I have to pay my work to park at work
I have to pay $85/month to park at my work. Wonder why me and my coworkers like working from home. I bet the employer has really been missing all that cash. Probably explains their push to get us all back in the office 5 days a week even though I just sit at a desk in front of a computer all day.
Lots of posts here about bad working conditions and yet barely any OPs mention what they do or what industry they are in. What industries are best to look at for a better work environment? (And on the flip side, which industries should be avoided that maybe aren’t obvious to avoid?)
I just started a new job on the 14th. The pay period ended on the 15th so my first check will be for two days. I just got the payroll schedule and that check wouldn’t be deposited until the 15th of March and since they pay bi-monthly I wouldn’t get a full check until the 31st of March. This seems like an extremely long time to struggle while working but I also feel like I’m between a rock and a hard place at the moment because looking for and changing jobs will also just delay getting income into our household. I still like I could get a paycheck from anywhere else before even start getting paid from my new job. Does this seem strange to anyone else?
Is this really how life works?
Hello everyone, I really need to talk about this to people who can understand me because my family won't. 2 months ago I (26M) started working for a consulting company after my Bachelor+Master. I was so excited to start my career after all these years of studies and minor works and my mood was on top level! People in the office are nice to me and my boss is a good mentor, the pay will be good after I'm done with my internship (6 months) and I can't really complain about anything. Also I know that I'm a privileged guy because my family helped me a lot with my studies and I had to pay only some minor stuffs. BUT. Last week I suddenly started to feel a bit anxious about my life. I have a nice job and I work with nice people and I feel guilty to even…
Maybe not the right sub but…
I work full time and have a part time once a week job. It’s on my day off so I really only have one day off a week. My boss said tonight he’d pay me $450 for tonight. For context, I work 6 hours at this job, and get off work at 2:30 AM. The manager at the end of the night asked if I’d take $250 and I said no, I wanted at least $350. This drunk girl at the bar said, well I’d do it for $250 (what he originally offered). I didn’t say anything but what I wanted to say was, “Great, I’ll train you and sell you my equipment for $3,000”. I’d let a friend work for me a few weeks bc she needed the money and they made it pretty clear they prefer me, but don’t want to have to pay me more than what…
My mom has a government contract job that's essentially helping veterans get all the medical benefits from their service. First of all, notice I said contract job, so in other words, the government found a way to make this company that works for the government that should be getting the benefits of a government job not be entitled to those benefits. As it is, when my mom started she made less than my sister made at Target. Now I thinks she only makes a few cents more. And you guessed it: she also doesn't have health insurance. Aside from that, they have a ridiculous policy. They have a call quota they're supposed to reach (calling on behalf of veterans to schedule appointments, request the documents from those appointments, request corrections on any mistakes in those documents, etc.) and if you regularly meet your quota, they increase it. For no further…
