just been dismissed

So i worked for the national post for about 4 years. It was shitty work and a shitter work environment unfortunately circumstances forced me into this job even though I have a university degree ( Product Design). I thought about resigning multiple times but I guess a steady paycheck kept me there. Today I was dismissed effective immediately, basically because i don't want to be there so my performance was on the steady decline. I was trying to hide my smile when they told me and act regretful but truthfully i feel liberated. However that makes the question…now what? any advice? I like to think I'm a fairly intelligent and capable personm i have a university degree but unfortunately never worked in my field so I'm sure what kind of work to look for now as I definitely don't want to end up in the same place. Any help would…

Owner of company claims all negative reviews are spam.

Not sure if this is the right place for this but I had my vehicle “cleaned” here and they did a poor job so I contacted them. Owner is very quick to anger and if you look through the comments you can see he just claims every negative review as a scam. If you are in the St. louis county and need your vehicle cleaned, I would not recommend mobile auto pros. Screw work places like this.

Small businesses/restaurants that refuse to raise wages by saying it will hurt their bottom line – why don’t you publish your finances?

Obviously all identifying info would have to be censored, but publishing itemized revenues and expenses (including anonymous payroll) would be the ultimate way for a business to prove that they couldn’t afford to increase wages, or their current wages are fair. If they’re paying an excessive amount for rent or supplies, that could be shown in a verifiable manner and help us all understand who is truly to blame. If the numbers check out, the community can more strongly empathize with the struggling small business – but if the numbers are ridiculous, it’s the perfect motivation for the community to hold that business accountable. What do you all think of this idea?

timesheet fraud/student worker

okay so i already posted about this but i’m gonna share again with more details because my anxiety is thru the roof and i need advice. i was fired with “just cause”, not sure what to do now or expect. this will be a long post and i want to preface by stating i am not trying to make excuses, but i just need to know what i’m in for. im at senior at university who had been working a student office job for almost 3 years. i excelled at my job and was promoted to supervisor a few months ago. however, these past few months have also been the most difficult of my life. i suffered two losses in my family, was physically assaulted and left with injuries, and my mental health was at its absolute worst. i have trouble confiding in people and didn’t disclose my mental health…

Some Thoughts on Food Delivery Services

I've been an employee at a popular sandwich chain for about four years, and in that time I've worked throughout the implementation of GrubHub/Doordash/Uber. Because of these apps, my daily workload has effectively quadrupled, but wages or staffing has barely increased. This doesn't seem fair to me at all. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
