Antiwork

Probably not the typical case of having a shitty manager (and boss), but I'm a minor (16) working on the books, and my manager recently called me in (on a day which I'm on-call for granted), had my dad drive me there. Which both my boss and manager are aware that I'm a minor, I do not have independent transportation, and live all the way on the other side of the city. I took the job because it's close to where I go to school, so I figured it'd be painless. After working non-stop for the next 40 or so minutes that they knew were insanely busy, my co-worker taps me and says “[manager] asked for you at [second location], need a cashier there.” To which I'm completely flabbergasted about because again, I JUST got to the first location, so why didn't they just ask for me over there in…

Found this interesting analysis from 2007 (1). It primarily looks at low wage earners with families which is interesting because abortion bans will increase the number of these workers (2). The conclusion seems to me to push the policy maker in favor of the employer. We have the worst healthcare system of high-income nations (3). Increase violence due to increase in inequality in education, healthcare, and wealth (4). Inequality driven by political choices (5). A stressful world leading to radicalization (6). We face a future of increased inequality due to advancements in tech (7). A future where a good portion of US will be unlivable (8). This is just some of what choosing the employer over the people has gotten us. This is the conclusion from the analysis. A substantial share of jobs in the U.S. economy pays low wages. As this paper shows, almost a quarter of all working…

As short as possible, because time is important for you too: I need to start preparing for a new career (Bachelor of International and Diplomatic Sciences) and this may also include a new Bachelor if required by the change. I want to spend less of my personal time on work while still contributing as much as possible to my family's well-being. In this case, I would like to find out which jobs and careers – and which branches of them – which normally offer good remuneration (medic, lawyer, notary, programmer – Let's say I'm aware about this one) can also be done part-time (20-30 working hours per week). Thank you so much!

I work for a large “cool” tech company (blue cloud logo) and we missed payroll orpaid partial wages for mutiple teams Friday and nobody got in touch with us to explain. We figured it out ourselves… Apparently it's a “company wide” issue. My colleagues reached out to HR who told them it was a system error and they're figuring it out. They're not telling us when it's going to be fixed… Not the first suss move from the best place to work, and I'm super annoyed. What would you think?

Has anyone else watched the series on Hulu, The men who built America? Back in the mid /late 1800s, Rockefeller, Carnegie and JP Morgan owned all the wealth, essentially disproving Capitalism. Yet, 150 years later, we are in the exact same place.
