Antiwork

“I'm not asking for much! Just a living wage ab $30/hr 30 hrs a week and 4 weeks of paid vacation” “ok well I just want $25/hr, I'll work 32 hrs and 4 weeks of paid vacation!” “Hey! you all are being selfish, I'll do the job for $20/hr and I'll work 40hrs a week, pwease hire me uwu” “Hahaha you guys are bunch of lazy spoiled brats! I'll do it for $18/hr and I'll work overtime without billing it no problem. I don't even NEED a vacation” You get the picture. If folks just want better work conditions and not a total rearranging of how production and distribution of resources operates you will end up working for $0.50 an hour. Without any kind of social or political structures to guarantee there are no desperate laborers someone somewhere will be desperate enough to break there bake for nothing but food.

I will have my exit interview with my manager and company owner. Manager was terrible and mostly why I’m leaving the company while the owner is fantastic and very respectable and genuinely cares about the employees. Should I bring up my grievances with the manager? Feels like I’m throwing him under the bus in front of his manager. I’m not sure if he has any clue and might be a surprise

My brother in law was working at a theater. He ended up hurting himself outside of work and has a torn ligament on his food. They were expecting him to work concessions instead of resting at the podium, knowing full well of his injury. Well they told him that to accommodate this, he would need another doctor's note, mind you he already provided one earlier. He ended up getting one from the doctor and quit at the same time. They asked why would you bring us the note if you were quitting, and he said it was to show he wasn't lying. They said we know you were hurt, but pretty much they didn't care. Awful, and wondering if there's anything that he can do.

Question from the state of Colorado, is it legal for my employer to pay out PTO hours even though I requested an unpaid day off? I would still work 32 hours that week which is the legal minimum to be considered full time in this state, but according to my boss some arbitrary company policy says full time employees must hit 40 hours a week. That is, at least, my interpretation of the way he explained it. I plan on speaking with HR tomorrow to clarify. We actually just got bought out by an even larger corporation and I have another HR department I can speak to about this as well. Any insight, recommendations, labor law info, anything is greatly appreciated!

I’m not sure who to call about this issue so thought sharing my experience might get me some advice for where to call. I went to my doctor for a appointment and my doctor told me I need to go to the hospital asap. He wrote me a note excusing my absence from work that night, (I only missed that shift and he excused me from work that night.) I sent the note to my manger and she came back asking for a surgical report signed by the surgeon who saw me. I refused as that extremely personal information I didn’t feel comfortable sharing with my employer ans was informed it was illegal for them to ask for. This doesn’t affect my ability to work at all and I’m not asking to change anything. Since I informed my manger I won’t be giving them a surgical report as that is…

So I am a college graduate who recently got accepted as an analyst into a trade company. I'm not a US-citizen, I do posses temporary legal work authorization but I need company sponsorship for a special type of work visa called H1b to further my legal work status. I was officially extended an offer last week, and a few days ago I sent an email to their VP, who was my last round interviewer and who approved my candidacy, to ask if the company is willing to sponsor my work visa. I explained in detail my current situation and how the work visa thing works. I didn't receive a response for two days till yesterday morning, a short email sprung into my iphone notification reading “your job offer was rescinded because you are unable to work legally in the US.” I was outraged since that couldn't be further from the…

I’m looking to leave my job with less than a 2 week notice but not sure if it could hurt me in the long run. Anybody quit in an abrupt way and regret it later?
