Don’t let imposter syndrome stop you! You don’t need to be an expert to transition into a new career.

If you’re trying to make a career change, realize that people don’t expect you to know everything. For example, if you’re a junior software engineer, you won’t need to know every language, and you’ll still need assistance here and there. Here are some ways to prep yourself: You’ll want to delay your career change because you don’t know everything. Don’t! Focus on building confidence in your ability to learn and problem-solve.  Talk to career changers and recent hires. They can tell you what job expectations are and what their workload looks like. Build experience by building side projects similar to the work you’ll be doing. If you need help transitioning into a career you’re passionate about, check us out here!

Help what should I do.

I’m an assistant manager at Family dollar and I pulled a double yesterday and opened today. Now, today my main manager is sick again so I might have to pull another double and open tomorrow. We have a third manager but she isn’t picking up the phone or answering my texts at all about covering for night shift. Is there a way I can close the store early or take her off payroll for not answering for two days? I cant believe i might have to pull another double even though we have another manager who’s just not picking up the phone

The Supreme Court can’t take away our right to collective bargaining, here’s why

Originally posted and removed on alt (I think) for being too new of an account: The right to collective bargaining/unionizing is unique from other rights. Most “rights” are derived from culturally and socially accepted basic individual needs. In America we boiled these down to “Life, Liberty, and property (pursuit of happiness)” thanks to political philosopher John Locke. Collective bargaining is unlike our other rights, because it comes from a completely different source. While connections could certainly be made back to Lockean tenets, we have the right to unionize and collectively bargain by virtue of basic math. There are too many of us, and too few of them. It really is that simple. The Supreme Court can make any ruling they like, it doesn't change the numbers. The right to collective bargaining was fought for and won by a LOT of brave people, not a few. It was not handed to…

Every meeting with my director of customer service. He acts dumbfounded saying “nobody wants to work”

They are hiring low paying warehouse jobs and always asks us why no one wants to work 🤣because we all get paid we all act stupid. “I wonder why, that’s crazy”. OR maybe because the pay is shit and people don’t want to freeze in a warehouse anymore, there are way better options for shit pay. This guy makes over 150k and can’t comprehend why it’s just funny to me.

Voting Day should be anti-work day

Until Voting Day becomes a legal national holiday, all workers should use this day to strike/sick-out/call in sick/take a personal day. The vast stoppage of work would be a demonstration of our collective will to have a day free for voting when we like and how we like. We should encourage non-work on this day.
