Cursed out a former employer

Hi, I gave a piece of my mind to a former employer in a public park in Philly a while ago. I recorded the whole thing. It was not pleasant, I cursed him out etc. My question is is it allowed to post? It was epic!

Manager Decides To Cut Hours Without Notice [Vent]

I hate my manager so much. When I first came here, all the other coworkers told me about her anger issues and that as long as you're not on her bad sad, things will be fine. But without talking to me at all, she reduced my days in half. Apparently, she had a meeting with all the workers and told them that they've been lacking in performance. And then she said that from now on, scheduling would be based on performance. I wasn't working that day. I wasn't even scheduled to work that day. I had to hear about this from another coworker. She hasn't email me anything about it and this meeting happened three days ago. I wish she would've talked to me first at least. For clarification, this is retail job.

Forced to Work with Covid

My fiance had several friends over this past weekend and many of them are sick and have tested positive for covid. Regardless my fiance's boss is requiring him to work and is telling him to not take a test even though he is clearly sick too. One of his coworkers is old and already not in good health, and I'm really worried contracting it would kill him, not to mention the customers. This is so so so fucked up. What can we do??????

Ultimately though we all need to stop thinking in terms of money.

The rich elites don't really think of money, money is just a proxy for them to partition off more and more natural resources and manufacturing power. Every single rich person you know is, at least on paper, in constant massive debt, but the whole scheme is that they're taking on that debt to hoard more and more resources so they can take on more debt to hoard more resources. And no, no one's foreclosing on someone for doing this, haven't you been paying attention? In 2008 they literally just shoved as many tax dollars into their accounts as possible so that people could keep buying the scheme. Once you escape the mind prison of “money” you'll be able to live a lot more mindfully and be able to focus on what actually matters, making sure the people you give a shit about are fed and healthy. This is distribution of…

Pick my battles? Okay.

I'm relatively new to the workforce, having graduated college in May of 2020. I've been told time and time again by managers, HR, and co-workers to learn how to pick my battles. However, it seems that not picking my battles has worked out quite well. Have gotten one extremely toxic senior engineer fired, one racist project manager demoted, 25% wage increase in two years, and HR to back down from their attempts to discriminate against my disability. I always advocate for my fellow coworkers and will speak out for them whenever I can. All of this while doing a kickass job and getting almost nothing but praise from my clients. Seems like I'm picking them quite well.

My girlfriend is being sexually harassed by customers at work.

My girlfriend and I work in a grocery store and she and the other female cashiers constantly get sly remarks and are sometimes touched by customers. They've notified management and even one of the owners and no one is doing anything about it so, I wanted to know if there was anything we could do to stop this from happening.

My Company is Paying me a Third of the Industry Average

just found out my job is paying me less than half of the industry average in my area. I'm furious. I'm in an apprenticeship programmer position. This company offered me a position while I was at a homeless shelter, paying me 20 an hour, ~33K per year. I'm in Seattle. I'd grown a little suspicious of how good they claimed I was getting it lately, especially after I saw an ad for working at Dick's drive-in, a fast food restaurant in Seattle, which had better benefits, and payed a dollar less. then the other day I talked to someone who's been deeply involved in the programming industry for a while, and found out that their company offers about 100K per year for apprenticeship programs. which, tbf, is higher than the industry standard. which brought me to look into what the industry standard actually was. turns out, in my area, it's…
