Ah Corporate, I can see your shenanigans a mile away.

Alright, here's some context for you. I work for . A few years ago, when the pandemic started, we closed the doors on our operations center out here on the west coast with the express understanding that it was going to be temporary, and we'd all be back in a few months. Needless to say, that time came and went, and eventually HQ gives us notice that we'll be rolling out a work-at-home program in the wake of the restrictions and requirements of our states in regards to viral health. Thanks WHO. So, we finally get our shit, go home and set up. That was two years ago. A week ago, I got an email from on high, long and short of it was “hey, did your boss talk to you about this list we have of people? Y'all have slow internet, and it's mucking up the business, and the…

Let’s create a list of progressive YouTube channels with similar values.

Many people here are probably already aware of these YT channels, but I thought that I would share them as they share many of the values I see expressed here, and go into much greater detail than we can see in posts. If others know similar YT channels, I would love to see those added in order to help us create a list.

My old boss once refused to give me a band aid

His reason ? “He didn't want to have to write an injury report for such a minor cut ” FUCK THAT, I knew I was fine I just wanted to make sure it would not get infected since I was on trash duty

They were hoping I’d take the lower option, when I say no, all of a sudden they have a new rate which is still not worth doing that job for. People can barely live on that wage in the city I live in.

While I know we all wish we didn’t have to work, what we should be doing is starting a movement that pushes employers to give us a 4 day, 32 hour work week. The 40 hour work week was established in 1926, Its time for change!

How come I have to submit my meal penalties when my old restaurant did it for me?

So I work for a retail store and I forgot to take my lunches before the 5 hour mark. I just learned how to submit meal penalty sheets and I guess I didn't get them for a couple of my old paystubs. I was told it's too late to submit for the old paystubs but I just wanted to know if I should be aware of anything else while working? From now on forward I'm checking all my hours are correct before the week ends and before I clock out now lol

Is this supposed to be normal?

I work for an outsourcing company. The first company I was sent to, I was promoted to a management position. That company went through a seriously terrible PR mess and then had to go through massive downsizing. I was taken out of my management position with no notice (demoted to what I was promoted from) then sent to a different company. At the new company I do not have the same management position so now on my resume it looks like I was demoted out of something I did. They took my position away right before it hit the six month part too. Not to mention my promotion only garnered me $14 an hour while my friend who washes dishes makes $17…
