(On mobile sorry if there are formatting issues) My check was supposed to be here by Friday. Monday comes around and still no check. When asked about it all my dm has to say is that the company is working on it, nothing about when we’re actually going to be getting our checks or what the company is doing to fix the problem. I have bills due today, my car is getting fixed tomorrow, and my cat has a vet appt Wednesday. I get paid 10 an hour. I can’t afford to go without my check for any amount of time. I know I need to contact the labour board of my state fair this, but is there a certain amount of time you have to wait before contacting?

Creating an antiwork union
Just wondering if it's possible to create a union based on the anti work community. Could be quite easy by creating some ground rules for employers like a minimum wage of X, basic rules for overtime (e.g. paying 125%), etc etc. The great benefit of this is that setting it up is largely anonymous thereby gaining significant mass without corporates being able to interfere is significantly more difficult. Here we can unite and make our demands known. The only scary part that is asked of everyone who sympathizes is to let their demands be known when the time comes and significant mass has been reached. Let me know what you guys think?
I’m a freshman college student studying business and a couple weeks ago a junior in the same investing club as me offered me a one-time weekend job. He works as a student trainer for a financial modeling certification program. He knew I had competed the certification, and he needed an assistant to help him teach a boot camp over the weekend, 16 hours of work in total. I agreed, and he told me he’d “make sure I got paid”, but didn’t tell me how much. It wasn’t in his control, and I figured the company would just give me minimum wage. A few weeks later I get my invoice and it’s literally 125 dollars…for 16 hours of work. That’s less than minimum wage in the state I attend college. I’m so beyond frustrated I don’t even know what to do.
CW: This post is pessimistic and a bit cynical. [Skip this if you don't want to know abt my personal struggles] I'll get to the point and maybe burn this bridge. My husband lost most of its income (he's a university teacher, we're in Brazil and several universities are operating with the minimum). We desperately need some support to make it to the end of the month, 10 USD can help us with groceries for the week, bc of inflation, you can help us here: https://ko-fi.com/rangelda [ End of plea] https://www.lastampa.it/vatican-insider/en/2013/09/22/news/francis-message-to-the-unemployed-where-there-is-no-work-there-is-no-dignity-1.35981880 “Pope Francis' message to the unemployed: “Where there is no work, there is no dignity.” The full quote follows: “This suffering is caused by unemployment and leads you – forgive me to use such strong words but I speak the truth – to feel that your life lacks dignity.

work is so fucking stupid
i'm sitting on two remote job conference calls listening to people on each talk about nothing screaming into the void trying to construct some sense of meaning and it's just so depressing that this is how hundreds of millions of people live and die against an indifferent universe for the one precious life they get and for what? so some rich asshole can have a few more numbers on paper that make his relative social status feel more important? the world we have built is psychotic
