I’m starting to think that some of these employment ads are auditioning for r/antiwork! Sharp workaholic?

Some litigation experience required; Spanish bilingual a plus. Starting rate $16.00-40.00 per hour plus discretionary bonus OR negotiable depending on legal experience. Available 4-6 days per week; 30-45 hours a week. Law firm is small and growing and anticipates that responsibilities and pay will increase. Will consider a 1-6 month working interview and assessment with the right candidate. Looking for a self-sufficient hard worker looking to grow with the office. Free parking. If you are a sharp workaholic, have the ability to multitask while thriving under pressure, but lack the legal experience, go ahead and apply and tell me why I should hire you.

Boss fired me after I came back from covid. I just finished training and they had me on training for a month.

Training It's normally a week but they kept me on for a month so they could not pay me in my opinion. I work for a large, supposedly upscale Mexican restaurant here. Those motherfuckers man, made me work like a slave for peanuts and then when I came back from covid I walked in the door for my shift and they had somebody else standing behind the bar.🥺🤯 They couldn't even call me and tell me. I called every other day to keep in contact with them and let them know my situation and the whole time they said everything was fine.. So a little patch of semi passive aggressiveness on my behalf. Went in there because they were withholding my final nights tips saying they already paid me So since I had to drive 45 min round trip after argueing for a whole month when I NEEDED that money…

Found my Boss Sleeping with my Wife

Disclaimer: I'm pretty angry right now, but I'll try to put down as much as I can here. This is an update to this (https://www.reddit.com/r/antiwork/comments/syaktd/cheap_boss_wont_buy_toilet_paper/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share) post. I followed my boss during one of his midday breaks. He hopped in his car and drove out east, and I followed him in my own car, far enough away that he wouldn't see. Eventually, I lost him so I decided to go home and get some toilet paper for the office. However, when I got there, I noticed my wife's car in the driveway. Worse, I saw my boss's car there too. I went inside, and heard giggling coming from our bedroom. I ran in and there was my boss, on top of my wife. I guess I should have seen the signs, he always smelled like her perfume when he got to work, my wife and I stopped being intimate, and all…

California Wage Claim

I quit a(n awful) job and they took a little over two weeks to pay me my final check. This was a little over two years ago and I just got a notice in the mail that I finally have a hearing and might be getting my wages back. First, this system is broken. It's outrageous that it takes this long (two years in September) to get wages out of an employer who refuses to pay, but second, has anyone been through this process? What should I expect? Is there anything I should prepare? FWIW, it's pretty cut and dry; they owed me wages, didn't pay, apologized for not paying, took their time paying, and then finally paid me, and then apologized for having taken so long. Thanks for your help.

Promotion without financial compensation?

Opinion(s) on taking a leadership/supervisory position without immediate increase in salary. I was presented with a lead title aka more duties, delegating, LEADING, etc but was told there won’t be a salary raise until I’m evaluated at the end of the ninety day period, assuming I take it. Told management I would get back to them. My last job offered me the same position with an immediate salary increase, without there even being a need for me to ask for such. My managers are shady to begin with, and I feel like this is one of there stunts they’re pulling. I don’t think I need to prove myself for a position and if I do, why is it being offered to me? Or am I overthinking it? Edit: How does one professionally, yet assertively refuse a position unless they pay? It’s not that I’m ungrateful it’s just…you know..I give more/do…

Two simple question you could ask….

Everyone has seen the job postings that don't list a $ amount just a “….. competitive salary” Here are two simple questions to ask the recruiter…. Your salaries are competitive; so what (in $) are you competitors paying for a comparable position? How many $ over under what your competitors are paying would you consider to be a competitive salary.
