Inflation issues are a damn lie.

Most countries have been open for at least a year now. All unemployment benefits related to the pandemic ended in Sept. I can order a fucking dinglehopper on wish and get it at the same speed as pre-COVID. Where are these “supply chain issues”? Or do you think this is a capitalist playground now where if companies make less product, hire fewer workers, they can charge whatever the fuck they damn well please and turn every product into a rat race? Thoughts?

You Should Know: Playing Fox news in the break room can be considered creating a sexually hostile environment.

A hostile environment is pretty clear cut and dry when explicit sexual content is permitted to repeatedly appear and thrive. People should not have to be subjected to discussions between the anchors of their masturbation habits, jokes about prophylactics, discussions of the size of the size of Donald Trump's penis, and full on explicitly detailed descriptions of rape. It's been playing in my break room for probably more than a decade. I'm tired of being forced to listen to the filthy way that their anchors speak while I am trying to eat. I'm talking to HR tomorrow morning about it. Are you?

What salary should I target?

Hello everyone, first post to this group so I hope something like this is allowed. I’m a mechanical engineer who’s pretty young, only about 3 years total of relevant work experience since graduating with my Bachelors. I’m in the Duluth, GA area and make 70k now. Is that fair? What should I ask for as I start applying to new companies?

Forced unofficial holiday

Our TX company/hospital is trying to force the staff to work unofficial holidays such as Mother’s Day, Black Friday, Halloween and other unofficial holidays which are notoriously understaffed. Staff already has required weekends and federal holidays. They will not pay extra for said forced unofficial holidays. Anyone familiar with Texas labor laws that could protect us when going to HR? Hope this is the right sub for this. TIA.

some coworkers make more because of what their position is called

I started working for a nonprofit as a data analyst a few months ago and have mostly been enjoying the work. It's not necessarily what I was expecting, but the pay is nice, I enjoy working from home, and it's my first position out of grad school. It is a grant funded position, so it currently ends end of July, there's always possibility of extension, but I don't know when that discussion occurs. On my team there are 4 positions, and the pay increases based on degrees and experience (according to the job descriptions). except for one. data analyst (66-72k, 1 year exp, bachelors) epidemiologist (70-80k, 2 years exp, masters) senior epidemiologist (82-94k, 5 years exp, PhD or MD) junior epidemiologist (77-99k, no exp posted, no degree posted) Now the junior position doesn't have exp or degree in the posting (which no longer exists); however, the people on my team…
