Antiwork

So just as the description states- Wednesday I got an email that I had an employee action and it describes that I will no longer earn any personal leave. I also looked at my last pay check and they have taken away the personal leave I earned this pay period. Is this legal? What can I do? Other coworkers got the same email, no prior conversation or email about this occurring. The effective date is the date of our hires. There are other coworkers who this didn’t happen to.

I feel like ppl gotta be less quick to consistently say someone’s best option when their company’s being a dick to them is to quit. In a better world where there were actual supports for the unemployed I’d def agree, but it just comes across as tone-deaf considering it’s often not easy to get another job and people often need the stability even if the job itself is shit. It’s just strange how many people seem to be under the impression that’s a reasonable option to most people stuck in shitty jobs considering the reason people tend to be in those jobs in the first place is because of lack of other options…

I've decided to grow my own food to save money and I had no idea until recently this is what people did in the great depression due to such terrible wages etc.

I get burnt out in jobs because I need to be creative to be happy. I make cool stuff in my spare time for my friends and family and never get tired of it. How do I create a business out of it ? I hate going to work and not being with my kids more than anything.

I love working and having money and feeding my family and not starving i love going to work every day and coming back with a bag full'o wonderful food that will keep me full!!!!

So I’m in kind of a weird situation, I was hired at a company in May of this year and was under the pretense that I was applying and interviewing for a technician I role. All documentation that was signed at the date of hire was listed as a technician I role, however my boss recently pulled me aside and let me know that “they accidentally meant to hire me as a technician II instead of a tech I”. In a document given to me a few days ago, it states that “your pay rate at this time will not be impacted as you were brought in at the tech II rate upon hire”. My concern with this is that I negotiated with them to get a higher starting hourly rate when I was hired for the tech I role. The justification that I was given a tech II starting…

My company creates an event for this time of year, every year. We try making it bigger and better every year but last year, and this, when we opened a couple weeks ago, it fell apart. We didn't finish it on time, with staff working 9 days plus, some of them 12 or more hours a day to get it finished although we didn't. Complaint after complaint from customers and all address at the staff managers just walked off. Unfinished buildings, with tools left around and construction equipment left around, wet paint, damaged flooring, out of date food and drink, untrained staff and false advertising. War site in parking lot and gardens. And all of this could have been avoided. We know we do it yearly we could start in spring but don't. No plans made up and distributed, just single tasks given by management and then you have to…
