My office received this today. We were told based on state average and our job descriptions we couldn’t have pay increases last week. Yeah I feel so appreciated. Oh and it’s for the whole office, not per person. And they taste awful.

Boss is trying to have us work during a hurricane

My boss is going to schedule all of us to work during hurricane Ian, not knowing how the hurricane will affect the building. This is a car wash. There will be no customers coming in, there is no reason to be open. Yet they want to gamble on someone elses safety. They can schedule me and call me all they want, im not coming in.

Illegal to increase pay over 10% of current?

So, obligatory “Not my monkey, not my circus” situation here. ​ While on the phone with my son just now, he confided in me that his coworker was told that it is illegal to receive an increase of pay of more than 10% of current pay. Not that it's part of company policy, but that it would get them (the employer) in hot water with the state department of labor. Not that I think this is anywhere near accurate, but I figured I'd ask about it. For reference: In Nebraska, USA

Do you think it’s okay for someone who is sick to be around food?

I have a really really bad cough, congestion, and an extremely runny nose. I let my manager know and she said I still need to come in. I understand I can wear a mask (and I will) but personally I wouldn’t want someone this sick around my food. I also told her I had a fever of 100 too but she said it’s not high enough to miss work for. And just as an fyi I also took a covid test and it’s negative. I’m just wondering what everyone thinks about this?

Should I let them know before that I’ll quit or just quit at all?

Scenario: I'm currently living on country Y and I'll move to country X in two months. I'm currently working remotely for a company that's located in country A, they pay me in my currently currency and it's not worth to keep working with them when I'm out of my country at all. They're not whiling to high my salary or pay me in dollars anyway. The company is not good, it was in the beginning but they started acting like super assholes, delaying ppl payment in the last 3 months and some other things. I don't have rights, they hired me in a way that they don't pay me any rights and they also don't pay taxes by doing this. I know that i agreed but I needed the money to survive anyway. My thing is, I'll probably move in the beginning of the month, but i won't be able…

I refused a raise and I could not be happier.

So I work in higher education as a financial aid advisor. Not my intended career path, but I somehow just fell into it. The job I just left I had been working there for a little over a year. When I first got the job, I was super excited. It paid 10k more than my old job and I got to do more independent work and at my own pace. However, as the months went on, more and more people started leaving. It started with the Director who had initially hired me. He left about 2 months after I started. The assistant director quickly took his place. Then, we had the Director of Admissions leave, then 2 more admissions advisors. I still didn't see any red flags since I as making more money than I ever had in any other job. Things started to get noticeably bad when our Assistant…
