As an example, your healthcare system is always baffling me. I do not know all the details but i always hear story like ” oh yeah i broke my arm and paid 4k”. Or like , when you call day off and your boss are chasing you or being passive agressive trying to make you come either way. Jeez there's even “team cleaning day”. Me when I'm sick or put my holidays, I'm just being told enjoy or I hope you recover swiftly take care, and I have 80% of my salary guaranteed. From what I understood majority of job in USA is sick = no pay Good luck folks, and may you gain the rights to live normal life with a balance between work and recreation.
Can he do this? We're all freaking out and he said if anyone has a problem with it to turn in their two week notice today. We will still get an hourly wage and have to work in the office, but now we are responsible for paying the entirety of our own taxes. He provides no benefits so some of us get health insurance through healthcare.gov and we are under the impression that we will lose our benefits once our statuses change. If anyone can help me calm down I will be very grateful… I don't know whether to be angry, hurt, or disappointed but currently my emotions are all over the place.
Everyone Seriously Deserves Better quality of Life and Pay, Including you the person reading this.
I've never applied somewhere that required me to make a full project to prove my abilities. I have friends that did this, and I've read about others doing this, then they don't get hired but the employer ends up using that project irl. Essentially getting the work done for free on a project they were bound to do anyways. Why aren't interviewees presenting these test projects in way that let's them retain full control? I'm imagining doing said project and then presenting the project via Zoom, or in-person via my personal laptop or with printed copies I collect back. I'm not giving away my time for free.
Edit for details: I work in a major restaurant chain. I’ve been applying coupons on checks that pay in cash that don’t have coupons so I can pocket the extra money. Edit 2: for those who think I’m dumb for admitting this. I could admit this to my manager right now and I would still not face charges, I have seen people steal over 25,000 from this company and only be fired. I will be fine I assure you.

Allowing a Dangerous Boss
I'm honestly just putting this out because i needed a place to vent and be livid. My boss has been horrid. Sliding past the unnecessarily 'urbanized' shit he says when he notices me in view, the yelling he constantly does for little reason other than he wants to, and the crass jokes that go so far as to talk about nearly sexyal acts, he has outdone himself. A few days ago, he came to work late in a drunken stupor. When I say late, I mean he was likely there near midnight, when no one else was there. That's not unusual, the owners have allowed this apparently since he started. In his drunken state, he was saddened/depressed about the failure of his last relationship. To the point of bringing a gun with him to work and, apparently putting something on Facebook that led his ex to be worried about him…
Slow day at the home office, so I figured I'd scroll through /r/antiwork/new and see what folks are talking about. This is the number of posts per general subject: Unfairness / Lack of Meritocracy at Work 19 Job Hunting 12 Unions / Strikes 9 Ranting Against CEOs or Billionaires 6 Remote Work 5 Low Pay 2 Inflation 2 Universal Basic Income / Gov. Benefits 2 Some Boss Says Workers Suck 2 Capitalism Sucks 2 Housing 1 The Education System Sucks 1 As you can see, there's a lot more talk about improving work conditions, finding some work, finding better work, remote work, workers' rights, etc. than about actually not working. So I guess the question I would ask is if you were to slice off the thick crust of off-topic stuff (BTW, Marxists, “From each according to his ability” means if you've got hands you need to work with them)…
Or at least attempt to make the appearance of such
