under the table jobs

Recently I accepted a job, but after the fact, they mentioned to me that management takes all online credit card tips and that it’s entirely under the table. I have worked jobs where management takes tips, and I left those jobs because I never felt it was right. After all, the tips were and are intended for the people serving. I also don’t like the idea of having no record of this job or the money I’m making through it. Should i quit? i’m considering staying a while just because i really need the money and would leave during the summer.

Is it common for a business to tell you that a 4-week notice is required to be in good standing when you decide to quit? I’ve never heard of this and just lost them as a reference after spending 3.5 years with them.

People accept unacceptable commutes

So, I was just downvoted and got an eye roll on another sub for saying that a 6-hour round-trip daily commute is not OK. Speechless.

You don’t have to answer these questions in a job interview

I’ve been seeing this a lot about people being tricked into answering questions in a job interview. It’s your right not to answer them. You can deflect, call out the interviewer, or walk away — that’s if you’re bold enough. Article provides tactics for doing so. Don’t let your desire to be liked get the best of you. It’ll only hurt you. How do you respond to or avoid these question? Please provide in comments

Hard work isn’t rewarded. Especially if you work for a big corporation.

Put in minimal effort. The more you do, even if you’re pushing yourself, they will continue to pile on to your workload without giving you anything extra. This has happened to me several times. People leave, so you pick up the slack, and they see you can do it. Even if it’s at the expense of your mental health. They stop replacing people and just have you do more. People always say “if I died my employer would have me replaced by tomorrow” I always say if I died they’d just divide up my workload and eliminate the position

TurboTax is FREE … unless you’ve been unemployed, then you have to pay $120

It really boils my blood when a brand tricks consumers into thinking their product or service will be free, only to pivot last minute with hidden fees. TurboTax is a major offender in this regard. Despite all of their promises of “Free”, you actually have to pay if you spent any time unemployed. Like – folks who have been receiving unemployment probably don't have a spare $120 to spend on TT. It is cool to try and make a dime, but tricking vulnerable people who need “Free” services to survive and then applying hidden fees. That just sucks. #notreallyfree https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVtprE9dlRY

Stupid decisions cost more money

I used to work for a provider staffing company and was in an insane hospital system. Last February they decided to fire all the nurses at the satellite locations, (urgent cares, etc.) They gave them a week's notice. The reasoning was that they were not making enough money. Little did they know they were going to lose a lot more money. The nursing documentation helped to determine insurance reimbursement. As a provider, we do not have access to that charting. They were literally able to charge less than half for the same services because not enough charting points were able to be used. Then surprise of all surprises, the numbers shot through the roof, and administration was angry that wait times were on average 3 hours. The CEO refused to hire more staff to make this a non-issue. Who would have thought that we needed staff during the middle of…
