Antiwork

I applied for a temp to permanent position as a Mail Handler Assistant in 2022. I was told it would be temp to permanent in the interview, in Orientation I was told I would at least be hired for 365 days(I have witnesses from that orientation). I started at the tail end of November, a bit before Christmas they told all their new hires that they're laying all of the new hires off by at the end of the month. They state they'll call some of us back between then, and a year. I am encouraged to apply for different postal positions and am told that it will not affect my ability to come back to that position when/if they call. On the last day, they tell me they'll call me back for 100% sure, within 6 months. So I took a City Carrier Assistant position. Started it early February…

I’ve done a very slight amount of reading on worker’s rights- and from what I’ve learned, workplaces, when listing on places like Indeed, do not have to make their salary or job description accurate, since public job listings are a form of “advertisement”. So for example, if they are offering $17 an hour on a job listing, they could just not even consider giving you that and offer you $10 an hour after your interview, and as long as they’re being honest about what they will actually pay you and you (for some insane reason) accept, it’s totally legal. Does anyone know if this is 100% true? If so, what does that mean for employees and expectations from public listings?

I work in an office where there is a collection every other week. ‘Penny has moved into a new house so we’re chipping in for a gift card’ ‘Lucy has just got divorced so we’re all chipping in’ ‘Susan is moving to a different office so we’re all chipping in’ I know people do it to try and be nice but honestly it just puts me off working there. No I don’t want to put towards your collection when I’m barely making above minimum wage!!!!!!

So I'm a Geotechnical Engineer who's job is to make sure earth works gets done right. My current gigs at a mine where we are building 3+ km of dykes as a tailings pont for storing shit. The mine is very isolated i dont want to get overly specific lets just say you ain't driving your own vehicle there. In this mine there are 20 maybe 25 working trucks, there are 300-400 people. Apperently being the engineer who's supposed to ensure the quality of work and has to transport a literal nuclear device around 3k of dykes does not warrant a truck. Lets also say you need shelter inorder to be out and about in this place so I literally can't be in the field with out a truck. The micromanaging middle manager is higher on the truck list. Not the foreman because guess what, we don't have one of…
