I feel like there are enough people on this sub working for shitty exploitative companies to start a ground up worker co-op at least in the USA, something that wouldn’t matter what state you were in, working remote or otherwise, something that could really lead a wave of new employee shared businesses to show the world how good we could have it. Am I crazy or could something like that work with this community?
I'm required to work new years and Christmas (emergency maintenance guy for like 1500 units I understand the need and signed up for the job not real a complaint by me) but since new years and Christmas fall on a weekend they are observing it Monday so I'm not getting paid holiday pay? (Sounds illegal) on top of this the two Mondays that are “holidays” are technically my shift being the emergency guy were given to other people fuck this place. Please tell me this isn't legal I'm in America more specifically Rhode island if anyone knows anything
It's gotta be one of the more disgusting things I've seen from corporate entities lately: the passing on of the credit card 4% fee to all of us. If you're business can't pay its workers it shouldn't exist. Don't pass on Visa and MasterCard fees to us. Fuck you.
I work for a security company where it's in the handbook that we get holiday pay and on top of that he posted it on the company message board. The shift I'm working he says is only for supervisors because the client hasn't paid yet. Wtf does that have to do with me?!
The head manager was going to raise my pay two whole quarters to keep me from quitting but after coming home with tears in my eyes for the umpteenth time, I decided going from $11 to $11.50 an hour wasn't worth my mental health. It also turns out that the manager who I thought doesn't like me, actually likes me; she just believes in “tough love” so she just doesn't validate my work or even thanks me at the end of the shift, leading me to think what I thought.
