not enough employees

We can have as many employees as we need and millions more by just opening immigration from Mexico to the US and I bet they all will not mind being vaccinated

Sticky or FAQ about common employer BS

We should really do a sticky about common employer scams like wage theft, illegal payroll deductions, lying about quitting without enough notice; all the usual stuff. We could link to specific resources such as IRS contractor rules, state labor departments, etc.

The Drooling Letters which are the sloppily managed Graffiti Drips of our labor…..Ani D. from already 2 decades ago

Ask me , go head, ask me if I care, I got the answer here, I wrote it down somewhere, just gotta find it…(rest due to copy-paste) I'm getting bold in my old age So go ahead, try the door It doesn't matter anymore I know the weak hearted are strong willed And we are being kept alive Until we're killed He's up there The ice is clinking in his glass He sends me little pieces of paper I don't ask I just empty my pockets and wait. It's not fate It's just circumstance I don't fool myself with romance I just live … Phone number to phone number Dusting them against my thighs In the warmth of my pockets Which whisper history incessantly Asking me Where were you I lower my eyes Wishing I could cry more And care less, Yes it's true, I was trying to love someone…

How to get fired (yet be able to collect unemployment) but still be on good terms for future recommendations?

I'm a good worker, at a good job in a company that's doing very well. I am going to transition to somewhat of a stay at home dad with possible part time gigs in the future. It would be nice if these part time gigs could contact my boss and him to let them know that indeed I was a good employee.

I’m calling out my boss about unfair expectations tomorrow. Wish me luck?

Like I said, I'm calling out my boss. By my math, I'm expected to do 3-4 the amount of work as my peers to qualify for the same bonuses. I've been quiet about this for 6 years, but I am done. I'm bad at conflict, but I've plenty of time to prepare facts and numbers, so I'm kinda hopeful. Wish me luck?

Been out of the workforce a while (mental health) recently started the job hunt again…

I’m being more selective as I know what kind of atmosphere I need! The only job I really wanted and had previous experience at turned me down after my interview because the kid who interviewed me just didn’t like me! I’m in my late 20s with experience and a newly made manager 18 year old declined to hire me because she didn’t like me and said I didn’t fit the vibe of the company!

Trickle-up effect

What would happen if you stripped the Billionaires of their money and liquidity (and left them a paltry amount of $1m each) and gave the money to rhe masses? Would trickle-up work? Have we seen this tested in the past? How do we know if we've never tried it?
