I work a part time job where I found out through one of my coworkers that a new hire was getting paid more than me. I did not bring up this topic, this coworker simply told me about the conversation they had with the new hire. I was honestly really pissed off and I’ve been having issues with this new coworker anyway. I asked my boss to match my pay to the new hire’s. My supervisor is not in charge of things like salary so he had to go up to upper management. A couple days later I was informed that it was against company policy to discuss salary at work and that I could get written up for it (my boss is simply the messenger, he did not know about this policy). The craziest thing is that I am getting a raise, though not as much as the new…
German article: https://www.spiegel.de/wirtschaft/gewerkschaft-klagt-ueber-arbeitsbedingungen-bei-tesla-a-c5c27aff-eec1-4a32-a865-0c5904809900 Translation: Union complains about working conditions at Tesla Cold factory floors, stress and strange silence clauses: IG Metall (germanys biggest union) is making serious accusations against the German Tesla plant. A job advertisement is also causing irritation. IG Metall is concerned about working conditions at Tesla in Grünheide. Employees told the union of displeasure about burdensome shift systems, frequent overtime on weekends, a very high workload overall and too few staff, said Irene Schulz, IG Metall's district manager for Berlin, Brandenburg and Saxony. According to the report, employees also said it was sometimes too hot in the production halls in summer and too cold in winter. All in all, the company was not doing enough to improve working conditions and offered too little space for leisure and recreation. “In our observation, there is also a lack of a management culture that promotes open debate in the company…

Quitting in the morning
Tomorrow when I get into work I'm going to send a couple people messages about how much I've appreciated them and then I am sending my manager my resignation effective immediately. Thanks for the .14 cent raise. New job lined up 5 minutes from home and a 10% pay increase. Dont tell your employees about record profits for a multi billion dollar company and give insulting raises.
I live in a country where it snows and not just a little bit. It's going to snow over 25 cm or snow or close to a solid 10 inches for the Americans here. That's all going to happen in the course of about 3 hours during which I am expected to commute at the risk of my life… unpaid, of course. Every year, I suffer extreme commute anxiety that last year culminated into a very real life threatening accident where I lost my vehicle when I lost control of it and some 10 minutes later another vehicle also lost control and ran into mine. I'm trying to call for a motivated absence tonight, and the freaking supervisors are not even answering the phones (I want to swear a blue streak). I can't even ask if my absence may be motivated, but if I were to take a day off,…
Economy, Morality and Libertarianism III The country increases the amount of its money with reason and fairness in mind by taking on debt when the tax revenue isn’t enough? National debt works, which proves that it was possible to increase the amount of money in the national economy beneficially? Without taking on debt important work might have gone undone? And the currency hasn’t lost all of its value? When the amount of money is increased this way, some amount of rewards for work need to be given up in the future to pay the debt? Increasing the quantity of money by creating it without it being debt would require central planning, which can’t be done because we don’t live in a state of complete mutual agreement? (What would be the cost to bypass the moneylender?) Economy, Morality and Libertarianism A libertarian doesn’t support positive rights. No one can be forced…

out-of state meeting
I'm being forced to go down to another state about 3 hours~4 hours away driving to go listen to how the budget and incomes varied from last year, like I'm some sort of stockholder. I'm a technician who repairs printers and copiers. I don't care. I don't want to be forced to see the company's profits and then turn around and deny our raises, or to match inflation rates. I have to drive on Saturday to another state to go to the meeting for at least 2 to 3 hrs then a 'break” and have to go back for a banquet as a “thank you” with the intention of us staying in a hotel room nearby to stay the night…they said they are doing the meeting this weekend as the company is closed on Monday (but guess who's working the emergency cover)…..I.mentioned I'd rather have the cost of my gas,…
