Social Media Audit

So we have a new manager at my firm and instead of speaking to me or getting to know me, she stalked me on the internet. She found old LinkedIn profiles and demanded that I update them or delete them because “it may be confusing to clients”. She cc’d everyone in my department at my title and above to email me about this, so everyone would know. I told her that I made one profile private and the other one I don’t have access to it because it’s so old. I told her that she was making me feel uncomfortable and to stop investigating my history on the internet and she needed to respect my boundaries and privacy. Now we have a meeting scheduled with HR tomorrow. I could lose my job. Any thoughts?

Friend got a job in China today. I’ll miss him, but I couldn’t be happier for him.

I have a friend who works ad a teacher in the UK. He currently earns £30k. For that he works 80 hours a week, has to deal with degenerate children and the arseholes who raised them. Last year he was told he would be “beaten to a pulp in the car park” for telling a parent their kid was en route to failure. Today he was offered a job in China for the equivalent of £51k before bonuses. He sets off in July.

My coworker who was hired after me is making $6k more than I am

I've been here 6 months and he's been here 1. He has less experience, less schooling, and less qualifications than me. I'm wondering what steps I can take to renegotiate my salary to something closer to what he's making? I'm in Wisconsin and we're an at-will state, so I have to tread lightly or I can lose my job. My other coworkers are in the same situation, making the same as me with a $6k difference. (In addition, my coworker who just got a raise has been here 2 years and still makes $4.5k less than the new hire, with more qualifications). I'm updating my resume tonight and looking into unions in the sector as well as possibly scheduling a walkout, and I have a meeting with HR on Thursday with at least 2 of my coworkers to back me up. Any advice, legal or not, would be much appreciated.

Totally destroyed my boss!

Long story short I have a supervisor who is a registered sex offender and he put his hood and sunglasses on trying to be cool. The crew we're all joking around saying you like so and so (terminator unibomber). This is the moment that I said the most clever thing I could think of “you look your about to be caught by Chris Hanson (how too catch a predator). Everyone in the groups jaws just hit the floor nobody laughed we all just had this cringe moment and went to back to work. 10/10 he's also a fucking prick of a boss!

Thought: what if we crowdfunded money to copy the stock trades of the members of congress who beat the market by the most/most consistently and then used that money to fund working class candidates?
