Biden works from home

Don't let him fool you and please remind him of this whenever it is discussed. Companies are doing great without the added expense of commercial real estate and the country's businesses are not required to prop up the real estate industry.

I’m going in to get my check tomorrow and walking right back out.

I’m in college and my previous job couldn’t work with my hours so they let me go. I looked for 2 months to find somewhere that would to no avail. I was running out of money and had nowhere to turn. I sought out an old employer, a job I hated with a burning passion and made me want to kill myself .. but I knew that they’d work with my schedule. In the back of my head I knew it probably wasn’t a good idea but I felt desperate. So they offered me a measly $11/hr and I took it. I’ve been back for about a month and I am at my wits end I fucking hate this place so much. It’s so toxic. The managers are constantly swearing at the employees and even the owner of the place will cuss people out throughout the day for stupid petty…

We need to stop falling into the narratives written by main stream media. Asking for better pay and working conditions is not socialism, it’s CAPITALISM!

You are giving your services for a price/wage. If the company doesn’t offer you what you want, they will have to find someone else. You are in control of your price and demand. This is capitalism!! Don’t let the main stream media control the narrative of socialism and communism. Lower to middle class workers are just using capitalism for their benefits. If you want to be taken seriously, change the narrative.

Sorry this just annoyed me lol

I work 20 hours a week at a bar, and i’m very strict that i stick to this amount of hours maximum as I’m studying for a degree too. i’ve already done my 20 hours for this week, and someone called in sick today – so my manager messaged me asking if i can come into work for a few hours tonight. i straight up said ‘sorry i’ve made plans already and i’m not on the rota today so i can’t work.’ i don’t have plans but i don’t particularly want to work as i’d done the last two nights. she didn’t take it well and said something like ‘you know it’s good to be dependable sometimes’. excuse me? if i’m not scheduled to work then i won’t work, it’s not my fault someone called in sick, i do my job right and no one’s ever had an issue with…

Toast OS

Does anyone know if there’s a way for employers to omit tips to the ledger on the Toast Operating System? I don’t want to accuse my employer of anything, I just feel like I’m going insane. I had the evening shift at a coffee shop I work at. At the end of our shift, we check how much in credit card tips we pulled in during our shift and take that from the register. We check this using the Sales Report through the owner’s login, which we are told keeps track of all sales, no matter who is logged in to take the order. (Whether or not this is how we’re supposed to do it, this is how the boss wants us to do it.) At the end of the shift, before all of the regulars checked out, I had $14 in tips. When all of the regulars checked out,…

A friend was in training at a lash salon, today was graduation day but the owners fired the entire class and the class won’t be paid

We’re in Missouri. A friend of mine is an aesthetician and started at a lash studio 3 weeks ago. Today was their “official” graduation but management told them because of a couple snow days they would be in class until Friday. One of the managers had talked to my friend previously advising her that she was the only one meeting standards and if that kept up she’d be the only one graduating as they’re required to pass at least one person. Well the owners called all of them today and stated that none of them were up to standard and they were all being fired effective immediately and they would not be paid for the 3 week training. This all seems highly illegal and frankly pretty shady. What should she do?

My boss has always been… Over extending… But today he reached a whole new level of crazy

So, my boss have no boundaries whatsoever. For contedt, I work 9-5 desk job, not shift work, but I often get texts like at 10 pm, and one time he texted me at 2 am. Last week he also asked me what is the best way to contact me outside of work hours cause I rarely reply and internally I was like um yeah that's deliberate duh. BUT ANYWAY. Today he was like you have to be accesible AT ALL time when you're at work and straight up told me to bring my phone to the toilet??? Like bro what toilet was my sanctuary Edit: I am from a country in Asia without a strong employee protection law so there's nothing I can really do about it and also by boss I am talking about THE boss here. Like the ownee of the company. I work directly with him kinda…

I’m tired of trying.

My job gave us a pizza party last week for exceptional sales throughout February, and then the next day told us they're shutting down the warehouse and moving production to Mexico. They are least gave us almost a year in advanced notice but that's their hard cutoff, people will lose their production line job throughout the rest of the year as parts get moved. This whole country is a pyramid scheme.
