How do I report a company for basically stealing from charities?

I found out my manager has been lying to the non profit clients about the SLA numbers and “rounding” up on billing. For example, if a task took 1 minute to complete, she rounded up and billed for 15 minutes. Obviously this creates a huge discrepancy between the actual time spent on tasks and the time that was billed. In my opinion it’s stealing from the clients. Is there somewhere that I can report this information? The dept head and accounting manager are aware of the situation. Someone did the billing correctly when she was out and they were struggling to figure out what to do about it as the clients would obviously know something was wrong (it was a big difference between what was billed the month prior). Their solution was to use info from last month to add onto the billing so it wouldn’t seem like such a…

What do you think of a “shadow shift”?

Basically title. Place I applied to told me that they needed me to shadow a shift to make sure I wanted this position. If I still wanted the job after the shift, they would schedule an interview. I confirmed that I would only be observing, and not working during this time. So, what do you think about this unusual requirement? I've never had to do a shadow shift before an interview.

Does anyone know the legality of this? I found a source saying that they can ASK for one, but can’t legally require it unless three consecutive days of sick time are being used. State is AZ. I work as a student and I feel like my bosses rely on a lot of people not knowing the law.

I think it’s time for a general strike in america

Labor day would be a great day to start it. It's already a long weekend, what if we just made it a long double weekend? I personally need to know that people are behind this movement. I think seeing half the country take a week off of our own accord would not only shock the deniers who feel wage slavery is not a problem, I think it would strengthen the resolve of those already in the fight and those who haven't stepped up yet! Really, I just want to do something.

Do y’all know any good songs about how work is a soul-sucking nightmare?

Everything from the status of unemployment (i.e. jobless and seeking a new job), with the clock ticking on your ability to make rent and pay the bills and survive, the recruitment process and all its bullshit, CVs that will please the AI, cover letters that show off how enthusiastic and passionate and eager you are for this specific job at this specific place, the start at the new workplace, the time you spend getting used to it, the anxieties associated with moving if you've gone to work in a new town, let alone a new country, the difficulties of having any time or energy saved for the family, friends, loved ones, the unpaid overtime and expected wage theft, the weeks and the months and the years burning away into hours that someone else decides how they're spent, the expectations of loyalty that aren't reciprocated, the anxiety of exerting your rights…
