So my workplace has been full of absolute assholes and I didn't notice till day 3 (there is much more than just this), I work in a factory where we all wear earmuffs and can't really hear each other. One of my coworkers tried to ask me to do something but I misheard him and walked around our machine so I could better understand what he said, he then proceeded to throw his hands up in the air and cuss me out calling me useless and that he's not there to baby sit me (I've been in the workforce for 4 years and am 18 and he seemed to be in his late 40s early 50s) I think I'd understand that I don't need to be babysat considering at my other jobs I was fine working by myself ONCE I was trained enough to do so. This then continued with…
I’ve been here for awhile and never posted just read a bunch. I don’t mean for this to come off as hostile or anything like that. If you all are so unhappy with your job shouldn’t you just leave? If you think the pay isn’t correct and you have all this experience and talent shouldn’t it be easy to find a job with better pay doing the same thing? A lot of the posts I’m seeing now just sound like people who are angry and want people to agree with them or people trolling people just trying to do their jobs.
Problem resolution skills
Why not let people work from home? Take all those big corporate buildings and turn them into affordable housing?? (problem resolution flex)
I once worked at Nike years ago I think I was like 17-19. And my grandfather was in the military so I got a military discounts card since he was technically my legal guardian and I ended up using my Njke discount, with my Military discount on some shoes. Fast forward to a few weeks later. I decided to return the shoes and I was only seasonal so my employment was over at that time. One of the managers in training who took his job wayyy too seriously told me that employees whether current or former weren’t allowed to use other discounts on top of the employee discount so I couldn’t return my shoes unless I paid them back the money I got from the military discount. The discount was less than $10 so I agreed to pay the difference just so I could return the stupid shoes and get…
I'm 27 now and every time I think about going back to school I just remind myself that I can't work a full time 40 hour job. Jobs that take degrees aren't gonna want to hire part time. Am I wrong in thinking this?
I want to start out by saying I'm not an expert in this subject (economics) but as a millennial having worked for 2 different startups and a degree in science with a minor in bio. I'm with everyone here. I want to dispose a few myths here though that seem to trip a few people. A few people equate pointing out the faults of capitalism as an attack of democracy. That it's unpatriotic somehow in some sense. I see this in my very, largely, conservatives family now in the U.S. that came from countries from former Iron Curtin madness. It is a null argument as democracy isn't the only thing at stake regarding this debate: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technocracy There are other policies and governing bodies threatened by a democracy that doesn't care for the majority but the membered few. Democracy being better than socialism and communisms had to in retrospect absorb the…
Capitalism is American Oligarchy
Replace oligarch with corporation. They buy the politicians to write whichever law benefits them the most. They both optimize for the greatest good of themself, not society They both control media, labor, opinion, policy, crazy money, power. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
