Antiwork

I’m at the end of my rope and I don’t know what to do. I submit this for help: My direct supervisor continues to just bowl over my entire department. He claims we are to operate on our own with minimal intervention but will just go behind our back and change things back to how they were. He will go to see our patients without talking to us first and will make his own recommendations- and usually disregards our recommendations. If he calls our phone and we aren’t there he will BLOw IT UP, calling back to back upwards of 7 times. He tells us that the policy is one thing, but when we try to enforce it (and staff and/or patients get pissy) he will just go around us and do it anyway. He has attempted to add things to our job description without talking to us about it…

(On mobile sorry if there are formatting issues) My check was supposed to be here by Friday. Monday comes around and still no check. When asked about it all my dm has to say is that the company is working on it, nothing about when we’re actually going to be getting our checks or what the company is doing to fix the problem. I have bills due today, my car is getting fixed tomorrow, and my cat has a vet appt Wednesday. I get paid 10 an hour. I can’t afford to go without my check for any amount of time. I know I need to contact the labour board of my state fair this, but is there a certain amount of time you have to wait before contacting?

Just wondering if it's possible to create a union based on the anti work community. Could be quite easy by creating some ground rules for employers like a minimum wage of X, basic rules for overtime (e.g. paying 125%), etc etc. The great benefit of this is that setting it up is largely anonymous thereby gaining significant mass without corporates being able to interfere is significantly more difficult. Here we can unite and make our demands known. The only scary part that is asked of everyone who sympathizes is to let their demands be known when the time comes and significant mass has been reached. Let me know what you guys think?

I’m a freshman college student studying business and a couple weeks ago a junior in the same investing club as me offered me a one-time weekend job. He works as a student trainer for a financial modeling certification program. He knew I had competed the certification, and he needed an assistant to help him teach a boot camp over the weekend, 16 hours of work in total. I agreed, and he told me he’d “make sure I got paid”, but didn’t tell me how much. It wasn’t in his control, and I figured the company would just give me minimum wage. A few weeks later I get my invoice and it’s literally 125 dollars…for 16 hours of work. That’s less than minimum wage in the state I attend college. I’m so beyond frustrated I don’t even know what to do.
