“The schedule we could sort out later . But for your awareness we need more in swing shift instead of morning”
I’ve got a job offer from a company with a $1500 sign on bonus. I know usually there’s some insane stipulation, IE after six months of no call outs or only if they like your work or whatever. But I just have a nasty feeling about why they’d offer the sign on bonus if the job itself doesn’t sound that terrible.
“The unemployment rate might have to rise to 4.5%—and stay there a while—before the central bank declares victory.” If you're a worker, the government is not your friend. https://www.yahoo.com/finance/m/a1318e83-d4ab-326d-96fc-da5571946fea/why-the-fed-must-cause-more.html
I work at a place, let’s call it, where the owners kid is taking over as manager. It has been a struggle so far, but the most notable thing came to my attention today. My coworker has worked there for over 13 years, and has always had a five day schedule. Well, come to find out, they’re cutting his days down to three for the off season. And the new manager told him in a text. No conversation. Just a text. If an employee of over a decade can lose their scheduled days just like that, it’s clear this is no longer a company that values it’s employees. That was the final straw (along with paying me less than new hires, who do immensely less work and a crappier job than me). I’m officially applying for other jobs. This is so disheartening. It’s actually breaking my heart but I can’t…
'“I don’t think you’ll just see half of the workforce disappear, but you’ll see a good percentage, and we can’t afford for anybody to leave because we’re so undermanned as it is,” said Hugh Sawyer, an Atlanta-based engineer at Norfolk Southern.' 'Workers say that some employees could leave as soon as they receive back pay and cash bonuses, which will average roughly $16,000 per person. Railroads will dole out that money within 60 days.' https://www.yahoo.com/news/no-paid-sick-leave-could-110000705.html
i’n lgbt and i’ve been looking for work for months. part of me thinks maybe going stealth and working abroad may help. i don’t have my degree yet but considering the socio-political climate i think getting out of the states asap will be good since i could be hurt if i’m outed while looking for work where i am. sorry, idk if this is even gonna help anything, i just want to feel like i’m not trapped.

Kroger COVID Pay
So I worked for Kroger (Ralphs) for a few months, absolutely hated it, and just became a no-show towards the end of October. Before that, while I was still working there I caught COVID and was supposed to receive sick pay for the time that I was missing. I never received the sick pay, should I contact the union?
During the pandemic these asshole corporations and the government allowed us peasants to work from home so that they don’t lose out on profits. And these guys tripled their profits while we worked at home. Now that the pandemic is gone, they want us back in the office. Like why? We have proved that we can still work and be product at home. So they just want to control our lives. Basically they are saying – fuck you, fuck your needs and wants. All of us should stay strong and resist. Unless you want to work from the office or need to, there is no need for us to go back into the office.
