Boundless amounts of it, never ending, if we just we let ourselves realise it and stop resisting it.
So my company recently increased the cost of our product, my province is increasing minimum by a significant amount and inflation is a thing. Today I asked my boss in three parts will any of these situations reflect our office getting a raise, and he said no. I believe that these individual things should lead to a raise and with them happening nearly simultaneously I think the office deserves a raise. I just want to know the subs opinion on if I were the share this around my office and potentially get a sort of petition going. I feel it is important to note outside management my office size is 8 people. Increasing by 3 come next month. As well I am not worried about losing this job as I will be moving in 2 months.
On the lookout for a new job with those mythical better conditions (in US so not all positions are ideal). I would love to work in a field I'm passionate about but the pay is not as good (animals). I'm in data analytics right now but only just starting out. Would love to combine my studies with my interests for a good paying job. At this point I'd settle for just better paying than my current position and with more steady work to do. Is there somewhere/someway to identify those open positions with better conditions when job searching?
Bob Geldof knew it in 1979
We had a lot of “counter culture” music in the 60s and 70s, but I think The Boomtown Rats' song “When the Night Comes” really nails the issue with the world of work under capitalism and we've basically just ignored all the signs for the last 50 years of what a clusterfuck this is and how much it's ruined people's lives. We're supposed to be grateful we're not living impoverished lives in developing nations and accept that they've “nailed you to your table and chained you to your desk.” We're told over and over for the last 50 years that the Frankie character in the song has achieved the good life. An office job, a place to live and at least basic food. Thanks Geldof for pointing out how depressing this existence really is… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qi2J4CA5anQ The offices are emptying their Pale-faced wards into the street Flickering their strip-light eyes Shivering…
Peak late stage capitalism
I've been a machinist for about 6 years, the interview is at a large international company. I've worked in horrible and wonderful shops, big and small. I've seen good and bad management, also good and bad environments to work in. From any with management experience in manufacturing settings. What are some things i need to keep in mind and be prepared to answer, and what are some good questions to ask them to be able to better gage how they treat their employees, and how the employees feel about the work environment. The job pays very well for my area, ill be nearly doubling my income but i need to be in a constructive environment and if that's not the case here, i can turn this down and be fine.
Walmart Continues Crusade of Confusion
So I work at Walmart as a cart pusher, it's a simple job but the pay could be a lot better considering how much one damages their body in the process of the job. I had to leave for a bit after failing a health screening (negative for covid, but I'm much more wary of where I get chinese food from now on), and I followed the steps provided, irritating as they may be: go to 3rd party website every day you would've worked and file a Leave of Absence if the leave is 5+ days. This information includes when whoever sent you on leave said it would be safe to return, which for me happened to be today (remember this as it's important). And I left it at that. Since it was due to a covid scare I get paid for days missed w/out penalty points up to 10…
