Seattle restaurant wanted to interview me today. Did a quick Google search just to find out their head chef was accused of over a dozen sexual misconduct allegations. They plan to reopen with him at the helm. This was my response.

I was walked out of work today because I said the word union on my lunch break.

Today during lunch I was talking to my buddy about how I believe unions are good, and more people should trust them. Well long story short before the end of the day I was in HR and fired for discussing union organization and “trying to insight a riot”. Wow I already found a better job, but do I just let it go or?

University Witholding Transcript due to “Late Payment Fee” from 12 years ago

I don't know if this fits into anti work here but sort of fits into the detrimental college/employment relationship most of us are experiencing. I was recently hired for a remote position that requires a background check. Everything cleared except the prospective employer did not hear back from my university (US institution) while trying to verify my degree. I then requested a transcript myself, only to find out that apparently there is a hold on my account from the Bursar's office. When I contacted the Bursar's office they notified me that despite paying my tuition in full, there was a “late payment fee” of $100 from over 12 years ago. As a result, they aren't releasing my transcript. I was unaware I still owed this fee, furthermore employers in the past have contacted this University to verify my degree without issue. At this point in time I am unable to…

What really is inflation?

Would it not matter if the ratio to how much you make per hour is the same as merchandise? For example if I made 15 an hour and gas was 5 dollars a gallon. In one hour of work I can buy 3 gallons. If during inflation gas rose to 15 dollars a gallon and my wage went up to 45 per hour the ratio stays the same. A post on here reminded me of this. It said back in early 1900s someone made 1000 a year and bought their house for 3000. In the current time you can buy a house for 150k. It's not going to be the greatest but if you made 50k a year that is still the same ratio as back then.
