Update: My company is going to be completely without admin tomorrow

Hi guys! Sorry for the delay. I’ve been enjoying my time at home! So I went into the office Tuesday morning as if I had no idea that they had laid off my coworker. My boss was there and I said “No {coworker} today?“ And she said that she had to let her go. I told her that was unfortunate because had she been informed that the market was slow, she would have gladly given up a few hours. I said “It is a well-known fact in the company that I have no desire to be your assistant. That was {coworker’s} role from the start and I am in NO WAY willing to absorb her responsibilities”. I forgot to point out in my original post that we didn’t share a role, she was the boss’s direct assistant!! I told her that I have not been happy since we went back…

Found tax records and my boss makes way more than me.

I work for a small organization and do the work of three positions. That’s not hyperbole, my title actually includes three managerial positions. I’m salary and my hours vary by week, but it’s not unusual for me to work late into the evenings and on weekends. The job is work from home, but offers no benefits. I found my company’s tax information, and my boss, who only has one job at our organization, makes well over 100k a year, double what I make. His pay is salary as well, but he takes off a minimum of 6 weeks a year. What the shit.

Why doesn’t the Government regulate employee wages/raises?

It's obviously apparent that companies are seeing record profit margins despite inflation. So corporations are making more money than ever while employees has not seen any raises/wage adjustments with decreased buying power on top of that. It seems it would make sense for a law to be passed that yearly raises must be exactly the same (at minimum) as the yearly inflation rate. Going further, if you want people to respect capitalism at all, we must enact laws that share profits with employees and I'm not talking about stock equity. If a companies profit margins sharply increase over their 5 year average, it should be required for companies to set aside 25% of those extra profits and distribute to yearly bonuses or raises. These are simple laws that are now required in a world of never-ending corporate greed and employee abuse.

I’ve had two days on this job and I have done NOTHING for 16 hours, still getting paid. Finesse:

So I’m doing target PT fulfilment for some money for my pc. Had orientation Tuesday and my first day Wednesday. I actually put in my two week notice on workday before my first training shift. Leader who was in charge of orientation gave us no instruction on what to do for our first real shift so I came to work, went in the computer room and asked for the guy who’s supposed to be training me. Took him an hour to come and apparently there was a mix up with the names so I was told to just complete my workday training for 8 hours… didn’t finish obviously Next shift(today) came in, no Hr in the office so I just sat around for an hour and then got on the computer and have been here ever since. No one has checked on me or even knows who I am. Easy…
