Antiwork

I work at a small art/craft nonprofit. The board of directors are volunteers who don't draw any salary from their positions so you'd think we would be in a pretty good position to get reasonable pay and benefits, but that's unfortunately not the case. I've recently come into some information that confirms there's plenty of money to go around to provide staff with reasonable pay and benefits, but that these funds are being horribly mismanaged by the board instead (not illegally, just very dumbly). I'm not really sure what my first step is. I'm reasonably certain if it came down to a vote I could get a majority of the staff to agree to unionize, but I have no clue what I'm doing beyond that. Is there some sort of guide written up someone could share with me, or someone here willing to set me on the right track?

So I was hired for job A but I have been doing job A + Management B with tons of additional responsibilities. I’ve asked if they plan to have a Manager B position that I’d love to contribute but no luck. My workloads have been horrible so they had to hire one Contractor to help, but $200,000 contract was burned within 3 months and now I’m back to hell loops. Who makes things worst is my Manager. He does not have technical skills and management skills in Science and Engineering. He wouldn’t include me in important and meetings with Management. Infront of everyone, it’s always sounds like it’s He and I do the works, but it’s always me behind the scenes. Dude got promoted for being a “veteran of the company for XX years”. I’ve accepted a leadership role (1-2 years contract but my role is specialized and high-demand) with…

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…
