What I find troubling is even if you’re good at your job it can get taken away from you at any time

Not only do you have to worry about being a “good worker” there's no guarantee that you can even retain that job! The past few companies I have worked for have had layoffs and I was considered a “good worker”. It's deflating when you do actually give a shit , have decent hours and have decent pay that you can still lose it due to a layoff. All it takes is for another company to swoop in and take it over or for your company to fail it's quota a few times before it decides to layoff their employees.

Waffle House gets it right.

10% service charge for to-go to make sure the staff gets paid and an additional 10% to cover the supplies since everything is so cheap already. I find this the best way to make sure take-out pays their fair share.

Notice Period Survival – please help me try not to go insane!

How do you mentally survive your longass notice period? All I want to do is up and leave this place! but 4 week NP (just about 1 week in right now) has me going crazy already. Not going to get walked out, that would have happened already 🙁 Background: Been working for this engineering company for the last (almost) 9 years, workplace agreement requires 4 weeks notice. I've been in talks for the last 2 months about a potential new job opportunity in the Events Industry – and I finally took it! I don't start until July though – with my 4 week notice period before I leave I feel like I'm just already doing the barest of bare minimum and going insane watching the clock already…and I'm only on day 4 of 20! I've written the training documents, organized the handover training to my successor…my heart just isn't in…

Mainstream media has been warning us for decades if not centuries if not Mellenia. History repeats itself, this is not a joke, or hyperbole.

How many different examples could I give of artist throwing in in our face how corrupt and fucked up things truly are. Its a bread crumb trail so to speak.

Hassled over free food

So I had worked for this particular company pre-pandemic, and when I was there food in the galley was free for the crew. First day I’m getting retrained/having a refresh and the other deckhand, the captain, and I had a little more than a pack of hotdogs all together and I had three myself. Zero issues. Day two im with another deckhand and the dock manager who’s just below the regular manager. I’m not eating to eat but if I’m hungry I’m grabbing something to snack on which isn’t unusual, and I got two buns ready but there was only a single hotdog so I literally cut it in half and used both so I didnt waste anything. We finish up and I’m sent to another boat and I get a text from the manager asking me to call so I call and he asks me about using the galley…
