I used to work red lobster. barely pay rent. Now I got a entry level office job, and suddenly my rent went up, gas, food, and its like I’m still working minimum wage???

After my own personal experiences and the shared experiences of many of our fellow workers in this sub I propose a strategic and targeted boycott of all Lowe's stores.

Since most of you guys may be Americans, this thread may not apply to you, however I want to share my personal experience after I left my job and started to work the German state. My last boss wasn't a dick as most of your bosses are, but I hated the job nontheless. Shitty work and shitty pay. I quit and was unemployed for quite a while. Months later I applied for a job at a German state administration – basically I'm one of the guys who decides whether a refugee is allowed to stay in the country or not. It's emotionally quite demanding to listen to all of their stories, but on the plus side there are big benefits: – great pay (compared to working hours, etc) – 39h a week, meaning 7:48h a day + 30 min break you have to take – 30 days of (payed) vacation,…

So I work(Ed) at a non chain but Mildly fancy steak house. All used to be grand I used to get dinning room and lounge shifts then the gm left and before I knew it I was always in the lounge which you’ll make like half the money.

It’s been now about 6 months all of my friends are moving on to better things except a small few remaining and I just got hired today at a chain seafood restaurant I couldn’t be happier to leave that toxic ass place behind but yet because of how easy going it is there I feel it’s hard to let it…

I've never been in a union job so I'm at a total loss
