You will need to tread carefully with fragile egos everywhere.

TIL The Nazi rewards program, “Strength Through Joy”, gave workers a shot at prizes like theatre trips, picnics, and cheap travel! It began after Hitler abolished unions, upped the max workweek to 72 hours, and outlawed going on strike, wage bargaining, or leaving work without permission.

quitting with no support?

I'm miserable at my job. I have posted about this before here, but recently my spouse and I have gotten into it over money. I'm confident that I can generate some income to cover some expenses, but generally, I am fine with scaling down our spending dramatically. They do not feel the same. So, now, I feel even more trapped as they want me to have a job lined up before I leave my current role… I am so exhausted by the time I am done with work that I don't have the mental bandwidth to search and when I do look, I just get depressed about the direction my career has taken since I have just adapted to what has been needed. (I am a “Jack of all trades, master of none, often times better than master of one” type.) I have expressed my misery, but rather than come…

Employer making employees sign non-competes which violates Washington state law

I live in Washington state which has a non-compete law which states that's is illegal to make employees or contractors sign a non compete if they make under a certain threshold $107k for employees and $268k for contractors. No one at my company makes anywhere near those amounts. My employer made everyone at the company of around 50 people sign non competes saying they won't work for a competitor or try and poach any employees within 6 months of leaving the company. I wanted to turn them into the State AG reporting site but the site says that any complain made will be a part of the public record and can be seen by anyone, employer included. Is there a good anonymous way to turn them into the AG without my info getting out there?
