Antiwork

This is my first time posting, sorry if it's too long and for any grammatical errors! I recently accepted a part-time job offer for $18 an hour. As a college student I feel like this is a great deal! Like with any job I have to take a drug test, which is no big deal just another thing I have to do. The place where I have to go take said test is the most dingiest shady clinic in town. No problem though, I do my thing and go on my way. That was about almost two weeks ago, I receive a phone call at school today from the HR department from the company and they told me my drug test came back positive for opioid and that it was 4 times the amount that it should be for a regular person. They proceeded to tell me that because of…

Keep the conversation going and keep being vocal. Support unions and fight for workers’ rights. My current company is raising salaries, looking to introduce more flexible hours, and changing hiring practices to post salaries and provide more clarity during the hiring process. Corporations are starting to feel pressure now that potential employees have the power. Some of the things that have been most impactful have been asking early in the interview process about the salary and declining if not within an acceptable range. Also, tell companies why you won’t accept the job. Use their greed against them. Please keep demanding more!

That’s it. That’s the post.

A name, phone number, and relationship to the person is enough. I do not know where my prior coworkers or bosses live, nor should you as the employer care.

So my idea is let’s market Capitalism real for each individual in the ice cream shop not just the owner. The whole store will have designated pools for money. Expenses paid first then % for expansion % for owner % for workers % for research The whole idea is to split things up in a % model. Everything is based on the sale of the ice cream! % is paid out to everyone in a transparent way on the blockchain or something.

One (of few) things I have become really good at is finding computer science jobs. CS is not for everyone and I know big tech is dystopian in its own way but these hourly jobs are killing you all and this is all I know. You are treated so shitty for so little thanks and such unfair compensation. We will keep fighting to be treated and paid fairly, but in the meantime, pivoting to computer science or a desk job may help some of you. For the others, just disregard. I know many can't afford college (or have already gone), but there may be a path even without it. Do you like puzzles? Decent at algebra? Do you like web stuff and visuals? CS may be for you and isn't as hard as you might think. You can pick it up in your spare time, and it is actually fun.…

Ok so I am 17 turning 18 and have worked in my job for just under one year. I recently applied for and received a promotion our HR department is supposed to process it next week. However one of my managers told me today that I need a drivers license which I do not have. I mentioned that the application asks if you have a License and I said no and he said HR might still turn it down despite that I was already offered the job. Is that legal? Do I have any options?
