What can i do to help? I want to steal corporate bought office supplies for the cause.

I (38M) am a Wind Turbine Technician in the Midwest. I'm not going to say more than that, wind is a pretty tight nit community. 9 years ago i was waiting tables and hosting, rainforest café and salt grass steakhouse. man, that will make you hate people with a passion. Then I realized already being halfway crazy but smart enough to know it makes me perfect for the job. there are many quick certification classes in many states, i found one that was only 8 weeks long. After 1 week of job applications i had 3 interviews. Many fears collide at 300 feet while your in the tower its kind of like being in a boat you don't think about where you are until you stick your head out and look around. not only do you have to be not afraid of heights but also not afraid of electricity but…

In my country, medical expenses are discounted from annual tax payments.

Hi, so, i am from Venezuela, and started to work at a mixed state-private owned company since November last year. I was given a Tax disclosure by the company, where tells my salary from the last 2 months of the year. I needed to declare it to the tax collecting institution (Seniat), but, some workers came to the company place and started to take it from the workers, so good luck for me.

Landlording for free?

Been thinking about ways one could provide housing without becoming a leechy landlord.

I’m in the midst of a perplexing encounter…can you help me, Reddit?

I'm currently finishing up the final semester of my undergraduate degree, and I'm planning on doing my serious job-hunting after I've finished up my semester. Last week I received a cold-call email (from someone who I would later find out is an HR manager) asking if I'd be interested in working as a Finance Associate at a domestic company. I emailed back and asked for more details, which the manager provided me, as well as a link to a formal application form (which had not existed on the website before – I checked their website out as soon as they emailed me the first time and there were no job listings or details about a Finance Associate). I have no experience whatsoever in finance work and there's nothing on my résumé to indicate that I have experience in finance. Once of the fields in the application form was to indicate…

So every once in awhile when I’m feeling some type of way I pull up craigslist or indeed and harass companies that offer shit wages and shit jobs with nasty emails. that is all..

If everyone chipped in and did their part we could make these companies that think it's ok to fuck employees take a longer look at what ridiculous shit they are asking for in return for poverty wages and ridiculous demands.
