Antiwork

Companies like Tricon in Canada are purchasing tens (soon to be 100,000s) of houses so they can rent them out above market rate. They're coming to the US very soon. Why has the government not stepped up and made this kind of thing highly regulated. Give houses some kind of protected asset status so a few investors don't just own everything and decide the market rate of LIVING for EVERYONE.

At my job, if you are written up (an example would be not cleaning the store correctly) can an employer deduct agreed-upon commissions? Basically reducing my commissions due to me not meeting other standards of the job besides sales?

My favorite it Street Fight Radio, and I want other stuff like it. I don't care much for Chapo.

Last year I had a job that gave me training that was HORRIBLE. Every day I had a manager asking me if I had completed the two week trainings so that I could START. I was like, erm…”it's day 3.” He would harass me every single day and the training sucked. Now I have a new job and have two trainings LEFT and the lady in charge of the trainings keeps talking about “we need to hurry so we can get started” and has been rushing through the training, rendering the training pointless. The recruiter through email also has been stating “we need you to start already.” WTF? Why have trainings at all then? Just skip them all. They're not even paid anyways.

Just coming here to vent a little while I make a transition. In March 2020 I became unemployed from the previous company I had worked with. Over the next seven months there weren't many positions in my field due to the quarantine phase of the pandemic restricting hiring. In October 2020 I joined a startup company through a temp service At that time there were only 18 employees in the whole company that contracted with the temp service. I joined a team of four people, and we had a supervisor who was pretty hands-off because they wanted to retire and decided to join on with the company with the plan to retire in a year or two afterwards after the company started going. The first six months were turbulent. Nothing was standardized in what we were doing work-wise. Standards changed almost every week, if not twice a week. None of…

First question, most obvious: how much time do we need to get the information out there? From there, how do we get the word out? How do we convince people to join us? I was thinking a bit of vandalism. Maybe someone in here with printing and shipping resources could make stickers advertising it and we could all purchase them so that person isn’t getting exploited for the cause and put them everywhere, especially low-paying, Union-busting jobs like Walmart and gas stations. I think the biggest thing we fail at is distribution of resources. We know there are people who cannot afford to take even one day off work and still have a roof over their head. Hell, there are entirely too many of us in here working multiple jobs and having to choose between rent and food. Those people cannot afford to take off work for a strike unless…

If there are any issues or questions about my post please let me know, I'm a complete n00b with anything more difficult than Google. I'm very frustrated with my job right now and I wanted to share this to somewhere that will probably support me. Short backstory- I'm currently a 15 hrs full time college student as well as logging 25 hrs a week at work, that's not many but with my schoolwork + lab hours I have no time for myself. My only day without classes or work is Sunday and I typically spend it doing hw/studying/house chores. I've been feeling a little ill for the past several days but I attributed it to stress and seasonal allergies as springtime has always been horrible to me however I did get a COVID test just in case and it came back negative. I decided to get additional tests since I've…

Consider this quote from the famed philosopher Adam Smith: Do the great seem insensible of the easy price at which they may acquire the public admiration; or do they seem to imagine that to them, as to other men, it must be the purchase either of sweat or of blood? By what important accomplishments is the young nobleman instructed to support the dignity of his rank, and to render himself worthy of that superiority over his fellow-citizens, to which the virtue of his ancestors had raised them? Is it by knowledge, by industry, by patience, by self-denial, or by virtue of any kind?[1] What is Adam saying? [1]Smith, A. (1759). The Theory of Moral Sentiments. London: Printed for A. Millar, and A. Kincaid and J. Bell.

All the posts here, reminded me of the time I spent perfecting my resume and nobody ever properly looked at it. So now I am going to make to chaotic resume and see the results. And people who will say it will ruin my job prospects, I left the corporate job scenario months ago. I am preparing for a government job. This is my frustration of bunch of corporate assholes, who don't even look at the CV, also waste your time and then give no fucks afterwards. Because why not. People who will call me an idiot, well they would be right.
