Commissioned for 5k in work and the guy refuses to pay!

I finished this project three months ago and spent about two weeks of my time working on this project. All I can say is that I’m considering legal action but am unsure if I can afford the legal fees. The Founder has stalled constantly and refuses to do anything. What should I do?

How do you envision an ideal society without work?

When I think of my ideal society I, like I think many others here (but I know not all), envision one with work but in a way that is just much, much differently structured than it currently is. Obviously I don’t have the “right answers” and it’s no one person’s job to have them, but I’d just like to brainstorm here. The memes are nice but productive discussion is nice too 🙂 The way I see it, shit needs to get done (food needs to be grown, things need to be built though obviously like at 1% of the rate we’re currently building besides maybe housing), kids need to be taken care of, medical needs addressed. But there are tons of jobs out there that don’t need to exist, so if we wound it down to only the necessary jobs, maybe we’d each work 5-10 hours a week. Maybe everyone’s…

Won’t offer AC/heat because boomer landlord automatically thinks you can’t afford it. This is literally down the road from me.

Boss won’t do anything about terrible coworker

Mods feel free to take this down if it’s not allowed. I’ve been at this job for 4 months, and for pretty much the whole time a coworker who has been there for barely longer than I have has been absolutely loathsome to me. Due to circumstances beyond my control, I’ve had to have a lot of jobs, and she uses this as an excuse to treat me horribly because “if she doesn’t like it she can just quit”. She’s condescending, rude, and immature. She treats me like I’m stupid and everything I do is done wrong in her opinion. I’ve even gone so far as to ask my boss if I’m doing something wrong because of how she treats me, and gotten confirmation from my boss that there haven’t been any complaints/I’m not doing anything wrong. Every time I try to do something, whether it’s stock shelves or check…

There are more temp jobs at corporate level lately

Been seeing A LOT of supply chain manager jobs offering a 4-6 month contract. I am strictly looking at remote jobs. I thought to myself, “well maybe they want you to work and make sure you can do a good job from home, and then they will sign you”…. Then I interviewed for one of these shitty jobs. I found out they want you to work with literally base salary pay, but they are not going to give you benefits, or insurance. They say that comes after the 6 month contract is completed and they decided to go forward with an offer. SO THEY ARE NOW NOT EVEN OFFERING BENEFITS! Its getting out of hand, and i have already decided im taking 2-3 jobs at 1 time if they are going to play this damn game. Anyone been seeing this lately? This is strictly at the corporate level.

Is this normal? What can I do?

So I (25) wanna start by saying I don’t live in the US but I do work remotely for an American company. I am being paid 12/hour. That is a GOOD salary for me. The issue is that my boss is pressuring me to complete a job I am not qualified nor trained for, it is not my field of expertise and I have mentioned several times that I have limitations and don’t feel comfortable with the task. So I do multiple jobs and get paid just for one. I don’t get health benefits, PTO, vacations, nor sick leave. I don’t get paid differently for the extra hours I put in (they pay me the same 12/hr). Lately I’ve been working 44+ hours a week. They require an email at the end of the day detailing each task done and it feels like micromanaging. I am very stressed out and…

Walmart Drivers Quit

I live near Knoxville, TN and all of the drivers at my local Walmart who are suppose to be doing deliveries to customers have all quit. And they are having problems trying to find replacements.
