Antiwork

I was just over reading a thread in /r/teachinguk and teachers saying coloured hair and piercings are unprofessional. I have neither so no skin in the game but thought it completely ridiculous and absurd that teachers would think this. In the UK teaching is a micro managed, overworked shitshow so I'm not surprised and the dress code is suited and booted. However I can't wrap my head around why “colour” and individuality is “unprofessional”. The word is really misused, you can have a suited and booted asshole teacher who bullies other teachers and is barely competent but that's ok because they look WASP but another teacher who works hard and is an all round decent person isn't because they have a nose ring or green hair. Complete bullshit.

I am a recent college graduate looking for remote sales jobs long term but don’t have much sales experience. In the meantime I have been working as a babysitter. This is because I get paid slightly more than other jobs. However, even if i worked 40 hours without time off I would still fall below the poverty line. I am in an unhealthy living situation so it’s important that I try to save up money even if it isn’t much. The new babysitting job I interviewed with wants me to sign a contract with a 1 month notice period if i quit but doesn’t state any penalties on paper (i live in an at will state). The reality is I’m not going to find another job that pays this much unless it’s another babysitting job and it’s very easy to get your time wasted in interviews. My question is, will…

$15 an hour here is unskilled labor poverty wage. PRIVE YOUR WORTH, PEASANT

I posted this in the advice subreddit but I feel like I could get some good insight here. If this isn't allowed I'm sorry. My (29F) job isn't great, it's a food service job. It's average as far as the work goes. Understaffed, the whole shabang. I left my old job for this one over a year ago (on good terms, but the job had a lot of issues with higher ups that came to a head recently. I definitely needed to get out when I did.) I was working both jobs at the time and my current boss offered me the wage I was basically making between the two if I just worked for him full time. Sick. The job has a lot of practices that are shady, but I need that money right? The boss takes care of us a lot though. I have to overlook a lot…

I’m sorry but I have 8 years of industry experience at a higher position than my would be boss, 2 Bachelor Degrees and a masters…. Their compensation package: 40-45k. I’m sorry did I fucking miss something? I just don’t get how organizations can be this blind and ignorant to finding a candidate that has the appropriate experience for the given position that’s open. In my opinion I am extremely over qualified for this fucking role. I didn’t even apply for that role… I applied for a higher position in the company only to be told I’d be a better fit at this lower level job…. Job hunting is the fucking worst.

Hello! I am here for advice. I want to file a suit of harassment and retaliation against my employer. I have a strong paper trail and witnesses. My boss’s boss is also aware but has done nothing. Should I sue both the company and my employer? I’m so done being bullied. Has anyone been successful in doing this? What did it take?
