never heard of that before, have any of you?

I just did an online interview for a position with Cancure. Their headquarters is in Australia supposedly and they do cancer research. Their website seems legit. The interview seemed legit. All seemed normal until I was offered the job thirty minutes later. The lady confirmed my contact info and says the company is mailing me a laptop and a badge. Don’t know why I need a badge for a remote position……then she says the company is sending a check for me to deposit into my bank account so I can purchase the rest of my office supplies at a nearby Staples or Best Buy. So at this point I’m like….yes. Probably a scam. What do I do now

Sorry in advance, am on mobile. For context, we are located in California – Bay Area. My friend works for a corporate retail company. He applied and was hired to a location just a few miles from his home. His boss asked him to help out at a store located about 35 miles away (one way) for a little over a month. They’ve refused to compensate for gas as this is considered his “commute”. Wondering if anybody knows if this is legal or if he’s getting fcked? I understand that’s his commute, but it’s not the commute he signed up for when applying for this job. And with current gas price hikes… something feels illegal. Any pointers are appreciated!!

I work at an incoming call center for MassMutual. I assist financial advisors and their assistants with home office stuff. This job is slowly making me want to end it all. I’ve never been so depressed at a job before. The amount of verbal abuse I get from these financial advisers is insane. The lack of support/help from my department is laughable. This job pays very well, and it’s the highest paying job I’ve ever had. This is the only think keeping me here, but I’m wondering if it’s worth it. I keep getting to a dark space in my head, and I loathe every single second I’m at work. Every second is micromanaged and our performance valuation is based on it. If you over a minute in your lunch break, you’ll get an email from the manager. It’s not fun. Our performance is publicly shared with your team, so…

Isn't this an anti-capitalist sub? It's confusing seeing so many people here defending predatory capitalists in the form of rent/landlords. I understand some may feel they have decent landlords, I understand some tenants may cause issues (guarantee It's mostly poverty-related), but ultimately we should be moving toward housing being gauranteed along with education, healthcare, etc. Seems that it's difficult for many to wrap their heads around a social structure that doesn't rely on exploitation and profit. If we at least had UBI (universal basic income), and rent-control, that would solve many issues in the short-term. It's also ridiculous seeing “this issue will kill the movement” – the mentality that said the same thing about the moniker 'Black Lives Matter'.  I'm not going to coddle anyone or wait for their lack of critical thinking skills to catch up with the rest of us – we can pull them into progress knucklesDragging.…
