Antiwork

I get fed up with certain policies or even being made to feel like I'm screwing everything up. But I don't feel good leaving the kids behind. I am a Dean's secretary, arguably one of the most stressful secretary position at a high school in a lower income area. I've had a student throw a ceramic pot at my head, I've been in 3-4 hard lockdowns, I've been cursed at and threatened, 3 guns and multiple knives that we know of on campus, all of which occurred since my September start date. But what I can't stand is the principal never being satisfied. She was don't tardy lockout every class period, and when I made the initiative to get more printed out, she said no, we have to edit the writing, after the graphic arts lady already printed them. I edit the master to exactly what she said, have them…

Rant. I'm a former operations manager with a wide skill set. At my peak I was making $67k/year and was comfortable – I did not need to make more money to keep up with my lifestyle and hold down a healthy savings. After being laid off, I've been holding down one part time job making $20/hr for a year and in the last 9 months have been working at a restaurant for $14.50/hr. I'm barely holding it together to cover my bills and have fallen behind on car payments, car insurance, and medical bills. I have enough to cover rent, phone, groceries, and a tank of gas each month. To say I'm losing my mind is an understatement. I've applied to at least 50 jobs since the start of the year, probably 50 more last fall, and have gotten an interview for two with no offers. I am constantly on…

TL;DR at the bottom (“too long, didn't read” – summary in the bottom paragraph). Trying to keep this brief, and I'm sure it'll come across as salty to some (which I guess I kind of am salty, I'll admit). Long story short, I worked for this big insurance company for almost 5 years. I started at 18 going on 19 – it was my first real job. I was very good at it and climbed the ladder very quickly, especially being one of the youngest people there. I started there in 2013 making $12/hr and was making $20.68/hr towards the end of my tenure. I joined the company as they were undergoing massive changes. It was a laid back company before the owner sold to a big European corporation. They started firing execs that didn't save the company money. I.E. one year the company did so exceptionally well everyone got…

I really don't know where to start, I'm just a guy who for some reason stumbled upon this while exploring the internet. Please ctritize and question this idea/theory because I'm definitely missing something. I know a lot if this is found in Marxism or socialism etc. (This is where these ideas have come from) but why don't we have a law that would make companies distribute 50% of net revenue (after taxes, material costs, etc) evenly to all employees. This would be additional to their existing salaries, with also adding a law so an employee could only be paid up to 10x the lowest paid employee's salary. Take this example: The Royal Bank of Canada Net Revenue: $16 05 000 000 cdn Total employees: 85 301 Hypothetical Employee Entitlement: $8 025 000 000 Gross Compensation Per Employee: $94 078 For context, the average frontline employee grosses and average: $31 200…

Title says it all. I work for a major business that scams people daily and wanted to know the best way to anonymously report this activity

It claims that I claimed benefits for six weeks that I was working. I checked my bank statements and I was not working at that time. I checked my email logs and I was off at that time. And to make it worse. The pay amount they have listed on the letter is $1200 more per week than I was actually making at the company I was at before I filed for benefits. This is gonna be hell. Does anyone have any experience with anything like this and know what I need to do? They are wanting to take $3500 from me.

As stated in the title, I (29F) have stayed at home while the kids are little for the past 4 years while also going to school full-time for a lot of it. I graduated college in December and the time has come for me to start contributing financially. I just really don’t want to . The thought of having to go to an office every day, having a boss and coworkers, not hanging out with my youngest all day or being able to drop everything and pick up my older two from school if they need me makes me want to cry. I’ve literally thought about OnlyFans or finding a secret sugar daddy. I’ve looked all over for ways to work from home without having to take calls and risk my toddler being needy in the background. I’m not saying I don’t want to work, I just don’t want to…

He said this and I was so taken back I didn’t know what to say. I tried talking about labor shortages and he just dismissed most of it. He kept talking about how it isn’t really hard to live in America you just have to work hard. To give a background he has lived a privileged life never having to worry about money. His parents provided everything for him and his father owns a company which he gave him a job at. He’s constantly talking about money making schemes and how we should all invest more. All this was frustrating to hear since I’m working and putting myself through college full time and my wife is a full time teacher.
