I haven’t gotten paid and it’s demoralizing

I started working at KFC about 2 weeks ago (well 5 weeks ago they called me in for actual work way later) and they still haven't paid me yet, neither is the manager responding to the texts, neither did I get their rostering application, the manager used to text me the shifts. Should I quit? If I quit they still have to pay me right?

What does this mean?

What does “it would be too high equity” mean in HR? I was asked by my previous manager what it would take to bring me back. I set my salary expectation as $67K, which HR offered me a lowball salary of $61K. I told HR I won’t return for anything less than $67K. I received a call from HR that they cannot offer me my salary expectation as it would be too high equity for them, so they are moving on with another candidate.

Negotiating a raise soon, I think i need help

Recently found out that I may be getting a raise of 5%~ what are some good points to negotiate a raise thats higher? I reside in CA. It's Remote. It's tech. I'm tech support.

A bit of a vent—I’m feeling so defeated

I work as part of the management team of a popular cosmetics company. I am an artist and therefore freelance and take as many jobs in the industry I want to be in as possible. I was hired on with them knowing this. So if I book a job, it hasn’t been an issue in the past. We have a new manager who is extremely by the book and policy-driven. I booked time off for next month (three separate dates) due to jobs I’ve booked. He is now telling me I have to pick and choose as there are only two requests per month, so says policy. I didn’t go to school to be stuck in a retail job that’s making me choose between building my own business and career and a shift at the mall. There are other things that have happened/changed since he’s been hired on, and my…

Video by yt channel The Canvas: ‘No, Ai “Art” is not Art.’

Not sure if this vid has already been posted, but just in case it hasn't it I thought it would be worth sharing on this sub since it discusses many relevant ideas. One point that really struck me is at 7min 30sec, that the threat that AI represents only exists because of the profit motive. “Reproduce it, repackage it, and resell it.” This of course ties in to how automation has affected work as a whole under capitalism, becoming just another tool for exploitation and profit rather than the revolutionary innovation, dreamed of in scifi, that would free society from meaningless, unfulfilling menial labour. The solution, of ditching capitalism, seems just as simple as it seems impossible. But we can still dream, right? Anyways here's the link: https://youtu.be/ESZO-XJZr0s
