Gave 2 Weeks Notice and Told To Leave

So I joined a company and even before taking the job, I had a bad feeling about it but at the time I couldn’t find a job close by or one that would allow me to work from home and this one was both so I took it. Well I started noticing illegal things that no one seemed to care about like not withholding taxes on bonus checks, and not remitting employee’s 401k withholdings, and etc. It ate at me and everyone told me to just walk out but I didn’t. I felt bad walking out even knowing it was a sinking ship. Plus I also found out that my boss is on a federal government watchlist and went to jail in the past for being a shady accountant. Now they are being audited by the IRS due to back taxes never paid and this is a huge concern since…

I'm a 30something yr old sub. K to 8. I work both public and catholic. I love it as it fits my busy workout schedule and keeps me busy. I have my MA but can't find a steady job in my field so I chose to sub. Anyhow. I have been working for 6 years as a sub and have Never been “dresscoded” if anything, teachers and students alike find my avant garde style fun and “cool”.

The history of hourly pay vs salary (US)?

Can anyone provide some good resources for learning more about this? I see time and time again about salary people having to work overtime but being “exempt” from overtime pay (and have experienced it), and I’ve had a variety of salaried and hourly jobs. Can someone please link some resources about the history of this in the US? A lot of what google comes up with is obviously SEO’d to the max

I’ve let work define my worth

I work at a small pet food store in Canada. I accepted the job offer from my mother after they were suffering from sudden understaffing (worker got sick, another switched to part time for school and later quit) and so they needed a temp worker while things worked themselves out. I felt responsible since with only 2 workers available, my mother had no days off, and people wouldn't shut up about how my non-existent job hunt was going anyway, so I went. After the other person quit I basically went from temp to full time employee in a field I very much don't understand or care about and every day off had just been dreading every hour that brings me closer to going back. But as much as I want to quit, an intrusive thought keeps entering my head. “If you quit then you're a weak freeloader who'll end up…

Need help (TX)

Hello everyone I need help to report this job when I leave. I just started this job three weeks ago and it is one of the most unethical places I've ever worked at. I applied to this job for a different position working in x-rays. These people own clinics and research facilities. I applied to the clinic portion and the boss told me that his research department would better suit me and I would be working on research dealing with x-rays. Long story short ​ I am not working in x-rays and they tried to get me to sign a three-year contract (i did not) I worked from 730 til 6 and on my check, they put I only work 8-5 No one gets lunch they must work and eat when we are dealing with patients and we still get an hour deducted. I was told for a freeze we…
