Expand protected Parental Leave policy – ready to send letter

Hello Antiwork! This community cares about Parental Leave policies among many other things. The situation isn’t great right now, and something needs to change. One way to affect change is to let those in power know that we care about the issue of severely lacking Parental Leave policies, and an easy way to let them know is to send a letter to elected officials at all levels of government. The link in this post is to a ‘ready-to-send’ letter to our Elected Officials, to let them know that we care about expanding protected Parental Leave, and that things need to change! Use the letter to email or mail to your elected officials at any and all levels of government. Feel free to copy the letter and edit as you see fit to suit your own needs. Please share and further distribute the letter to others that also care about this…

Quit after my third day.. tl:Dr at bottom

Sorry for formatting, I'm on mobile. So to start, I left my previous job that was a 40 minute commute, purely because I didn't want those miles on my car, and I found something closer to home, and paid slightly more. We agreed starting Sunday (this just passed Sunday) I would work 11am to 7pm, then Monday and Tuesday would be 3pm to 10pm No issues. I get there and they said it was supposed to be 7am to 3pm. (This was for training. Mind you they hired me for 2nd shift.) They said it was fine. The next day I show up at 3, they said it was supposed to be 11-7 because ???. The next day, they didn't tell me about the change again, I arrived at 3, they told me it was 11-7… Now the worst part, because of their fuck ups, today I was supposed to…

Do ceos even care that they are hemorrhaging employees ?

I work at a large financial firm and we are losing many many people who have been here for years- including myself and the ceo/executives don’t bat an eye. Are these people blind or delusional? Or just stupid?

This is a serving job. They are so desperate for work that they are offering $10 an hour plus tips when the server minimum wage in my state is $6.38. More about how much they suck in the comments

Anyone else love doing the 70 questions test just to end up not getting the job even tho you’re more than qualified?

Seriously getting tired of it. Whats the point of a degree and experience if even that won’t get you the job. I’m gonna go steal

how do I refuse pitching in for boss holiday gift at small company

I work at a doctor's office that employs 5 people including myself. Every year we all pitch in to get boss a giftcard to go out to a very nice dinner with their spouse who is also a doctor and does very well. Usually about $20-30 per person is expected. I'm fed up with the job, my insufferable multi-millionaire boss, and getting underpaid. I don't want to contribute. How do I refuse without ruffling feathers of other people in the office? I know I'm going to get push back if I say it's not in my budget.

I thought we ended segregation?

I work for a large company. In the general slack channel, they post about things. I've seen they have a African American group, they do events, have a support group, and all that. Today I saw they have an Hispanic one. Same thing. I'm just confused on why we don't have a Caucasian group? Every other race is allowed to have these inclusive groups. I wanna say something as I believe this is racism. Whites don't have the same resources as everyone else. I'm afraid I'll get fired for being racist if I call out that these groups are in fact racist. I just don't understand how a company can have separate events for people of a specific ethnicity.
