Antiwork

I'm new to the work force and have had to take this week off due because I have covid. I was informed that since I have not spent enough days with the company and I am on payroll, I am not eligible for paid sick days. When calling in sick time to my supervisor each morning, I notice that my inbox keeps filling up more and more with emails – each of these usually includes a task for me to complete since most of my work is daily administration. At this point I've missed almost 4 full days of work and, since I am still receiving emails, I assume that I am expected to complete these 4 days of work once I return on top of keeping up with the daily load I usually receive. Not sure what my best course of action is right now, I am not eager…

Few months ago, we had a complaint from a customer which ended with a full refund of a few hundred dollars. Our employer paid for the extra expenses, but used our tip pool to refund the customer. Not sure about other states, but that is completely illegal in California. ​ We only have 4 employees, so I'm a bit unsure of how to go about reporting this without getting called out. I was the only one who complained, but was just shot down by everyone else. We've also been told not to discuss our wages, and surprise surprise everyone has a different wage per hour, mine being the lowest at 14. ​ Wondering if I could still report this to the labor people after quitting? edit: we received $0 in tips that paycheck, unfortunately I misplaced the paystub

I am lucky enough to have an interview for a job that has a 9/80 schedule. They explained to me that it means you work 9 hours a day and every other week you get a Friday off. Anyone have a schedule like this before? If so, what is your opinion on it.

For me is $50. I am not working for $49.99

Hi all. I need some advice on how to talk to my boss about how I dont feel comfortable doing what she's asking. I work in a nail salon as a receptionist, and one of the techs recently bought out the original owner and is making some changes around the shop. There are three main techs, who im not super close with but I really like. They're cool people. For whatever reason though, the new owner keeps telling them they're replaceable, micromanaging them and basically having a “my way or the highway” type approach despite the techs being there for a long time and wanting to continue to work st this salon. What I do: Answer phones, clean towels, sweep, check out clients. My boss, since signing on, has been telling me “you're my eyes and ears when im not here, never forget that.” Multiple times, in that and multiple…

So I was working at a medical device company they hired me through a temp agency I reached my one month mark 2 days ago. Wake up today to a phone call from said temp agency that they terminated my employment. But yesterday to recap came in seemed like a normal day but about 2 weeks ago the plant head retired was a older more layed back guy, this is important later I didn't know him long and only talked to him in passing. Well my department lead comes in after going to a meeting with the New plant head. Says we are all under review and our jobs are on the line demanded 600 units per line in 8 hours we were running 2 lines. ” Enough bullshit make it happen” then leaves for the day as he's day shift and I work the night crew for this plant…

I've been thinking a lot about how wealth is accumulated through our current economic system of capitalism. We as consumers willfully make purchases we want. In turn, wealth is accumulated and some lucky few become ridiculously rich. This forum talks a lot about capitalistic exploitation, through things like price gouging. I think if we as a movement want to change things for the better we need to change our lifestyles. Why do we continue to eat fast food and shop on Amazon, effectively feeding the machine we seek to kill?
