Antiwork

I found out my job hasn’t been paying me the correct wage for over a year now. What can/should I do about this?

So I currently work in the IT/Helpdesk space. For all intents and purposes I love the job, it pays pretty well but not great and I know that I can make more money and get better benefits at another company or startup as I have well over 15 years in IT experience. But my problem is that though the money and over compensation is a improvement no doubt, I LOVE the people I work with. Specifically the guys in the IT team! We all get along great, hang out after hours, have an outstanding chemistry but I’ve lately felt disillusioned with the job itself. Has anyone left a gig that they thoroughly enjoyed all due to the money?? What was your experience like? How did you come to making your decision and what were some things that helped either leaving or staying? I’ve recently been in touch with an old…

I'm working 10-hour shifts late at night from 1-11. I struggle to get to work without a car and I'm starting to lose my social life trying to get enough sleep for another workday, with no 30 min breaks it's putting an enormous amount of physical and mental stress I'm not ready for, causing me to vomit on my second day and calling sick on my third day. I want to quit immediately but it would make my at-work referrals look bad, and I don't have any other job lined up at the moment. What advice can a bunch of internet strangers give me? What can/should I do?

I’m laying awake dreading morning. I work at a public high school in the special ed department. Every day I get punched and scratched and bit and pinched. I come home with marks all over my body. I have made the principal aware of what’s going on but there’s not much to be done. I’m late every day because it’s hard to get out of bed, and I get a talking to for it. Could anyone blame me, I get less than 1000 bucks a month getting traumatized for a living. Been applying for new jobs but never get answers. Isnt there some sort of law about this? I’ve filed 3 injury reports in as many weeks for my bruises but nothing has come of it. I am at zero dollars with zero patience. If anyone has insight on what I could do, it would be appreciated.

this has irked me throughout my entire time in retail employment. you’ll have done everything you’ve needed too, the shop will be empty and you just want to stand there waiting for something or a customer. then the manager will get angry that you’re standing doing nothing and would rather you found pointless jobs like brushing the floor 7 times or fixing things on the shelves. what’s wrong with just standing about? there’s nothing to do! why must i always be trying to find silly tasks just so i look better to management, or the customers? i don’t know if it’s a pet peeve or what. but it really irks me to my core. leave me BE! i get paid MINIMUM WAGE and the planet is dying and we are on verge of nuclear war. let me stand staring into space for 5 minutes damn. i got shit to think…

a few years ago my father started driving for an app called Uber. im sure everyone knows what that is so ill leave that there. my father is a hard working and caring man that im proud to call my dad, he owned his own company before he lost everything after he drained his bank account to pay for his workers medical bills after he fell off a roof. with no other job opportunities, he started driving for Uber, it's not that he was underqualified for a better job, he was just not white. as he started working for Uber i noticed a visible change in my dad and the way he acted. he became irritable, angry, depressed. he was getting paid in literal pennies for working a 20 hour work day. he would leave at 5 am and not return until midnight or 1 in the morning. he was…
