Seen it all now
Recently my company has really started to push back ok a lot of the comforts we gained during the COVID lockdowns. Our department went full WFH just before lockdowns in the US started happening. Now it seems my managers are tired of managing the schedules.
At my previous job, I was paid $22 and had a significantly heavier workload compared to my current job, where I estimate I'm only doing one-third of the work. I work in the accounting department of a small family business with a total of 30 employees, and there are only two of us in the accounting department: myself and the controller. Even with my current workload, I sometimes intentionally slow down, and I'm not sure if this is ethical. I'm concerned that if my previous employer knew about my current workload, they would have paid someone $19-$20 for it, whereas I'm currently being paid $25. Given the downtime I have, I'm considering using it to study for my CPA, such as by listening to lectures.

The only observable benefit to maintaining a high population that is immediately directed into the labor industry, is the functionality of currency exchange and stock markets that are exclusively beneficial to the highest financial class, as these markets provide profitable outlets that cannot be compared to more strenuous labor or financial reciprocations for such labor.

Without an influx of obedient laborers in these departments, members of the highest financial class would experience an increased urgency to participate in such analogs of labor themselves in order to preserve the markets their financial security relies on. The involvement in such labor would render the markets less useful, as they are leaned on for less…
It’s a fucking corporate location, and I’ve left voicemails and texts numerous times to HR and they still haven’t gotten back to me. I’ve notified the area leader. I refuse to speak with the store leader (the one I’m employed under) because he’s shady as fuck. There’s a lot of illegal shit going on in this place and I don’t want any part of it. I’ve already reported him to EEOC and LCB. I just hope they actually go forward with the investigation.

They don’t care about family
My husband is working mandatory overtime at his shitty underpaid job. It's bad enough that I'm a pregnant mom and we don't get to celebrate mothers day, but my fucking grandma fell in the shower and died this morning and his asswipe boss won't even let him work a half shift to spend time with the family. But guess what. His boss is home with HIS family today, of course.
