One of my pet peeves.
i didn’t go to work today, i work at a daycare and the reason i didn’t go in is because i’ve unexpectedly had to go in 2 1/2 hours early this week, i’ve slept maybe 10 hours all week, the kids have been horrible and i didn’t have the strength to deal with them. so what are some better excuses? that i can get in trouble for 🙂
To whom it may concern, I am a Canadian citizen residing in central Canada and I am being forced to apply for 3 to 5 jobs a day to continue to be eligible for Manitoba provincial income assistance by a private organization known as Opportunities for employment or OFE or more colorfully known as Opportunities for Evil. This organization entraps citizens into forced servitude regardless of physical and professional capacity to be employed providing services for employment positions or opportunities. I’m a type 2 diabetic and my feet are literally swollen from sitting at a desk trying to search online for reasonable employment positions and write resume revisions and apply for those jobs. In 2021 I was forced by OFE to accept employment at covid hot zone infected old age health care facilities while possessing zero experience or proficiency with providing responsible health care, by accepting employment from an OFE…

Things not to be, in the United States:
Unemployed. Poor. Homeless. Black. Female. Disabled. If you're any of ^ those things (or god forbid multiple), the US system is designed to shit all over you. What else should you not be, in the US?
i recently transferred to a different business within the same company. one was 4 days and the one i transferred to is 5 days only, however they both have the same salary. not to mention 10 hour days so im basically working for 10 free hours. because of my transfer, i had about a month ahead of planned things for my day off that ive recently had to use all my pto for. which means when i got food poisoning, i didnt have any pto to use so i just had to call out. i like my job for the most part if you dont count the 10 free hours or making 1 day worth of pto over the course of 3 months. but i really want to request they implement a sick day feature but after having called out a few times i dont know if its something they…

Company not paying holidays
Started with a new company. During interview process they tell me you will have 12 paid holidays off. They then refuse to pay me for July 4th holiday because I hadn’t been there for 90 days. I left the company for many other issues the following week. Is this a common thing? I’ve never come across it?

I hope this is relevant
This is everything I have to say. I’m not sure what I’m supposed to do. The global crisis is worse than we predicted. https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2115231119 Global warming has been modelled on greenhouse events. But our governments are forcing a greenhouse event within a mini ice-age. Consequently, the perturbations we have already instantiated are far more, and utterly, devastating. There was another study published this week on bacteria, which have new generations on minute-to-hour timescales (not decade long timescales like eukaryotes), showing a maximum evolutionary threshold of continued flourishing in no greater than two-degree warming. https://www.science.org/doi/full/10.1126/sciadv.abk3511 The ecosystem will not survive the continued assault. And the ecosystem is a house of cards… society has already pulled out the foundations… When has society ever faced end-stage capitalism with a dying, global ecosystem? And where nothing proportional is being done about it; every country’s electorate are being lied to by politicians who are operating…
*Real Median Family Income FRED *has doubled from 1960 – 2020. *Real GDP Per Capita* has tripled since 1960. Real Median Household Income Increased just twenty-five percent since 1984, and Real Median Personal Income rose only forty percent since 1974, which is well below The Living Wage. So why, in 2022, is it impossible for a single-income earner to achieve the same standard of living our grandparents had? In most cases, it costs more to sustain oneself than jobs pay, making buying a home or having a child impossible. It is well known that a typical worker in the U.S in 1960 could support a family of Four while the wife stayed home. There is no shortage of first-person accounts of workers earning enough to support an entire family with a 1,000 sqft house and car or two. My Aunt, born in 1950, lived near Central Park in Manhattan on…
Okay so idk if this is the right sub but I thought y'all would appreciate it. My mom and I went up to the mountains and visited some wineries. It was just her and me. We went to this one that was just okay. Wine wasn't very good, and the environment/experience was meh, but beautiful views and they served food when a lot of wineries in the area did not. However, when we got our bill, it was more than we were expecting. We saw an 18% service change on the bottom of the bill. Nowhere on their menu had it mentioned there would be any kind of automatic extra charge. My mom made some kind of surprised comment about the charge [to me] and our server said, “oh yeah, that's a winery service charge not an auto gratuity charge.” The serve took my mom's card and we both just…
