How Do I Professionally Tell My GM I Want A Raise?

So, My Job is a Joke. They are starting new hires at my rate and I've been here for a year. I'm a supervisor and long story short the other supervisor who started after me gots promoted to assistant manager doesn't do half the work I do and I'm clearly getting underpaid with the experience I have in this field for the last 6 years with the same company, different account. I'm currently doing way more work than the new supervisor we just hired who has no idea what she's doing because she has no background in this field at all so when she's working I'm doing 95% of the work anyways. How do I professionally tell my bosses boss I'm tired of being fucked over and I want a raise to match my experience and length of time I've been working for them? Also, currently looking for another job.…

How to tell customers that we don’t receive the tips they give us without getting in trouble?

Every job I’ve had with a tip pool divides the tip pool at the end of the day or the shift between employees who worked that day. It’s honestly usually never been very much, but it will usually cover my train ride home or something. Our customer service standards are ridiculously high, to the point where customer isn’t even supposed to open the door for themselves if we aren’t busy. Because of this people will sometimes leave very generous tips. I have worked at this store (small business so I cannot name it) for about six months and never gotten anything from the tip jar. When I first started working here my manager told me that the tips were going to a “pizza party”, but then my boss (the owner of the store) covered the cost of pizza. Where did the money go? I have no idea. I asked other…

Hate how health insurance is tied to employment in the U.S.

The only reason I work full time is so my family can have health insurance. I hate that. If I had it my way, I would work per diem at multiple places so I had more control over my personal life. End rant.

I have a question about my job’s therapist

My job offers 6 free therapist sessions per year. In which I can talk about anything under the sun, from my life to my job. Even though they say they can't disclose what I say, can they actually make a note in my employee file if I vent about my job and how hard it can be? Has any had experience with this?

Didn’t get the day off from my restaurant job for my best friend’s wedding – need support, suggestions, anything.

Family-owned. I did ask a week before because it’s a last minute wedding (she got pregnant), but I would not have gotten it off anyway as no one can ask for their regularly scheduled shifts off unless someone can cover them if it’s on an important date/ holiday. Friend’s wedding is on the same day as a huge event here in this teeny tiny town I live in, the restaurant will be swarmed. Asked everyone if they could cover, no one wanted to or was able to. So my manager scheduled me for me regular Saturday shift anyway. Of course I’ve considered just not going to work. But I would be fired. This town is teeny tiny, job prospects are low, I could not find another one that pays as well (entirely because of tips), or enough for me to survive if I were to choose to not go to…

I want to start a global government

Hello! I am planning to start a world government with the purpose of granting basic needs to everyone and maintain a good welfare worldwide, trampling over dictators, corrupted politicians etc… (i am simplifying) The purpose is not to “export democracy” or something like that, but just push for certain basic rights and assure that every person joining the association will do “all they can” in their life to achieve such goal. Slowly (but not too much) we can take over the world, end wors, end world hunger, grant everyone a house, healthcare, instruction, the possibility to pursue their passions, fight and revert the climate crisis etc. But i need some help before all this. I need opinions on it and i want to know if you'd like such a concept become reality. I may also need some practical help for the whole online infrastructure, but i guess this will come…

Here…Work some more. Just don’t expect to be paid for it. It’s an honour to work for free.

I live in Japan and work at a small Japanese company. In Japan, you must be enroled in either the national pension and health insurance schemes or the employer equivalent known as “social insurance” (pension and health insurance combined). Basically, in businesses with 100 or fewer employees, if you work less than thirty hours a week, your employer is not obligated to enrol you in the company social insurance plan; it's optional on their part. This means you are responsible for enroling in the national schemes and for paying the entirety of your monthly national pension and health insurance premiums. However, if you work thirty hours or more a week, regardless of how many employees, your employer must enrol you in the employer social insurance plan in which they pay half your pension and health insurance premiums. These company pension and health insurance schemes usually have much better benefits and…
