My employer did not follow my signed w-4 form correctly so now i owe a couple thousand dollars to the IRS and all i got was a sorry. I live paycheck to paycheck scrounging what i can to get by at 11$ an hour living with a roommate and i dont know what to do, i was planning on using this to help pay off my car but i guess im going into debt instead. I have emails from my works payroll admitting they messed up if that helps at all sorry for bothering yall.
My old job was great. I loved the clients I worked with, and most of the staff was awesome. But, I was getting pushed around and merry how many times I stood up for myself, my bosses didn’t listen. My kids school tells me that they have to do distance-learning with a weeks heads up. I told my bosses and even my supervisor about it through text, email, and in person. The first day of distance-learning rolls around and they ask me if I was planning on coming in. I told them no, I have to do school with my kid. And they tell me I should’ve given them a heads up… The day after that, I’m on my way to work when I get into a pretty bad car accident. Car is totaled. I called my boss and tell them about the accident, my hand is shaking, and freaking…

Just Another Day in the USA
I was driving to the gym this am and saw a man crawl out of the bushes at the freeway offramp and stretch out his arms because he was obviously just waking up after having slept there. I drove through a farmer’s market on my way home and saw a man sitting on the curb with all his belongs in a cart and two bags. He had a look of complete defeat and depression on his face, staring at the ground as others walked by and ignored him while drinking $7 coffees. Just another day in the USA. How can I take any joy in any work that I do within a system that treats my fellow countrymen and women with such contempt? Do I give a f$ck about your business that is hoarding enough cash to fund a small country instead of distributing it to the communities that do…
Great article that was posted in another sub, felt appropriate to share here. I especially enjoyed reading about the video game study, where participants were randomly assigned poverty-level resources vs adequate resources. https://psyche.co/ideas/why-we-shouldnt-push-a-positive-mindset-on-those-in-poverty
Job shortage is a hoax.
I work at a bank with multiple locations. We are extremely short staffed and any manager you ask will say the same thing. “Nobody wants to work blah blah blah” I usually just keep my mouth shut so I don’t cause any problems. Until now. I referred a good friend of mine and my girlfriend who are both people that are hard workers with excellent resumes. Both denied saying they would go with another candidate. WE HAVE NO OTHER CANDIDATES. The job pays pretty well almost $17 an hour plus commission. I asked why they were turned down and received no answer. I’m so frustrated because it would’ve looked great on their resumes and they would’ve gotten great pay for our area. I’m just tired of the lies and bending over for people who make my yearly salary in 3 months. Just wanted to vent and get it off my…
I had a cyst on the tip of my tailbone that broke and left a hole in my body to where it was painful to sit. I went to the doctor and it was covered somewhat under normal visits until I had to go to a specialist for the area. Then we were paying 100$ per visit two to three times a month. Then it got worse when we found out it was getting deeper from the MRSA burrowing into my body. I was lucky it was draining naturally but it was too deep to heal up from packing or stitches and everywhere I went had to be disinfected. I couldn't even visit the dentist due to the MRSA. Eventually I did get rid of the infection after it stubbornly came back once more but it was not fun. So here I am with a hole in my body, confidence…
This system is so fucked up
We live in a time where billionaires dont pay taxes…. Like wtf. The people who make SO MUCH money dont have to pay taxes, and meanwhile us the little man have to. Their tax money could do so many well things for our society and world. But no they dont have to, instead the people with fixed or little income have to pay taxes. The people who already have it bad and whoose problems might be solved it the goverment would actually start collecting taxes from the rich and using them in a good way. This world is so fucked up man.
