I’m looking for a good app to keep track of my hours at work

There have been a few discrepancies in the past, (along with every place ive ever worked at) and i know that they will scrimp and save on every dime that they can, and that wage theft accounts for the largest form of theft in the US. I just want to have the agency to track my own hours to compare against the hours that they have listed for me. Does anyone use any third-party apps that they use to track their own hours? I think it's important for everyone to track their own hours.

Be Our Guest – Beauty & The Beast

I was listening to this song and these lyrics really stuck out: Life is so unnerving For a servant who's not serving He's not whole without a soul to wait upon Ah, those good old days when we were useful Suddenly those good old days are gone WTF? Children’s media already programing us into a servant and boss class.

Getting two weeks notice should never be an expectation of employers!

I think it's fair to say almost everyone has been fired or laid off at least once in life, at this point. When has an employer ever gone “Jeff we have to let you go, but we're giving you two weeks to figure it out.”? Um, never. Why should anyone give an employer a courtesy they would never get themselves? The idea seems asinine. BuT tHeY nEEd TiME tO fInD a RePlaCEmeNT… Well, studies show it takes three months on average to replace even a low level employee. Why is that any of our problem? The HR recruiter has to do their job and find talent regardless if we're there or not. It's just the cost of doing business.

purse search at walgreens?

I have a friend that works at walgreens and she says every night they have to have a manager check her purse every night after she leaves a shift. And sometimes it takes over fifteen minutes for her to leave after work because a Manger needs to check her purse after she has clocked off. Is this normal and legal? It just seems really weird and it even holds up the line with other customers in it. She said her privacy felt violated.

I honestly don’t know where we go from here…

According to recent data, the average individual needs to make $30.77/hr to “only” pay 1/4 of their salary as rent each month. (The recommend amount) That number is wrong. Assuming you're saving 4% into a 401k, putting away $100/month into your HSA and the government is only taking out 25% in taxes you need $84,000/month or $40.38/hr. Or nearly 30% MORE than is quoted in the post. If you're making below $84,000k/year (nearly 85% of America) you literally can't meet the standard rent requirements on your own. We are fucked.

I don’t see how this magnitude of dishonesty in the working world is sustainable

I'm someone who believes that above all, people should have a commitment to the truth. As Picard put it, “…whether to scientific truth or historical truth or personal truth.” The best way to go through your life is to acknowledge the hard facts and base your beliefs and factions off of those facts even if it might slaughter a sacred cow of your worldview because a problem does not cease to be if you ignore it. Reality does not conform to philosophy. So looking at the entirety of working society, I see basically the exact opposite from top to bottom. -When applying for a job, you basically need to stretch the truth or even outright lie about things in order to get hired, and don't you dare answer honestly to questions of what your weakness is and other such matters. Perhaps it's more fun to find out the facts of…
