Capitalism is moral bankruptcy.

If burger flippers, order takers, floor moppers, and the rest of the restaurant staff get a percentage of each sales order in addition to their hourly wage, just imagine the productivity increase with this profit sharing incentive, not to mention the positive attitude they would radiate to customers

I’m about to complete my internship and the company in pressuring me to sign a fulltime position contract.

Hi guys, For context, I'm at the end of my 12 week part-time internship, which was unpaid by the way when I technically should be getting paid because my work is contributing to the output of the company. Last week, the director pulled me into his office (Its a very small tech company) and asked me If I would like a full time position and I said, “It's all dependent If a contract is offered, I would need time to read through it and everything”. Since then, I've had second thoughts about working at a small company like this. I haven't really had proper marketing training and was essentially thrown into the deep end. “Create this, design this, post this, do this for me, etc”. I taught myself photoshop and using canva during my internship despite only using it once in University. I don't want to work at this company…

Disclosing disability to an employer

When is the appropriate time (if at all) to disclose a disability to an employer? I've kept my medical issues to myself since I started my current job. Recently they have been asking me to do work which I know will aggravate my conditions. Should I stay silent and file for workers compensation if I get hurt? Or disclose my disabilities to avoid doing the new tasks? I don't want to come off as making excuses but I'm not trying to hurt myself either. (BTW I should be leaving this job in the next few months) Any advice is appreciated. Thanks

The Government experiment has failed

I'm not talking about a specific governmental experiment, I'm talking about government itself. We have reached a point where no matter the system we as a species come up with there's always someone who can use the system to gain far too much power and wealth. I think its time we stopped treating governance as a viable form of taking care of people and started looking at other options. Do we revert back to living in smaller tribes? Do we ride around in biker gangs? Do we resort to full blown anarchism? That I don't know, but we need to get rid of this system which has run its course and ia now actively ruining lives

One on One meeting is getting too much

How would you word it if you want to reject a 1 on 1 meeting? I find it stressful at this point doing too many 1 on 1s. Had a One on One with the manager just two weeks ago. It literally nothing to talk about in this meetings. The job is not a job that requires a 1 on 1 to begin with. What would you do??

College? Why?

On mobile, blah, blah, hope post not removed for. I waited to got to college until I decided what to do. My sister ( 2yr younger & poorer grades) went to college before me. She switched and switched majors costing my parents money. I eventually went, & paid my own way. I changed from a nurse to health information management. I went to a cheaper school that offered a free internship that could guarantee me an entree level job. Did what was required and got an entre level job at $14/hr. My sister never graduated because she made 3+ more as a waitress. I graduated and spent 8 years at a company with one raise of $0.05 (leading oncology center in SW Florida who recently went bankrupt and sold to overseas company) then quit and went to work as a waitress for the- less hours worked, more money. Still owe…
