CALL TO ARMS: start giving businesses 1 star reviews for how they treat their workers

So I've got about 50 1 star reviews right now for all the grocery stores in my city. It goes a little something like this: “I'm giving every grocery store a 1 star review until cashiers are allowed to sit in chairs while they swipe my groceries. My prediction is I'm never going to stop giving grocery stores 1 stars but please prove me wrong by treating your workers like human beings for once.” It's cathartic. But it got me thinking. What if everyone in /r/antiwork started giving companies reviews for the workers? Maybe they'd review their inhuman treatment of their workers? I mean I doubt it but let's find out y'all!

Just signed an offer for a new job making 54% more than I make at my current job.

Plus uncapped 1% commission on company wide new sales of the product line I will be managing. And I will no longer be in a sales role. Happy fucking Friday! I can't wait to get the reaction from my current managers. They don't get to find out for a couple weeks. I've literally been carrying the team for months. They didn't seem to think that entitled me to a raise. Just hollow praise. And more work. Fuck that. There is hope out there. Never stop looking. Ask for more than you think you're worth. Never take the first offer.

Called My Company’s Bluff

My work has been struggling with for a year with both hiring and retaining employees. Instead of addressing the reasons for this, they force those of us still there to work mandatory overtime to fill the gaps. It's been this way for seven months. Instead of the 4/10 schedule I agreed to, I've been working my day off on Mondays so it's been 5/10 for seven consecutive months. Recently I decided to change careers, but the class I'm going to take doesn't start till July. I sent an email to my manager two weeks ago that I was no longer available to work Mondays. My manager responded that I didn't have the right or option to say I'm not available on my days off. They scheduled me the following Monday, then called and texted me frantically when I didn't show. I was written up for it later that week. They…

I think this may be illegal?

So a friend of mine is working at a place (kept vague on purpose). It's hourly wage Minnesota. The deal is over summer they get an extra few bucks per hour for working if they do all the shifts over the summer and don't call in more than once. Is it legal to condition it like that

Need advice on asking for a raise

Context: my coworker & I would like to get paid more but we’re not sure how to go about it. We work manufacturing and most other manufacturing jobs in the area start off $1-$2 more than what we’re currently making, albeit many others also have a lot more overtime and shift differentials. Our employer gave us 10% performance raises last fall, bringing us both to just shy of $18/hr. When I tried talking about it 2 weeks ago w/ my supervisor, explaining we’re doing exceptionally well lately, he only asked if I’d be willing to learn another job. I suggested not atm since others doing our job will be retiring soon he might want to keep us where we were for now. He said all the workers in my position are paid at the top tier atm so he can’t do anything about that (which idk if I believe). Ultimately,…
