I’m reporting my bfs job to OSHA

My bf works as a shipper/receiver at a warehouse. It’s a small place, one shop manager, 5 techs that build the product, one shipper/receiver, and the vice president of the company at their location. They don’t follow ANY osha standards. They fuck around on the forklift & cherry picker, no one wears PPE, employees come in drunk & high & drink on the job and this is known by the vice president because he used to drink with them, inventory isn’t stored correctly and it’s a very obvious safety hazard (their products r big as fuck, if it falls on u, ur head is done for), employees will climb shelves without a ladder or anything to reach stuff (picture a toddler climbing a grocery store shelf and a massive bag of rice falls and knocks them onto their head into the concrete floor). Steel toed boots are unheard of there.…

Shoplifting and IDC cause of shitty system

Located in U.S. I just started to shoplift because I’m just tired of these inflated prices simply for corporate greed and profits. They can raise the price all they want but at this point people will find a way to get it for the price of free. I’m just tired of how the system is rigged with record inflation but wages remain stagnant, entry jobs not paying enough but want 3+ years of experience, states fighting against student loan forgiveness, but PPP loans being forgive with no hesitation, fight against remote work which robs us of in saving money with commuting, daycare, or robbing quality times with friends and family. I’m just tired of it. I was shopping for grocery and i can’t believe how much prices shot up compared to a couple of year ago and I was just frustrated cause no matter how much I try to save…

I’m asking for a demotion at my job

I work at a library and was promoted a year ago to be in charge of running a brand new bookmobile program. I was 24 and had never had a full time job with benefits before and was excited to start up a program and help people! Now it’s a year later and going to work makes me so anxious i’ve had to up my anti-depressants, add an anti anxiety medication, and up my therapy. I am alone. they consistently reiterate this. it’s MY project and i’m allowed to ask for help, but should be on my own. we don’t have a bookmobile. i’m running out of a county car and essentially doing home delivery to elderly people and most people i’ve talked to in the county don’t want our services. it’s so discouraging and my bosses don’t seem to get it. i have no history with business and I…
