Just Do it.

It doesn't matter if the market is saturated. It doesn't matter if “the bubble will bust”. Your time has value. Your care and attention has value. I don't care if you're a bagger, baggers learn spatial and organizable awareness. What ever your thing is, Just do it. Make the art. make the music. write the book. plant the seeds. walk the dogs. breed the dogs. be a beekeeper. be a social media face. Start a cleaning business. there's something you can do. All you do is play videogames? fuck it stream it. watch tv? fuck it react vids. be sexy? fuck it, sell nudes. or prudes I'm sure someone wants to see nun ankles. Just Do the thing. Fuck your bosses. If you cant figure it out, Do what you do for a company for a better one, until you are the company. RTO repoman? start a PI and catch…

Listening to hate speech while at work

The company I work for requires a mask mandate for all employees, also no eating in the Cafe- thus means we all are eating lunch in our cubes. I have a cw that has been belligerent in the past to several others and recently my boss said he would speak to him. This was during my review since I found the courage to speak up about a few incidents. He knew of 1 but not the others. Fast forward to today, I get to my desk and cw is on a call with another cw in a different state. He's going on about how he didn't get a salary grade bump, and the company is bowing to the minorities. Then spouts off the Joe Rogan bs and how it's free speech etc. He is talking loudly so I know others heard him including my boss. No one stopped him. So…

I did an online interview for Amazon a few weeks ago.

I have no choice as I'm currently unemployed and beggars can't be choosers. I have no savings, no insurance. But one thing struck me. During the interview they asked me a total of SIX TIMES if I do more than I'm paid for. The questions basically made 2 statements and you have to choose which one you agree more. So they'd say “You set achievable and reasonable goals” VS “you are motivated by challenges”. Stuff like that boils my blood because it's basic brainwashing. They stated it six different ways. I can't remember all of them but one was “Do you regularly go above and beyond your duties?” and another was “Do you set high expectations for yourself?” and another was “Do you always try to do more than what is expected of you?” I counted the same question six times and my answer remained the same every time.

I helped an employee get wages due from his old job

My employee doesn't have reddit. I run a small restaurant. I hired a server a few weeks back and I over heard him complain he never got paid for training and first few days at his last place. They kept giving him the run around about how it was in the mail. It had been over 2 months and the back pay was around $300. I told him it was illegal to withhold wages and I printed up a Texas workforce complaint document and told him on his next day off go in and ask for a written check, with this document in hand. Ask for your check and tell them they have to write you one or you will fill out the complaint there, sit at the bar and fill out the form in front of them, get names of the managers and district managers then leave. I told…

How do people find work from home jobs where they do little work?

I've mostly worked in blue collar jobs and I want a remote job. Mostly because I want to do the bare minimum working from home so I could spend the rest of my time gaming or web surfing. The problem is I'm trying to find jobs that require no prior experience or degree to apply. I do have some experience, I did go to college for a few years but mostly to get a degree in history. I didn't do so well so I dropped out. I am a fast typer, have a decent computer setup, and have MS office skills. I'm looking for mostly typing type jobs with very little interaction other than emailing my co workers or boss. How do you find a job like this?

Quit My Job for School, Boss Calls to tell me my “Character is not good.”

I have been working this part time job since my junior year of college. The hours sucked but the work was somewhat relevant to my field. Currently I am taking 19 credit hours and simply did not have the time for the job anymore, the hours were overnight and evenings on the weekend. I sent my notice in on Sunday, the upcoming weekend I was scheduled to work overnight, I could not do this as I have two projects due the following week, I told my manager this three weeks ago and he decided to continue having me work that shift. He did not want to be flexible so I quit. Fast foward to this monday, I receive a call at 7am. The managers boss calls me and starts to berate me, “What you did is so dissapointing.” Also, “This makes me question your character as you can't be reliable.”…

Can’t afford lunch? We have a Snack Rack.

They have a snack rack for employees who can not afford lunches. I’ve seen it filled with Ramen, apple sauce, and pop-tarts. You know whatever the Manager finds at the dollar tree that week. It was often times empty Also they do not provide utensils. At least not at the location I worked at. Here’s an idea, maybe pay your employees enough to be able to afford lunch.
