Who’s your daddy

I am a general manager of a small business, and I give raises without the owners permission, even though he wants final say. Fuck capitalism.

Title. The owner has 4 establishments that he owns, bringing in around 150-200k net profit to him each year. His employees all make between $10/hr and $11/hr. He had employees who had worked for him for 2 years without a raise. So I took it upon myself to increase his labor bill by 15% and give out five raises without his permission, knowing that he would never okay any of them. He can handle it. Fuck toxic owners who make their money off the backs of indentured servitude. He will probably fire me once he finds out, and I could not give any less of a fuck. I hope he does, I’ll whistleblow all of his toxic practices to everyone on the industry.

rant: Under Minimum Wage, AND They’re Covering their Asses

I work out at a very popular studio workout chain, and they’ve recently had a changing of hands. In my city, minimum wage jumped up 30 cents in the new year, yet somehow, we were still getting paid the 2021 minimum. After i reached out to new management, they tried to say ‘Well, city law states small businesses (due to franchise BS) can pay less than minimum as long as they’re paying X amount in medical benefits.’ Benefits that no part-time employee (which most of us are), are eligible for. Upon being pushed to explain what benefits I’m getting, they peddle back and say ‘well, with commission you make minimum but going forward we’re going to pay everyone the standard minimum just to make it easy’. I didn’t make anything in commission this month. I’m calling the labor board. The backpay they owe isn’t even any money, but the fact…

Ghosted By Potential Employer [RANT]

I just need to rant… I was in the running for a specific job and was very excited about it. Did 4 interviews over the span of a few weeks and I got along great with everyone. No word from them for a week, and then they email me to update that they're “extremely interested” in me for this role and will be sending next steps soon. Weeks go by, I send a follow up asking about the status…nothing. Another week and a half goes by and I send a final email asking if the role was still open (Knowing I probably wouldn't get a response). THEN FUCKING TODAY I see they reposted the job listing on linkedin. I am more than pissed, I spend weeks waiting and hours interviewing with this company and they can't even give me the courtesy to respond to my emails/let me know I didn't…

Question: Should we all start sharing salaries on our LinkedIn Feed

Seeing how much your connections make could be one way to push forward pay transparency. Of course, Twitter is another way….. https://preview.redd.it/nf3efbk8lgg81.jpg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=65a199266f3129878ccadd1c3196030bd67c7ce5

This message needs to be heard by the whole working class. We have the numbers, we have the power if we rise up. Time to unionize.

School just teaches you to be a worker. Not to be independent and free. I learned more in life from games then school itself.
