Antiwork

I was working as a soccer coach. We ran a class for young kids not in school to start learning basic things and following instructions, a one hour class. For the last 3 months we have had this new hire who is an ex military guy, American, who was living in Korea until his mum passed from cancer and COVID prevented him from returning to Korea. We will call him Dave. So Dave was given the shifts for the little kids and there were typically two a day 3 days a week. As was the norm for many other programs the business ran, he recorded his hours as 2.5, because he would come in early to set up and clean up afterwards. In fairness it was not a full half hour of work to set up and clean up. Dave was assured that he would make 18/hr after 2 weeks…

A few months ago I started a new part time job. Full time is too hard for me to manage between my kids and my cancer. Anyways, I took the job at $14 an hour. They originally tried rescinding that and offering $12, but I got $14. The job is fairly easy, and I enjoy getting to organize and consolidate everything in the building. I asked if I could learn more as this business is something I have seen myself growing in before. They seemed eager for me to train but were dumbfounded when I insisted that I also be paid appropriately for it. I told them I need a $2/hr raise to start and little more once I become full time, which they offered to me in the first place. In this time, a full time employee quit and so I started to pick up his slack. My boss…

Written in my performance review: “While it is not illegal to discuss pay with other people, such actions do not reflect professionalism, as it is done during paid work hours and has made the other party uncomfortable of the situation” I spoke to 1 person about salary after they were upset about not getting a raise (although she was praised as a hard worker) I spoke to another person NOT about salary but about another opportunity I had and the negative workload of our current company. We were overheard by a supervisor, which was then reported. This coworker was not even spoken to about the conversation. I feel like I am being gaslighted.

Of course its easy to start a business in the USA. You're not required to treat your workers like a human being or pay them a decent wage. It's probably soooo easy to start a business when you can have your workers subsidize your business. But once that changes, will America still be on top? I personally, don't think so.

Long story short… I signed a job agreement for compensation and benefits. These benefits included a 401k match. Yesterday 15 minutes before the end of the day they send out a mass email saying they are cutting 401k matching for the foreseeable future. Fast forward to today talk I talk with HR as I signed a job agreement that states if I leave within one full year of employment I have to pay back my sign on bonus. They said this is still the case. I don’t see why I’m in a legally binding agreement when they can change the terms at anytime…? Fuck corporate America! Edit: missing words..sorry lol still pissed Edit: wording misuse of word contract should be agreement

We have had 3 meetings about people taking too long in the bathroom. And I have found out that they are paying the shipping and receiving guy at my work to watch the cameras and physically watch the clock when someone goes into the bathroom. I guess my question is, is that illegal??

Should be obvious but a lot of you are not deprogrammed yet.
