Antiwork

My gf is having an issue with her employer where the employer will only pay her base hourly wage for overtime hours. The employer says she “can't afford” to pay overtime pay, so any overtime hours is just the normal rate. Is this legal? If not, what do we do? My gf worked 96 hours this past pay period and none of them were counted for overtime.

So i was asked by a guy to make a change in his Shopify store. I implemented the changes and guy isn't paying because i did it too fast. He said 30usd for a 10 minutes job isn't worth it. He cancelled the order and is still using my code. I am a seller on Fiverr from a 3rd world country and this guy who claims to be a brand owner isnt willing to pay my fee.

So here's my success story that I wanted to share given the amount of joy this sub had brought me over the lay few years. Long thread alert if you want to fast forward. This started in 2020. Our department had just been through several shake ups and changes (my boss and our dept admin were both fired in a manner that were odd, to say the least). Our CIO came into town to announce the changes. He seems like a nice guy and gave the mid-level managers the heads up; he would be bringing in a new director over our groups.

A few months in, the other support team's director let it be known they were working on outsourcing their team and my team as well. I asked my…

Story time, folks! It was a McDonalds, not bad at all considering some horror stories I've heard. I honestly kinda enjoyed the work and enjoyed the people I worked with. We never had any rude customers, none on my shift anyway, which is a bit shocking to me since it was a small town I opened for that store for a month straight, both service and kitchen, and even after I was given shifts when the store opened, was one of their most reliable crew members. I'd cover just about any shift they asked of me and was trained to work nearly everywhere in that store. It was honestly a good gig Aside from one manager. Theres ALWAYS that one manager. She would take me off stops I was good at because I somehow made her mad or with an excuse of I was running up our time. Which was…

Not sure why this sub lately seems to think it’s Gen Z that “sticks it to the man” or this is a new thing. If you’re not being treated well, you’re well within your right to leave/not show up. Especially if you’ve given a job ample chances to do better. I’ve always been under the impression that most people here are millennials +, those who have been working for a while and are fighting back against the way we are treated. idk I just hope it doesn’t turn into a “gen z does it better” scenario because we’re all in this together.

Finally quitting a job that a should’ve left months ago. Basically the only thing that made me stay was the insurance. What do I do? This is America btw. They tie the health of your life into your job so that you cant take a break to change anything…
