Just got a write-up for leaving 30 minutes early to catch the bus

I use the bus to get everywhere, I don't own or want to own a car. The bus usually runs until 10:30 pm, I usually get out of work at 10 and it takes me 10 minutes to walk to the bus stop, so I'm usually fine. Last Sunday, possibly due to the holiday, the bus was running early, and the last one would be running at 10 pm, so I informed my shift lead and my coworker that I would be leaving early. Come today, I'm called into the office and the manager does the usual shit, asking me why I took off early, asking me to sign a write-up. It took all of my strength not to tell them to fuck off and walk out the door. I'm literally getting fucking writeups for being dependent on public infrastructure because I'm poor, which considering they only pay 17 an…

[Question] desk requirements

I’m going to make this as short as possible… I work at an Amazon warehouse and recently they have taken away our chairs at our desks. Now we have to stand for our entire 10 hour shift at a desk and our back/feet are all starting to ache and it’s taking a toll on my coworkers as they don’t want us to have any padding either (standing on concrete). Is there any osha laws or anything that could help us get our chairs back? I know it may sound silly but doing this for 40+ hours a week is growing exhausting

Being charged $0.25 an hour for drinks AND 3% card processing fees as a server?!?!

Hello fellow anti-work friends, just coming to here to ask… is this illegal? I know it's bullshit, but is it illegal? I am (as of today) working as a server at a restaurant in Phoenix, AZ. They made me sign paperwork which stated that I am agreeing to being charged $0.25 an hour, per hour, every hour that I work for miscellaneous food (soups) and beverage (soda, coffee). No if's and's, or but's. Basically I'm being paid 25 cents less an hour due to this. The other thing that caught me off guard is that I will be charged 3% of every credit or debit card purchase made through myself, and that will be paid to the company. Again, I know this is bullshit, but is it illegal?

READ THE CONTRACT!

Just finished a contract negotiation with a new company. Everything went well during the negotiations. After we wrapped, they sent the contract out via Docusign. Nothing we agreed on was in the contract. It was toxic. Always read the contracts before signing, and NEVER trust the hiring manager. Needless to say I will not be going to work for them.
