Antiwork

Long story short. I’ve been at this job for 2 months. Around my first month ending they fired the other girl I was working with. Before they had fired her I was having to go in & fix all of her mistakes. They would come & get after her pretty much every morning as soon as we clocked in. They just kept telling me I’m doing a wonderful job they never had someone catch on so fast. When they fired her it was around the 2nd day after they started coming telling me all throughout the day I’m doing things wrong. Which was weird because that was the way my manager told me to do the tasks. Remind you I had no training just going off of random things I was told & what I knew from my previous work history. They would tell me to it a different way…

I've been with my current job for close to 5 years now. I recently applied for a job with a 2 hour commute. They are willing to pay 25.50/hour. My current job is only 15 mins from my current place. Currently making around 17ish/hour. I've never been in this position before so wondering what is the best way to proceed.

Just found out that my last job is having such bad retention problems that they've taken to having the floor level employees post job openings on social media. Turns out that underpaying your workers, running your best employees ragged, and nepotism all lead to high turnover. Also the SEC has two fraud investigations open for them. Also they've been reported by multiple former employees for labor law violations at both the state and federal level. Also they're being audited by OSHA.

I accepted a job 2 weeks ago and I was blatantly lied to, they lied about the job description, working hours (the working hours ended up being from 5:30 AM to 7:30 PM is this even legal?????), listed a job as remote and of course, I now have to go to the office 5 days a week, How bad will I look?

I work at a marijuana dispensary and the owner/management gives its employees about $2 of in store credit for every hour that we work. This credit is added to my income for tax purposes but Im only allowed to use it at the store (obviously). My issue is that the owner uses this as a justification to render his employees exempt from any in-store discounts that get offered to customers. Which means not only does my income get taxed as if I was making more than ai am, but if I want to buy something at the same store I work at, I end up paying more than the average customer. It really bothers me but I feel like every time I try to bring up that its unfair that I pay more than a regular customer, they just throw my credit in my face saying that should be enough.

I got my bachelor's degree in Horticulture in 2016. In school, I figured that one day food would become so expensive due to climate change, that I would be able to grow in a greenhouse on my lawn at a price competitive with Big Ag. I went to work at shitty job after shitty job. Yelled at daily, minimum wage, long shifts and no benefits. Food so expensive and pay so low that I couldn't afford fresh veggies every day, I only made about 5 tomatoes an hour at the current rate. But, I achieved my goal of gaining skills and knowledge to go into business for myself, and that's what I did. I am the only employee. I grow it, sell it, and own it. I automate everything I can and keep the prices as low as possible. I do 50% off for EBT users at the farmer's markets.…

I work at a nonprofit doing government affairs support work (non-lobbying) and I generally actually enjoy my job. Only thing is that I make like, $55k in DC. Somehow I manage to squeeze by living comfortably and have some savings but it feels like everything could fall apart so easily. Sometimes I fantasize about working in a higher paying job outside of the nonprofit sector but it's so hard to believe that this is possible – and I have only ever done nonprofit work (by nonprofit I mean 501c3/501c4 groups – not really 'charities' or community work, if that makes sense). Somehow I don't have credit card debt and I've been able to have some vacations and live alone. I live comfortably but god I wish I could just be a little more financially secure. Nonprofit work is its own beast and is far far far from morally pure in…
