Antiwork

And now that a “tentative” deal is announced it’s all anyone wants to report. I hope the unions don’t sign and are happily making their picket signs as we speak.

Title is the TLDR WA Essentially my floor lead in specific makes it a point near daily to tell me I need to “make sure” I'm only using the bathroom on my scheduled breaks. Not only is this annoying it interrupts my work when he makes me come to a full stop so I can listen to him tell me again. I'm not going to comply, as in Washington it's against state labor law for him to do this. My.real question is, do I tell him outright that he's breaking the law or do I wait for some kind of punishment so I can just throw it to the labor board?

I thought this would fit here and maybe spark some fire under some people. Me and my fiance just moved into a new house recently where me and her , and her best friend live together to make ends meet. We don't have a car right now and work nearby at a local ma and pa deli because we don't have a car yet. Now I am retired navy CS with alot of mass quantity cooking experience working in this ma and pa deli, where when I got hired I was told how hard work and experience will get you far here yada yada bullcrap. Been here since January and I haven't gotten a raise and I cook all the food for the hot line as well as do 90 % of the deep cleaning around here. Have been highly regarded by customers as an amazing cook and that this…

I work for a municipal government. I have worked for this municipality for about 5 years as a fire inspector and I have asked for a raise. I understand that in government work you typically do not get a raise but there are many reasons why I should get it. I have picked up extra roles outside of the work I was hired to do. These roles are different positions than I currently work and would typically take another employee to be hired to do that work. The work that I do in every capacity, I objectively do extraordinarily well. Of course, there is the fact that anyone should be doing their job as described. I do exactly all of the work that is required of me just as every one of my predecessors have done. What sets me apart is that I do extra tasks and objectives to help…

so i work at chick-fil-a and next month will make 8 months. i’m actually a rehire at my same location because i left last year due to a tension with me and a very liked shift lead and while i told my supervisor, i known for sure 95% it wouldn’t change anything so i left. i left and went to work at my local movie theater and while i loved my job there i’ve decided i wanted to buy my own car and i would barely get scheduled so i left after 5 months. i applied to other places without any luck and while chick-fil-a was my first job i did get a decent pay raise and i got good hours so i bit the bullet and asked the owner of my store could i get my old position back and he surprisingly said yes. not to make this post…

I'm former air force so they asked me for advice before they enlist. I told them that anything I have to say won't be good, and they told me that's what they want, considering all they know is what the recruiter said. So far all I said was to familiarize yourself with what the US Military DOES and HAS DONE around the world before you decide to take part in it. I couldn't think of much else to say to them without getting all worked up thinking about my own service. Anybody have any good points to bring up? I keep just wanting to beg them not to enlist, but really I just want to help them make an informed decision. Thanks

Just simple inflation really… 1.014 ('20) * 1.07 ('21) * 1.083 ('22) has us at 17.5% inflation from 2020-2022 alone. If '23 and '24 are anything like '21 and '22 (and they will be) – inflation over the life of the railroad contract will be significantly higher than 24%. Meaning the 'tentative agreement' reached by leadership and the Biden admin this morning is a pay cut. Classic anti-labor US government negotiation and media spectacle bullshit to highlight the 14% immediate raise, bonuses and backpay to trick everyone into ignoring the pay cut reality of the contract proposed. Hiding behind immediate payouts and bonuses during high-inflation years is a shameful tactic – and no surprise there. Always stay skeptical of advertised 'raises' during high-inflation periods like the one we are in – especially over a 5 year term. Hold strong, scrutinize contracts closely and reject bullshit deals if at all possible.…
