Plenty of employers have wanted to hire me. They just couldn’t take the time to discern how to make the work happen equitably.

Being hired and having a desk is one thing. Knowing that one will be able to do their job in a reasonable and rational manner is another thing.

Was arguing about why Elon is shitty due to his worker treatment, this guy was butthurt arguing without responding to any of my points for two days… Turns out because he is also a shitty business owning bootlicker who is okay with his employees being sexually harassed. Disgusted

Is inflation real or is it a hoax caused by the greed of corporations continually increasing prices?

I am just a concerned citizen is all. Not a conspiracy theorist. I just need to know which is the truth.

Check out GlassDoor – Reviews by workers, for workers.

https://www.glassdoor.com/index.htm Basically the title, feel free to look up your workplace or ones you're interested in, and it'd be great to get more honest reviews. I’m not affiliated at all just think that crowdsourcing knowledge is an invaluable tool. Organize! Unionize! Stand up for your Rights! Update: Learning from the comments that this site works with employers, allowing them to delete negative reviews. Leaving this up so others can see this information. Let us grow towards a world where the capitalist class does not own and control every facet of society. Solidarity.

Three days to accept an offer?

Hi all, This sub has recently inspired me to take my experience out into the market and see if I can get a higher paying wage with a different company. Well, good news! It worked. I got a good offer with a 30% increase in my salary, but I am still evaluating different options and still interviewing. This might be a terrible analogy but I don't want to go to the dance with the first boy that asks me out. I want to find the right one. This offer is good but I think I have better options out there, and quite frankly I want to give my current employer an opportunity to respond with a counter offer, or I just want to wait to see how they'll respond out of curiosity. The offering company has given me 3 days to respond. I said, I need more time, and they…

When I was younger, I thought employers are smart people who would do anything to maximize their profit.

But with how things have been, I realized that a lot of then prefer to stick to their shitty backward values than to adapt to the market. When I was younger, I didn't really buy the pay gap thing because I didn't understand how it would benifit an employer to pay male emplyees higher. No I see. My old employer refused to give raises to anyone even thought half of the staff has left and everything was going to hell, it was not sustainable. She was a nice lady, but a typical boomer, who though her employees didn't deserve more. Here is my to cents on the situation.

Good Riddance

Of course I really don’t like conflict so I felt pretty sick after all this, but I woke up refreshed and satisfied and ready to tell this story. So, I started a job a week ago, my first job and it was in administration. I handled emails, invoices, quotes, payment, data inputting, phone calls etc, and frankly it was an overwhelming thing to be thrust into in the first place, however the next few things were the cherry on the cake. Apparently the condition of employment was to take out an ABN; something reserved for contractors and businesses which would mark me as my own seperate business. This would mean that my work place wouldn’t have to pay me superannuation, I’d only get two weeks holiday instead of four weeks, only five sick days instead of seven, and I’d take on all the taxation. Not only that, but I was…

4+ months without pay from Walmart

I'm a minor from Canada and quit my job at Walmart in October. I still haven't received my final paycheque (which is $1,000+). I call every single week and ask where my paycheque is, they say they are “opening an investigation” whatever that even means anymore. This is clearly extremely illegal but I have no idea what to do anymore. I have talked to HR, multiple managers, they always tell me the same thing, that they are opening an investigation on where my cheque is, but I never hear back from them and the “investigation” never goes anywhere. Does anybody know somebody in corporate I should call? I would hate to have a huge corporation like Walmart take advantage of my labor like that. I really need this money too. Is there anything in specific I should tell Walmart next time I call? Does anybody know labor laws related to…
