Antiwork

If you're being pressured to donate to your boss' Christmas gift, decline to do so with full confidence that you're adhering to well established workplace etiquette norms. The power dynamics/inequity inherent in the employee/boss relationship means that there’s too much chance that employees will feel pressured and resentful of having to buy a gift for the person who controls their paychecks. AND, it’s unseemly for a manager to benefit from his/her position in that way. (Summarized from AskAManager) If YOU are the boss and have direct reports, put a stop to any gift giving from your employees to you. That is all. ​

Every news outlet has business segments. Far more of their viewers get their money from labor rather than investments. If mainstream news wasn't controlled by a handful (5-6) multinational corporations and was producing a product for its consumers it would have a regular labor segment covering how to organize, how to negotiate or leave a job for better salary, how to whistleblow, how to report misdeeds, how to talk about and compare salaries with other employees, wage theft, etc.

I’m having an absolute shitshow of a week. I haven’t had health insurance in a year, I’m epileptic and been having seizures off and on due to not being able to afford a 300$+ neurologist on 13$ an hour. I have been surviving off of “cheap” clinics the entire time for at least my antidepressants/sleep aid. One has shut down, several others say they can’t prescribe antidepressants for whatever reason, and my health insurance through work doesn’t start until next year. And then yesterday, I tripped and (probably) broke my ankle. I’ve contacted something like four clinics now and they all either 1. can’t prescribe antidepressants (they can, a GP can prescribe antidepressants just fine), 2. don’t having a fucking x-ray machine in until Monday. I’m not even thinking about the cost, and my credit card is already maxed out due to how much of a shitshow it’s been (I…

Was just wondering something. Since many people in America are Christians, do you get a day off on Christian holidays like today? Where im from, we have like 10 days or so during the year. Im an atheist myself and this is the only thing i like about religion. Would that be something Republicans can get behind?

What's this subreddit's opinions on the concept?

Sorry if wrong place to ask, I’m not sure where else as I’m pretty active here. I’m going from an hourly temp worker at $30 an hour to a permanent employee. My maths puts me at $62,400 before taxes as an hourly worker. What should I ask as a salary? $65k? Is $70k an unreasonable jump? It is for a Fortune 500 company. My job won’t change too much except I will have to go into the office 4-6 times per month instead of fully remote (fine by me, it’s very close by) Edit: I was pulling up everything the company lists on Glassdoor and found out I may already be a bit underpaid for the work I do. When I first accepted this job a while back I didn’t think it would last longer than a few months so I never looked that stuff up. I’m going to ask…
