I was told to find a new job, so I did

I started working for a field services company about 4 years ago. Early on and over the years I kept taking on other people's roles. Naively thinking that it would get me further ahead with the company. There was a person who worked for them in IT for about 10 years before I joined. He quit to start his own business without training the next person. When I arrived I was asked to fill his role. I was yelled at constantly, expected to deliver without any training. All I had was some log in passwords to the servers and I had to figure out the rest myself. And oh yeah I was expected to do field work as well. Fast forward to this month. I've completely taken over the role and much more. Brought their system to modern standards while flying and driving all over the country. I ask to…

Nation wide strike March 7th

Fuck this. FUCK THIS. Homeless people on every street. People can’t pay bills. Families can’t eat. Workers can’t rest. Rich get richer. We live in squalor and under constant anxiety of life getting flushed away with one surprise financial burden. “America the beautiful” my ASS. This shitty country doesn’t care about us or want us. What we forget is that we have the fucking numbers. what the hell are they gonna do if the entire country just stops. They can’t nuke all of us. It can be so easy. Dont go to work, who gives a shit about clocking in at walmart if you’re gonna still have to go hungry for dinner cuz you had to pay for the gas to get to work that day.

What is peoples rationale for not wanting universal health care?

Hi friends, I’m Australian and I’ve noticed a lot of post on here are about the US health care system. Now it’s pretty easy to see why your government wouldn’t want to push for universal health care (UHC) but I’ve always wanted to know what the talking points are, how do they and people that don’t want UHC actually justify it? Edit1: I truly believe the powers that be don’t want you to have UHC as a way to force you to work crappy jobs, if you have any medical conditions you can’t take a risk on a new job or a small business.

I was hired at a grocery store. I am a long term addict in recovery. I made my history crystal clear from the very beginning. I’ve been working for them for almost three weeks and got this in the mail yesterday. I have an opportunity to appeal, but after speaking to HR, it seems my chances are slim

I had to bite my tongue when my boss said this

In a meeting of expectations for the upcoming season, my boss mentioned something about how teens don’t work as hard because they’re just there for the paycheck. It took all my will power to not say “ are you under the impression that if you didn’t pay me, I would be here at all? “ Of course they’re here for a paycheck, as is everyone in the building – if I didn’t need money to survive there’s no way I’d waste my time working here.
