Pop the leeches that make us work from womb to tomb to enhance their wealth.

US National Labor Relations Board wage discussion protections.

Since employers want to keep threatening termination for discussing pay here is the exact text from the NRLB so you can send it to them Under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA or the Act), employees have the right to communicate with other employees at their workplace about their wages.  Wages are a vital term and condition of employment, and discussions of wages are often preliminary to organizing or other actions for mutual aid or protection.   If you are an employee covered by the Act, you may discuss wages in face-to-face conversations and written messages.  When using electronic communications, like social media, keep in mind that your employer may have policies against using their equipment.  However, policies that specifically prohibit the discussion of wages are unlawful.   You may have discussions about wages when not at work, when you are on break, and even during work if employees are permitted…

After 3 months of asking for comparable pay to my other job…

I was rejected and told that what I was receiving was fair compensation. If it were fair, I wouldn’t have had to apply for a second job that pays me more to do pretty much the same thing. There are people in my department who are new hires that worked a different area and kept their higher pay coming to us. I’m happy for them, but I’m mad that I’m making $2/hr less to train them. I was hoping they would at least raise my pay by $1 to be comparable to my second job, but they told me no. So… I’ve been applying for jobs on and off now counting on being an internal hire to help me out a little, but it hasn’t. How can I make my resume beat the AI for jobs I qualify for or at least go to the next stage?

Dave Chappelle and his rich neighbors don’t want the poors living in town

Get ready to hear some twisted logic to justify why Dave Chappelle used his wealth to threaten his town against approving a private investment for affordable housing. People worship celebrities in this country and will defend them to their last breath. I encourage you to watch the “citizen comments” section of this town hall meeting (and not just the 1 minute Chappelle clip) to get an idea of what these people think of working people. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThJ-uDDbhGQ

I keep getting saddled with jobs that SEEM really great on paper but are just awful on the inside

Got fired from my last job which was sort of casual entertainment but had a pretty severe health hazard. Fired. For bringing up the hazard too much and refusing to basically just grin and bear it. Current job is basically secretarial work for an insane entrepreneur who moooost of the time is really nice, pays me well, lenient, easy work… But every now and then likes to take out their own personal frustrations on me, hurl personal insults at me, start arguments over nothing, and generally verbally and emotionally abuse me simply to re-assert their status. It actually 100% mirrors abuse I endured before in non business relationship and it’s really freaky. Normally I would have quit by now but the pay:workload ratio is fantastic and, I don’t think I could get another job right now if I wanted to. I know because I’ve been trying. After the rage episodes,…

Was someone having a stroke when they posted the “Note from the CEO?” Also, what’s this “no being idle” bs? You’re not hiring a dam robot.

Why are people being asked to return to the office?

What excuses are coming up? On one side, companies like apple have said, “our offices are awesome, we’ve invested a lot into them. you must enjoy them”. Which is fair enough. But the excuse, “I didn’t hire you for remote work”, or “because I’m the boss and I say so” just don’t sit right with me. So I want to know, what excuses are being thrown around? For context, I was listening to a podcast by 99% invisible on the future of office design and tons of people are leaving companies that are forcing people back to the office.

Company made $20b in 2020. This would be like someone earning $50k a year donating 25 cents. The fact they have to take out ads to brag about it is sickening as well.

After job hunting for 6 months, I couldn’t be happier with my new decision for employment. Don’t settle

Pay is way above the cost of living in my town, we get catered lunches 3 days a week (MWF that we order ahead of time and individual meals are labeled with our names to ensure we each get what we wanted), the break areas are always full of free snacks/drinks, we are encouraged to take care of our physical and mental health as well as our financial wellbeing with free resources provided for us, the company pays for 80% of our insurance (health/vision/dental with eligibility for enrollment starting on day 1), and we have 14 paid holidays (aside from our personal PTO/sick days) every year. In addition to all these perks, I really love my new boss. She treats me with respect, asks for my input, and listens when I talk. She sincerely asks me how I’m doing/adjusting everyday (I moved over 1,000 miles for this job), and asks…
