The rule is about your earnings and spending. Basically living within your means and is used to criticize workers. So what is it? 50% of your income goes to your needs. Rent, food, healthcare, phone, internet, education, health, things that keep you going so you can live and go to work. This is what “Capitalists” claim workers should have, magically. 30% of your income goes to wants and hobbies. Gaming, driving, vacation, friends, family, living life basically. It's important to have for your personal wellness and have fun. Funding your meaning to live. 20% of your income goes to savings and investments. Funds that should be set aside for your retirement, 401k plans, investments and such. You should never touch this money again until you're retiring. So why is it you're bosses problem? If your employer can't pay you enough to follow this rule, they don't deserve to have you…

So my SO work in HR and their company recently had raises for staff. The raises would be based on an overall score out of 3. 1 being the worst, 2 being meets expectations and 3 being the best employee. The score would be average out of a list filled out by you and your manager. My SO received an average of 2.55 of 3. The catch was anyone over 2.5 would receive a 3% raise and everyone bellow that would get 2%. I know, very generous raises. So we were annoyed that my SO was going to get a 3% but whatever. The HR manager had a team call with all the corporate staff that too many people were going to get a 3% raise and there wasn't enough money to go around so they were going to bump the score requirement to a 2.6 or higher gets a…

Took a mental health day this past weekend due to burnout from well gestures wildly at everything and received the following text: “I understand your need to take time for yourself and hope you feel better. However, we need you for coverage. Please at least try to come in for a half day to assist.” My response: “I understand your need for coverage but have to prioritize myself and listen to my body and mind when it's telling me I'm running myself thin. I've kept this schedule up for months and even mostly worked through when I had covid. I need to take the day. The company should prioritize their employee's health more than numbers.” This led to a Slack call from my boss about my schedule when I logged back in the next day. I asked to be moved to a Mon through Fri schedule and was told that…

Today I reached the conclusion that many privileged people are not simply dicks like I used to think, but they are just out of touch. In other words, they don't know what it is like to be unprivileged which causes them to say and act in a way that may look like what I described before. I am not rich but I do consider myself privileged cause I grew up in a country with free healthcare and an education system and scholarships (I am studying in the US currently). I have a friend back from my country with a similar background, let's call him Nate, he's also studying in the US with me. A few days ago we jokingly had a conversation about Nate wanting to be a “business guy”, I assume he wants to own a business and make a shitload amount of money, which is the dream for…
