Antiwork

I always want to understand what I perceive to be opposing viewpoints and I’ve been reading posts for about a month now. Here are some questions I have: Granted every country/state/region would have different requirements… but what would this group consider a livable wage range? How many hours a week is too many and why? Lastly, sometimes the comments sections are pretty divided on this; do you believe that an employer has a reasonable right to quality work if you agreed to work there? Disclaimer: I’m not an employer. I work two jobs to support a family.

Had a interview with a very bad company ericsion tpa which said was hiring for crm job role in a but the work they said me was very different those 2 guys just want to break every person coming for interview for their sadistic pleasure and as per their view even a ceo work is called back end job these are the people who search for 10 years experience person for a beginners pay

So I started working for a moving company as a means to supplement income for my “main job” which was at a grocery store. Eventually I wound up leaving the grocery store to feel more comfortable with working in the pandemic as the moving job had minimal contact with customers. Was not my first choice but took what I had and was even being paid more than the grocery store and given a dollar raise after about 9 months with the company. Fast forward a year to now over 2 years of employment and I still can’t get my boss to tell me when there’s work more than a day in advance. He will often just send out a group text to me and my coworkers saying “work tomorrow @ [time]“ with no further details even after requesting for them sometimes. The work will be far from consistent. Might work…

Applied for a job thru a staffing agency. The pay was below my minimum, but it was 4 miles from my house and I liked the job responsibilities. Ad said temp-perm if I did a good job/attendance. Went to the interview and seemed ideal but the hiring manager said she doesn’t know when/if it would turn permanent. She didn’t know if I’d be there 3-6 months, Or hired on permanently. I wasn’t really keen on that. She ended up offering me the position, I said yes but didn’t sign anything. I was sort of shocked in the moment. Staffing agency said I needed to sign some paperwork. First – the only way they pay is thru a “Comdata credit card” which has all these fees attached/limited ATM’s. I called and said I would rather just a direct deposit to my bank. She said not an option- but after 2-4 weeks,…

Red flag or no? This is my first week at this company, and they're on top of safety and things like no other company I've seen but during an orientation meeting I had on Monday they said that we're forbidden from striking. This is a right protected by the NLRB right?

We work just to keep from becoming broke and homeless. That's our purpose Then we die No heaven, no hell Dirt dust and worms

Run my own small consulting company but largely work with one client (about 3 years). Love working there, love the team, but the leadership is disconnected from reality and my division is extremely strapped with resources and headcount. Probably a 4 to 1 contractor to FTE ratio. Client recently went public and since I’m technically a contractor (grossly misclassified job) I got zero stock/equity incentives. Watched everyone I work side by side with get massive bonuses/stock options/payouts. I’ve made it no secret I want to be converted to a FTE and be done consulting. Going on three years of this and even their legal department has said my contract is hard to renew each year since my position is misclassified as an “independent contractor.” Starting soliciting job offers end of last year, got a few but nothing really competitive to get me to leave my own business. Then out of…
