Antiwork

I work in the health sector. I’ve been needing more experience in the area I want to work in so I asked around in local hospitals to volunteer. One of the managers said he passed on my info to one particular hospital that’s been understaffed. They contacted me, offered a casual job in an area I have 2 years experience. Sounded like a good deal. I plan to do the volunteer hours on the days off. But every step of the way they’ve thrown more paper work and hoops. They had me sign up with a work agency which I’ve never had to do in the past. I had to sign three different police check forms and had me re do the same work fitness document four times over. Now they are checking my references which is taking some time. They’ve called me twice asking for more to look up…

Awhile back I got into with someone on here, about earning more money, ' 'You want more money then earn it.' Then in the next reply.' 'Doing extra and long hours don't entitle you to more money.' This has been eating away at me because it seems to be true as I'm stuck in a position that they refuse to raise the wage for. How in the free world are suppose to make any kind of money, if working hard can't even get you a slight promotion? It exhausting.

At my job, We have two positions. One position is a lower/basic position which gets the basic jobs that come in. The higher/advanced position (my position) gets the advanced jobs (we can do basics but most of the time we don't, they are given to the lower position) I recently found out a lower/basic person, whose only worked there for a year, was making just a few dollars less than me. SHOULD OR SHOULD I NOT BRING THIS UP? I have some people saying no, it makes you seem like your entitled and others say yes you should because thats how you feel and its a valid point if i'm in the higher up position. Also Should I focus the discussion on how i've grown since my employment, what about the extra work I do compared to everyone else? (in my case yes, i do extra work than others when…

I've read all the latest posts of this sub. What I understood from all this is that the USA isn't the land of dreams anymore. Most young Americans live paycheck by paycheck and struggle to survive and feel so exhausted and tired, working so hard for nothing. Workers rights in general seem to be much worse than most countries of Europe and most bosses do whatever they want. Inflation is unaffordable and there's no free healthcare or higher education. How do you stand all this ? What's your plans for the future?

Before anything, long time lurker & first time poster. Also obligatory on mobile, so apologies for formatting. Will do my best. Apologies as well for length, looking for advice I think? And if this type of post is t allowed, just point me where to go. Brief backstory: Worked for a national plumbing company, and was laid off a week before Thanksgiving. Couldn’t find a job, until roughly April. So I’m currently in a bit of a pickle, and I think it’s really starting to get to me. After getting laid off back in November, I struggled to find a job for literal months and it was ridiculous. I ended up landing a job with a company that does hot tub repairs, dishing out a measly 40k/yr salary (I live in SoCal) and was being ran ragged for it. Driving anywhere from 5 miles, upwards of 600 miles a day…

A coworker today answered the phone but told the person she could barely hear them. Next thing, she's yelling into the phone “I can hear you, you don't have to yell at me! Well you yelled at me first!” No matter how rude or loud a customer gets with me, I try to stay calm and collective or just get a manager….
