Don’t worry too much about your references. Most of my Hiring Managers have never called them. References won’t indicate much about future performance anyway.

My work day is from 9:30am-6:30pm. My schedule fell apart so my manager cut my hours from Full day to leave at 1:00. They just cut my hours instead of giving me things to do in the office… tomorrow I have a busy/full schedule. Guess what I’m going ?? Calling in “Sick”. They don’t respect my time.

Doctor threatens my nurse wife!

My wife works at a hospital in Tampa. About once a month they will buy them cupcakes, chips, or lay down bubble wrap so they can stomp on it for “Mental Health Week”. Then post on their Facebook page about how great it is to work at that hospital…. I took it upon myself to comment on every post like,”it would be a lot better if they got free health care from the hospital they work at” or “it would be nice if you payed your nurses more instead of giving them 3 dollars in snacks a month” A few months into it a doctor came up to my wife and said that they are threatening disciplinary action against her because of the disparaging comments I have made towards the hospital. I ended up deleting all my comments so that she wouldn’t be fired because she has worked there for…

You know, if r/antiwork teamed up with r/blackhat, there’s both enough time and hackers to go up against every power monger that engages in slavery. Or murder. Or war.

Hypothetically of course. ​ Unfortunately, there's just no clear idea of what to do to fight these old school power struggles, and we're largely stuck inside a subreddit yelling to each other supportively. ​ And on the other side of the world, people who dared to step out of line with their master are getting suddenly bombed and murdered. Not for attacking anyone, or because their country was at war. But simply for succeeding. ​ What the fuck, guys. I don't even know how we can do this as humans anymore. Is the only thing to be done just hurling ourselves at the meat grinder, or getting caught in literal bombs if you don't participate? The fuck.

Today I convinced a baby boomer to consider paying her staff over market value.

I’ve been going for coffee with another business owner for a few months to connect, network and bounce ideas off each other. Me, late 30’s her late 50’s. We had planned on meeting at a new coffeeshop but needed to change plans when they couldn’t find staff to stay open. I started telling her a story of a family member who wanted to sell their business to their child. The child agreed to take over the business but after a year decided it wasn’t for them and started a new business. My family member just heard back from their child last week and they now want to buy the business. Not for the client base, not for the sales, but for the staff. They saw the staff as the largest asset to the company and they wanted the staff for the new business. That’s when her mind was blown and…
