The media keeps refering to the Russian invasion of Ukraine as the start of a third world war. Since the U.S. still requires 18-year-old men to register for the draft, what do you think of the chance the draft could be reinstated?
Ok I definitely have some sort of depression and I don’t know if my job makes it worse or it’s all because of my job. They over work us like crazy and even though we are paid somewhat decently, I still think we deserve a lot more for the shit we put up with. I work at a top hospital in California and even the US, in a department that makes the hospital an ungodly amount of money, yet they treat us like shit and the turnover is so high. These last few weeks I almost feel like crying when I’m there. Everyone tells me how pissed off I look, I don’t talk to anyone. This isn’t who I am, I’m fun loving and constantly try to make the people around me laugh but something about this job makes me feel dead inside. I want something new but I’m 28…
Essential positions like Guidance counselors, social workers, special education aids, administrators and other office workers, etc. often get left behind in raises and in calls for them. Make sure you are demanding higher wages for ALL public school employees. (Side note- fight against charter schools and voucher programs!)
I have worked my ass off since I was legally able to work. I've managed, ran the bar, ran the kitchen, every position that can be held, I've held it. I interviewed for an established place in my area and they offered me minimum wage but no tips. Why do places keep thinking this is okay? How are we supposed to survive like this?
