Antiwork

I plan on completing a Cybersecurity course at my university and then searching for IT jobs in Europe that will sponsor a work visa. Hope all goes well

Liquor store, worst place to work in town. I was 2nd most senior after 6 months. It had snowed 6 inches and no one was coming in. She got the bright idea to offer me 15 dollars an hour to come back. 15 an hour for that day. This was more than a month after id left. I did not go back.

I’ve read so many posts here stating that they have experienced a sudden raise in pay. Their employers told them that they did this great job and this is their reward . Fast forward to 2022, cost of living in any state has gone up . The employees felt that it wasn’t really a raise. It was just to put them at “market price”. I have gone through the same thing.

My brother uprooted from Austin to Houston 3 weeks ago for an accounting position. $26 an hour with the opportunity to double that in a year or two. Moved cities, found an apartment. In 3 weeks he caught all their books up from being 100s of payments delinquent. They fired him today with no notice and said they will hire two temps at $15 an hour for 30 hrs per week in his place.

He made a few mistakes jn his life but he’s been on the straight and narrow for over 10 years now. Someone will get incredible value…

Who else is of the opinion that the worker shortage is manufactured to get a lower overhead in the form of fewer employees, while at the same time recieving covid relief funds that can be forgiven under the proper circumstances? Step 1: Take loan Step 2: Keep wages as low as possible to maintain a skeleton crew and high turnover, encouraging employees to leave (not be fired) Step 3: Recruit without intent to hire and keep, only with intent to keep proof of hiring practice and to maintain step 2 Step 4: Qualify for loan relief for short term gain, allowing owners to diversify in real estate to perpetuate the rent trap This was already a corporate strategy before Covid, but since forgivable loans became a thing it's become incentivized, especially for larger operations. The US is being bought out at an exponential rate; I don't see how democracy will…
