Systemic issues that cause bosses, supervisors, and mid level managers to act the way they do.

The culture of the US could be described many way because we are so multicultural. One of the aspects of American culture that has lured so many people from all of the world to the US is the idea that if you work hard you can make something of your self. Which is a beautiful concept. The idea that if you study and get good grades and add value to society you will be rewarded. Their had always been greed and unfair situations, but it seems that at some point the C-suites, politicians, and the Powers that be, taught the middle class that the lower class of society where the source of most of our societal issues. This position or view shifted the collective attitude of the middle class to view the lower ends of the low end of societal-economic scale with disgust. And this shifted over the work environment.…

Still no W2

It’s now February 24th, w2’s in my country (USA) we’re required to be sent out by January 31st for tax season. Gave it two weeks for time in the mail to be generous for its delivery time but it’s still not here. What can I do? I feel like my employer didn’t do the one thing he need’s to do on time and quite frankly actions have consequences. What can I do?

Would you move from the US to a foreign country that offered Universal Basic Income?

I know many of us are on this thread because we're not happy with the status quo & the way we are workers are exploited for corporate profit. If a foreign country offered Universal Basic Income, all you had to do is learn the language, would you make the difficult choice to leave the US?

New Guy here; Recently became a Instrumentation Electrical Technician

Long story short: I worked harder than I had ever imagined I would only to see havoc in my department. We have a gigantic shortage (40%) for one. And then our boss said he won’t increase our salary or hire new employees. Next month when I receive my license, I will be joking the ‘Safety Department’. Safety isn’t my favorite job but I’ll at least get paid for my hours and not be obligated to do a job of 3 sometimes even 4 people.

I have a quick question. . .

Is it legal for a workplace to conduct lunch box checks at the end of the shift in the USA? For context, I mean in a construction/industrial environment that does not have products created for consumers. What is the legality of this sort of thing and could someone be fired for refusing to allow inspection (person only has food and personal stuff in lunchbox fyi). Thank you in advance.

I said very firmly when accepting the job that 20 hours is my maximum. So they stretched that over 6 days. It’s an evening job and I work manual labour in the day. If they try and get me in on Sunday….
