I think government should not be allowed to print money because they already tax us enough

Diff money Diff roles

So, trying to rationalize something. I’m closing a monster deal at my company. Im not on the sales team, but am BD. We have a different comp plan for some reason. I won’t even put the number down because it’s painful, but if I was in sales, I would be getting a commission that’s 250x what I am going to get. The base salary is different, but not that different. Anyone have a justification for this? This is sail into the sunset money vs pay off my debt money.

Being Screwed Over

Received a job offer over a week ago and I am STILL unable to quit my awful job. I’m salary & make thousands of dollars below the fair market salary for a project manager. I work about 60 hours a week for shit pay & have a ton of responsibilities especially since the company fired all the contract workers in December and they have a hiring & salary freeze. We lost half of our team & the turnaround times have not changed. We’re told to “just get it done” with zero support. The company has been stealing my precious time for going on 3 months now and it’s only gonna get worse. So, like the smart person I am, I started job hunting, hard. Had 5 interviews with a kick-ass company that actually cares about their employees, like we get a month off a year on top of sick and…

White House blaming Inflation on “Putin’s Price Hike” further shows America can’t take responsibility for their own failures and the wellbeing of American Citizens

Inflation was rising even before the Ukraine war. The US led sanctions against Russia for selling oil yet turn around and blame Putin for the rising prices in the US? As if The Kremlin has any control over American prices. The US led the cancellation of Nordstream 2 which is causing Europe to freeze. I’m not justifying Russias invasion of Ukraine, but take accountability for your own actions. The US is a net importer of Gas because the military is the largest consumer of fossil fuels and has over 800 bases around the world. American citizens are then paying the “patriotic” price for inflation to fuel the military and line pockets of corporations. The elites aren’t paying the price of inflation, common people are. https://youtu.be/cYlmKLr74i0 It’s always Russia or Chinas fault, never Americas fault for anything.

Had a medical emergency, think I’m going to get fired. Plz help

To make a long story short: I work in a grocery store. I don’t get along with my manager, she’s been trying to get rid of me. Up till now, upper management had my back and stopped her. I recently injured myself in the gym, and still continued working but wore a sling for 2 weeks (I provided a doctors note.) I just hit 90 days and have never called off until now. I’ve never been late to work and have been told I’m a “good associate”. Today I collapsed at school with chest pain and was rushed to the hospital, doctor said it was due to stress (I work 30 hours a week and am a high school senior). I texted my manager to tell her what happened and said that I have to call off my shift tomorrow. She told me to call the store so I did.…

Do people feel shame when hiring?

Applied for a job because I plan to leave my current one. On $30/hr but only 20hrs. Looking for 40hrs, or a pay raise. Was very clear that I want full time work. Offered $25/hr for 25hrs. Like thats not what I want and I already was clear before you tried to get me to do a trial shift

Suddenly let go. So disillusioned right now

Was told by my company last week that they don't have enough funds to keep me on. The reason? The projects they thought would crop up by now didn't really materialize because the industry is going through the big C related recession. (Logistics/supply chain related engineering industry) They probably knew for a couple of months that this would happen. Had a check in with my manager and she mentioned nothing. I had a sinking feeling when a check in call was suddenly put on my calendar for a Thursday afternoon, and lo and behold, my worst fears came true. How are they going to use the money saved from letting me go? They will use them to hire another person who will do his job PLUS my responsibilities. Ha. Ha ha. Ha freaking ha. They have no idea what my workload is. Upper management is either delusional or lying to…

To Those who complain about Apathy among McDonald’s workers you don’t deserve anything better.

“How apathetic the employees are” “Like robots” another review said. Fuck you. Everyone here is struggling. The manager has two weeks to rear and take care of her newborn infant. The high schooler is ruining his future for the approval of some incipient manager by working 70 hrs a week. I’m struggling with alcoholism. I have no benefits. No way out. No motivation to improve since I see how much they abuse the managers and you want a smile? You’re the fat pigs who order 8 large fries or get mad at me because I have no quarters or nickels and have to spend an extra 15 secs counting out your change when you handed me a 20$ for a $1 Diet Coke. Americans. If you enter a fast food establishment you don’t simply don’t pay enough for good service, or at least our employers don’t. I don’t want to…
