Hello fellow anti workers. As the title says this is for people who have worked in salons (nails, hair, beauty etc) on a self employed basis with an owner who's effectively a romanticized landlord. These owners are almost always insane which I'm sure you'll all have had your respective experiences with. My particular experience includes lying, bullying, manipulation from the manager/boss/landlord. If I try to set any sort of boundaries they are automatically on the defense and will bring up things 'that I have done' to use against me (keeping in mind when these things have happened she's shown full support but will proceed to change her mind and use them against me). She's come in with covid without telling any clients, I'm disabled with a compromised immune system, i asked her to take two LFT's before training with her and she refused and proceeded to get defensive and be…
I've been working at this company selling their cleaning products. While I've been here, I have increased their sales, improved their store. After a few months in, I started having stomach problems, it ended up being an stomach infection, I lost 40 pounds due to this. I took my normal vacations, throughout the year. As well as doctors appointments, some days were difficult and I couldn't go back into work. Normal bosses would understand this, I was on a weekend trip in the last few days, I came back with pink eye. I went to the doctors to check it out and they suggested for me to take the day off to rest my eye since I work with computers. Today I came back to work with my boss reducing my salary to hourly ( same pay he says ) and threats that If i take any more time off…

In addition to their regular working hours, office workers said they spend an extra 67 minutes online each day (5.5 hours a week) simply making sure they’re visibly working online, according to a recent survey from software companies Qatalog and GitLab. Workers everywhere are feeling burnt out by this behavior. In other words, fears about lost productivity could cause lost productivity. https://www.vox.com/recode/2022/9/22/23360887/remote-work-productivity-theater-back-to-office https://preview.redd.it/3l9dav1t7fp91.png?width=1820&format=png&auto=webp&s=990456bf0fc1eaf31631893beb1f4a22055414c7
Our boss didn't even tell us they were pregnant. This morning his boss sent an email to our team that the baby was delivered safely. Our team lead under our boss then emailed us all asking for donations for a gift. How much is appropriate? I get wanting to do that but we've been struggling here. I know he makes probably at least 3x what I do (can't imagine it's much more for our field), and I myself just found out I'm pregnant. Is it wrong to not want to contribute? What's the minimum I can get away with?
A friend of mine from back in the day once told me they were salary but they were making less than $40k a year while working more than 40 hours a week. It got me thinking how many people out there are salary and making less than $20/hour as a result? This seems so wrong and exploitive, I just hope it's not as common as I fear it is.
I work for a pretty liberal company with 5000+ global employees. Here in the US, there's no requirement to come back into the office, just some incentives, catered lunches, updated meeting rooms, things like that. Most folks are coming in one or two days a week at random, it's working out well, letting people balance office/remote work without harsh policies. One of our other regions has a GM that's very “you have to be in the office” and just told his whole region that they had to be in their offices 4 days a week. 14 resignations the very first week and now upper management is panicking. I just don't understand this mentality. They won't countermand the GMs decision, but it's going to cost the company a ton in lost talent and wasted time recruiting.
