I’ve observed people in workplaces angry about their hourly wages, yet not wanting subsidies from the gov’t. They resort to treating others terribly.

How are people going to have enough savings to flee from floods and fires as climate change becomes more rapid?

This happened a bit ago.

I was at this work place for a month. It had a very high turn over rate and at first I wasn't sure why. Turns out the manager wasn't that bright. She would tell you what you are doing wrong right in front of the customers. Let minors work alone in the store. One shift I came in to it was all minors no managers. Well one day this manager was working with a new person and the new person had enough of her and walked out in the middle of a shift leaveing the manager with a long line of people. The next day they beg her to come back and let her work agian. A week later my car breaks down and I let them know. They says okay and everything seems fine. I return to work my next shift and find out I am completely written off…

can anyone afford recovery time anymore??

My wife and I own a small apartment building. It's about 100 years old and needed some maintenance. We called our (temporary) maintenance team and they came out to do repairs. (FIL hired some contractors to help with maintenance as we had just purchased the property. He hired them as a move in gift). It's two older men, one working as a “boss” the other is his “helper” in their workplace hierarchy. IDK what their positions are it's just their vibe. The “helper” is a dick. We live in our apartment building and day 1 of repairs he was commenting on how messy our unit was (we just moved in bro. I haven't even unpacked. Suck my dick.). Day 2 he was MIA. Whatever I don't have to deal with him. Day 3 “helper” is back to do more repairs. He looks like dog shit. He comments on my wife's…

I work in a state government agency. It’s the most miserable, toxic environment I’ve ever experienced, and now I’m being required to double-track how I’m spending all of my time in detail

Ok, so I posted about this in another subreddit but ended up deleting it because I work in government and I was afraid of getting fired. This post is about the imposition of yet another misery being forced on us right now, but I need to give the background first: I work in a state government agency running programs and helping with a huge variety of other projects/tasks on an ad hoc basis. The Secretary of our agency is horrible. Infamously horrible. I have about 13 years of professional experience in the nonprofit and public sectors and this is far and away the most toxic work environment I've ever experienced. It's an open secret among staff that we all fear/despise the Secretary of our Agency. Not only are they incompetent and force all of us to waste our time on unproductive tasks that go nowhere and are obviously bad ideas…

The job is just quit posted this. I was acting manager for a month while the actual manager was on vacation and wasn’t compensated at ALL for it, and treated terribly during that time, so I quit.

The new starting pay is 25 cents MORE than what I was about to make as a permanent lead position. What the fuck?

The time I went on a field trip to a funeral

When I was in the seventh or eighth grade (this was like 20+ years ago), I attended Catholic school and my religion teacher's husband had passed away during the school year. When she requested time off for the funeral, the school denied her request. I guess the school didn't even offer those typical three days off for a death in the family like most employers do. So the day of the service (during the work/school week), she loaded the class into a bus and took us on an impromptu “field trip” to her own husband's funeral. We all sat in the last pew in the church and felt awkward as hell because every single person in the family looked at us and wondered why there was a dozen schoolchildren in the back of the church. On one hand, I thought it was pretty badass that she essentially kidnapped us so…

I had a counselor describe me as hostile. How am I supposed to feel about an economic culture that has systematically oppressed people?

Younger generations have had to compete in an environment of e-commerce, rising costs, uncertainties, workplace unknowns, confusion, and no guarantees.
