Third shift in and was told by the owner “good luck with you then” and to clock out after questioning why servers don’t tip bar out (at a spot that makes 75% revenue on alcohol and 25% on food). Sent this to the other owner and received this in response.

I interviewed for a job and was told to expect a callback in a week. They ghosted me for a month and now want to do a follow up. How can I creatively tell them to screw off?

Any ideas?

Pretext: Working at Walmart and just want to get some school work done and have some time off for a couple weeks. Working 4 days a week with school is just tiring and needing am needing a break. Already have the money saved up for any bills so don’t need the extra cash. Ps: didn’t know where to post this because I posted something in the Walmart subreddit about trying to get paid off days and everyone was shitting on me saying I was a horrible person

I’m not suicidal, but can someone please explain why suicide isn’t a better option than being poor in the US?

POV: you’re poor. You live in a dark bedroom surrounded by roommates you hate. You have no significant other and are lonely. You spend your life going to a job you hate. You have a few hours to yourself at the end of the day that you use to try and distract yourself from how miserable you. Rinse and repeat. It’s been like this for years. Things won’t be getting better, at least not in the next decade.

Inflation is a fucking myth perpetuated by the rich to ciphon the poor for all they got. Gas prices are always the first to skyrocket in times of war, and then the food prices follow. Then the rest. But our jobs? Still minimum fucking wage. If there's war in the world, I say it threatens the safety of all, and therefore, we should demand hazard pay. ESPECIALLY WITH NUCLEAR WAR AROUND THE CORNER. Fuck Putin, and Fuck the 1%. 🇺🇸🇺🇦

I can’t think of a better source of guidance on how to treat employees. Every day is a wealth of case studies on what not to do. But if the constant stream of stories about wage theft, harassment, abuse, disrespect and exploitation don’t make your skin crawl, you shouldn’t be a people manager.
