Just sayin’, something to think about…

Before our white brothers arrived to make us civilized men, we didn't have any kind of prison. Because of this, we had no delinquents. Without a prison, there can be no delinquents. We had no locks nor keys and therefore among us there were no thieves. When someone was so poor that he couldn't afford a horse, a tent or a blanket, he would, in that case, receive it all as a gift. We were too uncivilized to give great importance to private property. We didn't know any kind of money and consequently, the value of a human being was not determined by his wealth. We had no written laws laid down, no lawyers, no politicians, therefore we were not able to cheat and swindle one another. We were really in bad shape before the white men arrived and I don't know how to explain how we were able to…

Has anyone else been negatively affected by a significant other refusing to work during these times?

My SO hasn’t worked for a year now (most likely to “take a stand” against unfair wages, workplace environments, etc.) which is understandable given the current situation in the US, but I’m getting so fed up with being the only one working and having to pay for everything while he just sits and does nothing to help us get by financially or help prepare for the future. I don’t know how to tackle this problem. All I know is I’m exhausted, and this behavior has become a huge turn off.

Did you ever have a job that made you jump through a million hoops to get hired?

I once had a place contact everywhere I worked in the last 15 years, verify my college, I had to take a drug test, get a physical exam, and take a “logic test” in an interview before I was hired (for an office job) I ended up leaving after 2 weeks. lol

Boss is harassing and abusing women in the company, but co-workers ignore it because they are poor, immigrants or minorities and he pays more than competitors and gives everyone healthcare.

Basically I started working at this a job as a junior janitor for a small distribution company in our small town, I got the job because my moms friends said it was available and according to her she can get me if I wanted, so I said yes. The company has a reputation of paying well, giving all employees 4 week vacations and PTO's, and giving every employee healthcare this helped a lot during the pandemic, which meant that I a high school dropout was getting paid more than twice per our than my previous job. Before I started mom's friend pretty much told me the boss was a bit weird and a bit touchy and not to get involved in anything that's not in my pay grade and if I see him doing anything go talk to her first. After working there for a week I can say the…

RANT: Last day at shitty job ruined with “Omg I’m so sorry I forgot” as coworker receives plaque. Need help keeping anger at bay

So this past Friday was my last day working at an afterschool program. I've been with this job since 2018 and it's been a mostly miserable ride. What made this job most unpleasant above all was how invisible I felt to my coworkers. I always made a point to be beyond kind, be approachable, and go out of my way to help others with their load when I could without complaint! This was all for nothing though because there was no real effort to get to know me beyond shallow smiles and small talk. Over time this drove me crazy because seeing everyone else so buddy buddy with each other while I watched from the sidelines fucking sucked. Anyway, me and a fellow co-worker have been excited about our last day and it had been announced multiple times that the date was coming up soon. Friday finally comes and our…
