This is not the future we wanted

The world is a difficult place, so I understand why all of you are complaining all day about what you are “owed”.

But mostly it sounds like a bunch of entitled youth who think they deserve quarterly profit sharing or they should be the boss because you worked somewhere for a year, or you feel your skills are so valuable you deserve instant raises and rewards. If thats what you want be a co tractor and go sell your amazing skills to the world!! If your that good at what you do you will be in high demand. We are at the peak of humanity, people live 50 years longer then we used to, we have it so good as humans compared to living in most other time periods, at least in the last 2500 years. But the internet and instant gratification, and the change in society telling you every one gets a participation ribbon makes us forget that life is tough, and maybe you are not as valuable as a young…

A-ha. Now I get it. It’s our fault for not going back to the office.

The article is about something decidedly different, but this early sentence stood out. https://www.curbed.com/2023/05/san-francisco-doom-loop.html The doom-loopy vision laid out for downtown SF was not pretty: Workers don’t return, offices remain empty, restaurants shutter, transit agencies go bankrupt, tax bases plummet, public services disappear. According to research from the University of Toronto, cell-phone activity in downtown SF is 32 percent of pre-pandemic levels. That number is 75 percent in New York.

Someone posted his job posting on my Facebook feed. It’s not enough for rent even. Over time job. Minimum wage. 5 days off paid a year. What a joke.

What’s my legal course here?

So I get paid every Fridays, I work through a temp agency, and they've recently changed owners/were bought out by another temp agency. That was a few months ago, and while they were changing everything my paycheck was late. It happens, I get it, but I had it that day after talking to my representative. The Friday before last (5/5/23) I wasn't paid the correct amount, because I worked a double the week before that, and my supervisor at the company I'm temping at gave me a day off (super cool dude). So that paycheck was messed up because someone mistook a 2 for a 5 or the other way around (bullshit excuse that I was told when I called my temp agency). Which brings us to this past Friday (5/12/23), I wasn't paid, and when I called them they told me that they were fixing the paycheck, and that…

Manager harassing me

My manager obviously has a romantic interest in me. I’m not attracted to him at all. He’s so creepy – he’s becoming aggressive as he’s not getting his way. It’s driving me crazy. What should I do?

Manager trying to make me feel guilty because I quit?

Today I sent a message to my manager to let her know of my decision to quit my internship, as I had a better opportunity lined up. Their answer was to tell me how sad they were that I made that decision without talking to them first , how they thought I was enjoying the work , and how they always tried to make it know how open they were for me to talk to them , and how they were sad that I sent it in writing and didn’t talked to them. I can understand it came as a surprise , since I didn’t tell anything to anyone , and only decided to let them know when I was certain, and to my knowledge I didn’t do anything wrong. I feel like they took this personally and are kinda trying to guilt me , but I might be reading…

Stop shilling your “””good bosses”””. This is ANTI-WORK. Not pro-bosses.
