I have to get health insurance for me and my husband through work. And like it's pretty good health insurance. BUT I pay more for benefits than I pay in taxes AND both combined I'm paying over a third of my pay to both of them. Universal Healthcare would make everything better. Fuck insurance companies us poor.
It is currently 23°F. His office has a heater unit inside of it. The back of our shop has no heating, so I decided to utilize it to help out a coworker. Clearly that pissed him off. Love it here
So I got a decent job offer yesterday and the pay was fine but I know they can do better. I asked if the pay was negotiable but got back a solid no. I ended up requesting a lil more anyways as the “lowest I could accept” and hit send pretty confidently as I feel there is always a little wiggle room in the first offer. Now I'm second guessing. What if they were serious about it and I said that i can't accept the lower offer? Would they rescind the offer or give me one more chance to accept as is? I know they don't really have anyone else except me applying for the position so it really only hurts them in the long run but I still actually want this job. Now I have to wait until next week to find out if they will accept or not.…
I’ve been walking around to everyone at my job,anyone I know who makes minimum wage and saying one sentence. “Minimum wage, Minimum Effort”
Said by the manager at my last job when my coworker informed everyone she was pregnant. Because she needed to put her life on hold for her $13/hr job.
I live in New Jersey. I worked at an ice cream shop for 3 years when I was 17 until I was 20. This ice cream shop stole employee time by having a closing manager write the time we “clocked out” but they would write early times to make it seem like we cleaned up earlier. They also would only go by 15 minute blocks because the manager was too lazy to actually add time punches. So if we finished at 1108 they clocked us out at 11. We also had a meeting after clocking out when we would count tips so we were still working off the clock technically. The owner had a huge ego and would hold meeting every year sometimes more for all the stores where he would yell and swear at us. One girl actually passed out during it and crying during them was the norm.…
I had two interviews ghost me this past week. One was for the better because it honestly was a total last resort application, like many others I’ve put in the last few months, the other was an NGO that I’ve always wanted to work for. Let’s just say there was a very good response from the NGO about what happened to my missed phone interview. I go in next week to get the particulars and hopefully get this job. The boss man who called me to make up for his subordinate was really insightful about the position. I explained to him that this was an organization I’ve always wanted to work for yet have never seen the position available before. He literally said to me that due to “what are they calling it? The great resignation?…(yes)..we have a huge worker shortage” and with that folks please, take it from a…
