Antiwork

My boyfriend was seriously hurt on the job 4 years ago. He fell and both his knees literally bent backwards. He has had multiple Surgerys and after about a year of Physio therapy can walk and stand for short periods of time but is still not well enough to return to any job that requires him to stand or walk for long periods of time. He has been getting workers compensation all this time. Which is supposed to be half a minimum wage paycheck. However he's not getting this anymore. When he first got hurt minimum wage was around $10 an hour now its almost 13 and hopefully soon be 15. He's still getting half of the 10 an hour paycheck because that's how much it was when he got hurt. He's been so stressed because of money he's losing hair. How is someone supposed to survive like this. He…

First off I agree with all of the sentiment work life balance is out of whack you should have half of the time off half of the time working this would be a fair balance and realistically it should be affordable for all people to do just this.

Either being at work commuting to work or being there early. So you start off…

I just got a new contract which states: “Please note that the remuneration of staff is a private and confidential matter and you are kindly requested not to discuss your remuneration with others.” Is this legal in South Africa? Ps, this is a job with a local government entity

Hi, i’ve been on this subreddit for a while now and i’ve wanted to talk about how fucking incompetent the company i work for is, especially with a lot of shit i might post later, but anyways i thought i could post this. Some background info, i work for a company that outsources logistics work for other companies. We have all different locations across the world. Mainly dealing with the automotive industry. Anyways, our specific branch, i guess you’d call it that, does work for a large foreign car company in the U.S. We grab the cars from the plant, drive them next door to our facility, quality check them first to make sure they’re working okay. After this they either get sent out to the rail yard to get loaded onto trains/trucks, or they go over to my department. The side i work on does installs for the cars.…
