Power move

A reminder that the 40 hour work week is actually 45 hours.

Lunches used to be paid. The elusive 9-5 job. ​ I've never had that. I'm working 9-6 right now. That's 9 hours a day.

Ive been getting corporate jobs and then quitting them after informing each employee what eachother make.

I keep nailing corporate job interviews just to get a couple of paychecks and then I dip out. I always make sure to let the good ones know they are being taken advantage of and I hope that they get more of ehat they deserve. Big corporations are using the worker shortage as an excuse to run skeleton crews to maximize profits simultaneously over working and burning out their best employees. Get fucked, corporate goliaths.

Why isy previous withdran salary so important?

I just want to know that what is with these employees who are asking what my last drawn salary was? Aren't my work enough samples good enough to prove that I am good at what I do and that I deserve to get a better pay? I am just so sad that after working so hard and putting so many hours, I don't deserve a high pay? And I am not allowed to negotiate? Is this always going to be like this!? I am just fed up of this attitude Edit: withdrawn salary

Just got a free day off but….

CEO send out an email “go home, spend time with family.” My manager then says “cut out early, ONLY if you don't have work to do.” Like…cmon man. I was excited to go get my kid out early from school to take her to the park but I'm not going to be able to take the day off like everyone else.

I’m stuck between being right (keeping boundaries) or bowing to work pressure bc of guilt

Hi all, Thanks for hearing me out (reading this). DO NOT share this anywhere in media; My position and what I’m talking about is not fodder for you to use. I’m a casual worker for a company who provides high/critical care for critical clients that can be/live at home. I’m not a nurse, or medically qualified (but I may as well be in these homes/situations specifically) what I am is somebody that wants the best for whom I’m caring for, and I make sure you’re still breathing. Because I’m casual I will receive phone calls at 05:30 to be at work at 07:00 on my ‘apparent’ days off. After a year, I no longer answer these calls, but as recently as this morning I had one. To the situation: This morning I had 3 missed calls with 2 voice messages, and 2 text messages within an hour. We’re short staffed,…

This has to be illegal.

My(40f) boyfriend (46m) goes out of town to work. He fixes and repairs machinery. When upon his hiring he was told Not in writing that he gets a 60$ day per diem when out of town (so many miles from our city justify as out of town. Now here is where it gets sticky) Over the years they played around with his per diem. At first they would cut him a no tax cut check for days he would be out of town, and if he came back a day or two early the money would be taken off next trip out of town. Now he did not have to keep receipts from his spending of per diem. About a year later he was Told (Not in writing) that they would give him a taxable 400$ on his check to do what he pleases at the first of the month,…
