Antiwork

Like people work no more that 40hrs, they pay interns, same wages for male and female workers in the same positions, no suicided workers in last 5 years, they dont time your toilet time etc… sincerely i care way more about those than the environment or bio products. And id pay more.

So I've been working at this company in the UK for a few years now, it's a sales-esque position that does have a commission structure. The basic pay structure & commission gets paid a month in arrears, so at the end of April we get paid for February hours. Is this normal? The bit that confuses me most (and wanted to know if anyone else has come across this) is that they date the payslips for the current month. For example: At the end of April, we get paid for February hours and the payslip is dated for 30th March. Forgive me if I'm being naive here, but this is giving me red flags. If anyone has come across this before or has an answer, please let me know!!

Hope this is the right place to ask. Here's the run-down: I'm a composer and part-time music teacher. Worked at the same middle school for four years, and it's a good job for me 15 hrs/week means I can write music and $30k/year means even when the movie score gigs aren't coming in (like this year) I can squeak by. Recently, we got a new head of school and he announced there was something “illegal” about how we were getting paid and we'd be switching to hourly. We would be paid the same amount and nothing would change. First, our pay schedule changed, then, they asked if they could compress our pay schedule to 10 months instead of 12 (so we'd get paid out before the summer). Fine: I'm getting my money early, and I just need to be a bit more responsible with it. After much digging, he did…

A few years ago, in Ottawa Canada tornados touch down causing widespread damage, flattened a neighbourhood and killed power in the city for nearly a week. Thankfully there were minimal casualties. I was 22 years old and worked at a Restaurant on the other end of town as a dishwasher. The sky was nearly black as pitch and we knew the weather was going to be nasty. People in the restaurant carried on as normal. In the break room, the television had tornado warnings on and we recieved and emergency alert. But none of our customers seemed to pay it any mind. Nor did our management decide it was a good idea to close so we could seek shelter, or to warn the guests of the dangerous storm. What if another tornado touched down nearby? Are we only supposed to react when there was imminent danger? Storms can be very…

Basically the title. Work for a green coffee company, have for a few years. Got new managers, and they are requiring me to take my lunch within the first two hours of business open because we are “too busy” for the rest of my 6 hour shift. Meaning I would get my 30 at 6 AM and only get to sit for 10 minutes twice after. Welllll, I haven’t been doing that because the green coffee company can afford to pay someone to cover my lunch?? Today I was told that if I don’t, I will be removed from open and placed in closing. All of this feels like it’s against California labor laws but I don’t know. I’m on my lunch and just so upset.

So my company messed up my pay and didn’t include the right amount or the additional things promised. So I called them on it. One person proceeded to lie to me and tell me they’d submitted the things needed and clearly they didn’t. They then told me I had BEEN paid. Yes… 1/5th of the proper amount… So I had to literally fight for 5 days for them to say they’d pay me properly… in 3 weeks. Do I quit or do I quit?

I like to save out different responses in a notepad document so I can copy paste them into emails. This way I don't have to waste time typing out the same shit day after day.
