Antiwork

I work at a family owned bar, and a lot of what we do is not run by the books. For example, my coworkers and I work from 7pm – 2 am. Our shift ends at 2 but we work until 2:30 but we don’t get paid for those 30 minutes extra we worked. Also there have been multiple occasions where the tip money we get paid out doesn’t amount to the money we should Be getting and we have our suspicion that our employer is keeping the difference. These are just a few examples that occur in our workplace and a lot more sketchy shit happens often. what can I do or who can I go to so that we and future employees can have a better workplace ? Also to add insult to injury we do not get any breaks, lunch or any kind of benefits whatsoever. thank…

I make just double the US federal minimum wage, but I only work about 20 hours a week at a small business. I'm 23 and recently moved back to live at home with my parents, after having tried and failed to get a degree in engineering. At my work, I asked for more responsibility because I'm one of the people who's worked there the longest, and I know how everything works. I guess I thought I could help new hires with training and wanted to see what (low level) management was like. My boss gave me a $2 an hour raise after I took on some of these responsibilities. However, I've discovered I don't like the responsibility, and I am allowed to schedule myself more time on the clock to do these responsibilities, but I never feel like doing it because I don't have the external motivation of someone else…

Ok so I live in Springfield, Illinois and was wondering if this is good pay for a 16 year old. I got offered a job at a car repair shop bc I can fix cars fast and do it right. Idk if this is the right sub to post this in but yea. Just to be clear I go to school till 3 then go to work till 9pm on weekdays. Weekends are over time with $25 per hour.

I'm ready for “Terminal Capitalism.” Let's end this shit or at least admit it's moved to actively seeking to end us.

That’s what I was told as I was being fired. I raised an eyebrow and just replied “uh huh” then I rang out the last customer, took about half an hour, as they sat waiting for me to get done while being on their cell phone. Then, seemingly, realizing the irony they got up and started dusting a light bulb I kid you not.

On mobile so apologies in advance for poor formatting. I’ve never felt more exploited in my life. The company I’m working for has asked me to take on 2 additional roles over the past 2.5 years. Today I had a meeting to “celebrate” me which resulted in them assigning me additional, more complex work under the guise of building me up for the future. No talk of a shift in compensation or title. Nothing. Not a single fucking penny. I’m really at a loss. I can’t afford to leave but I’m killing myself staying. I’ve tried applying to 100+ roles and I’ve gotten no bites. My current company gave me such a low title comparative to the work I’m doing that every interview ends is question marks about my current skill set. Just a rant. Thanks void and random folks for listening.
