I work as a caregiver for patients with developmental disabilities in a small group home. My company is a non profit and we’re in northeastern Ohio. I saw someone posting on here about contacting unions to try and unionize his work and I wanted to know if their was any union groups around me I could contact

ALWAYS take your paid break!

Supervisor mentions the possiblity of getting off early to start the weekend. We work 4-10's, night shift. We get a half hour lunch at 4 hours in, and a 20 minute break 7 hours in. At about 1:30am, he asks if I want to work through break to get out sooner. I say, nah, I'll take my 20 minute paid break. I discussed it with a co-worker who mirrored my thoughts of “GTFOH with that shit!” Why tf would I forego a paid break by choice???? Why would I save money for the international corporation I work for???

This week I found out a 10-year-old gets paid more than me

I’m a PhD intern with 5 years of graduate work behind me and this week I found out my patient’s 10-year-old son makes $20 an hour to umpire baseball games. I make $14 an hr after endless years of school. This is why Academia is inherently flawed and incredibly limiting to anyone not born in the ivory tower. I’m not confident I would have taken this route had I known years ago finances would still be such a struggle. I will make significantly more once I graduate but Academia essentially asks that you give it your all for 5+ years and expect you to live on nothing. No advice needed, just venting. And in my role as a therapist my first goal is to help people develop insight into the systemic stressors influencing their mental health. It’s all so messed up.

Surely minimum wage will increase too, right? This is such a scam!

What was the most worthless thing your job awarded you?

I work for a school full time at evenings as a custodian. And our school decided that they were going to give us VIP passes to all school games for the season. There is a problem, most of our games are in the evening. Guess what shift most of us work in? Second. We don't have time to watch games.

I work at the top company on Forbes 2022 list. My coworkers and I couldn’t help but lol as we witness more career staff quit and admin backfill with shitty travelers/temps instead of paying existing employees a just wage. Your kids lives are in our burntout/incompetent hands.

I guess we are saying out loud children should get paid less than adults? Is this legal?
