Basically the title. My company is calling us back soon and curious about the experience of others. Our ceo insists that we must be in the office but the staff def does not share the same opinion.

Not sure what to do!
So back story first, in 2018 I had a stroke and 2 heart attacks. I also have diabetes and neuropathy. Which is really bad. It has taken me 4 yrs to get some what back to normal. I applied for disability and never got it. I got tired of fighting for it knowing I really need it. I applied for a job and got it. I start Tuesday. Me and my husband currently live with his mom who is in her 70s. She basically takes care of us. My husband does odd jobs to have money. I feel guilty for her having to take care of us. I don't think she wants him to work cause he does so much around here. She has told me she thinks that I may not be able to do this job. And she said that if I can't do it quit. She said…

This song might fit here.
So not exactly “anti work” as such but I'm going over to the States next month from the UK. I've been lurking here long enough to know wait staff in the US are underpaid badly and management regularly take portions of their tips. My question is this: is there a way to make sure any server I have at a restaurant over there gets 100% I give, without potentially losing their job as a result? I do not want any part of my tips going to some middle manager that doesn't deserve it.

Requesting anti work meme’s
Need some anti work memes, especially ones about working harder pays off. Spam me please. Need to show some boomers up.
I’m a teacher who frequents this subreddit, and I just had a presentation from a small group of 6th grade students arguing the case for no homework. Growing up, homework was such a normalized thing for me, that I never really questioned giving it to my students. Even now, I think back on my high school years and can feel the echoes of the stress of staying up until 4 in the morning trying to complete assignments. I learned how to take naps after school so I could pull all-nighters the day before essays were due. The more I read of the horror stories on this sub, the more I feel it resonate within myself. I’m sick (quite literally) and tired of the constant pressure I feel to work outside of my contracted hours. So why in the world am I doing the same things to my students? As of…

The pain of the greeting “hello”.
Poetry from 60+ years ago. Some things don't change much. The Name on the Marble The workman that lives in the hovel, The boss that dwells on the hill, The sweat and the blood on the handle, The manicured hands in the till. The dirt and grime of construction, The carpeted floors in the hall, The flirting with death and destruction, The driving, hitting the ball. The names on buildings in cities, The nameless who died on the job, The rich, the minks and the kitties, The banquet, corn on the cob. The paycheck on Friday–existence, The corporate bonds in the vault, The union, the strike, the resistance, The placing of blame and of fault. The exam, the query, inspection, The son-in-law wanting the job, The waiting, the hope, the rejection, The appointment, the relative, slob. The saving of pennies in vases, The banknotes agleam in the jar, The worn-out shoes and…
Why do we feel so miserable about life and money right now? Why economy is not working in the favor of all? Why the gap keeps growing between a minority who has all & a majority that has almost nothing? Is it time to address inequality? Let's pray the Great Resignation movement will be the hope to adjust an unbalanced reality & bring a concrete change!
