I just did and it was simple but I long process I worked for 30 yrs saved as much as I could while paying off all debts Invested traveled as much as my job allowed which was 2-3 weeks a year I lived within my means 2 divorces two houses and when I turned 50 I quit No debt only my mi thy expenses for taxes food utilities etc so I went or Central America for a month surfed everyday can back and got a part time job that covers my expenses Put your head down and do the work and you can get out while your still relatively young Next plan is gonna be an extended road trip through Baja

Has anyone gotten away with this? What do you do about LinkedIn?

College is a racket, you end up with $80,000-$120,000 of debt and then when it’s all said and done for the degree is practically useless. This shit show of a world isn’t getting any better and you’re not going to be able to change anything with $100,000 of debt and not shit to your name. Get a trade where YOU set the standard for how much you get paid, Do a good job and keep your reputation up and good paying work comes along. And yea it probably won’t be some cushy office job, but fuck it YOU will set the standard and tempo.

The boss at my new job is trying to schedule a mandatory paid meeting and suggested a day that I have off. He was texting about it in a group chat between all the staff. I don’t even want to respond to the text because I’m sick of getting messages from work and being expected to respond to them on my day off or whenever I’m not working. I don’t even know what to do and it’s stressing me out. It’s a minimum wage job that I’ve been enjoying so far but this shit doesn’t even feel worth it to me. All the messages, I mean. Anyway, I’m not going to a mandatory paid meeting on my day off. I wanna tell him this but then it’s gonna end up being on some other person’s day off. I don’t know what to say or do. Any advice? I’m getting stressed…

Part time job. Yesterday I “trained” for 3 hours. Boss/owner was on the phone 3/4 of the time. I go in today and she gives me her personal physical therapy appointments to add to her calendar in Outlook. I entered them but I didn't send them to her. I believed since I'm adding to her calendar (I can see her other appointments) everything should be ok. Well I guess not because she yelled at me. “You have to get this right honey. Now you have to do rework which is wasting time”. Second day. While I'm updating her calendar I am also on the phone with IT support at GoDaddy getting voice recognition set up and running on 2 computers. She interrupts to chew the guy out for taking so long using the expletives “Fuck” as in this is fucking taking to long, and “What is this shit”, so on…

I've been following this sub for a while (power to the people!) and I see a lot of viral and blatant abuses of power by employers. What do I do as an individual to help support laws and infrastructure that support change?
