Antiwork

I have a 1-year contract, with hourly pay, they fired the staff, and I am one of them, they informed me 2 days before and told me that I would only receive 1 week's pay. Is this legal under US law or can I claim compensation? Thanks

Throwaway incase of any recognition. I started a new job a few weeks ago, and everything was fine until this week. Sure, it's been stressful and busy, but I was managing fine. And then Tuesday I was pulled into our head of HR's office, door closed, and was proceeded to be told to “mind what I say”, that we need to put on an inclusive front, and then coached about what I would be talking about in my 1:1 with the new VERY top of HR at our sister company. Then yesterday I found out they had gotten wind of someone being harassed by another employee. That employee being harassed (C) did not make the report and saw it as “stupid and not a big deal”. HR bothered C for multiple days to let them go through her personal text messages to build a case. C eventually let them just…

Kinda curious how people view the “quiet quitting”/ “quiet firing” movement. I definitely feel this has been going on way before it's hitting headlines, but the viewpoints seem to be: Either employees are “slacking off” or “focusing on other aspects in their lives”. I used to like my job, but new management stepped in in 2020 and it sucks. They don't communicate well and offer little support to my department. I started noticing my opportunities for promotions were drying up and my yearly review was “accidentally forgotten”. I've been vocal about what needs to change in the workplace, but management asked us workers for feedback. Rather than “be a leader” (i.e. doing extra work without appropiate compensation), I've decided to work what I'm worth for this company. I've found out I make the same as new inexperienced workers while I've been there for five years. I don't go the extra…

Hello friends. My first post here. Not sure this is even the right sub. I am in need of some advice. A “friend” has worked for a company for about four years here in the land of the maple syrup, basically enlsaved, not getting paid a third of what they own him. For immigration reasons he decided to stay enduring the pain. Now he is free of the immigration binds and is thirsty for some vendetta. He is alredy over the fact that he cant legally sue the company and get the 30K they own him,because he was also wrong in accepting to work in such conditions that would go against the beaver laws. However, would any of you know a way to report such a company, that keeps hiring and tricking people from other countries to come and work for them from free here in the beautiful land of…

My apartment lease is up and there are no affordable/safe housing options in my area or the next towns over. My rent is increasing and inflation is really hitting my town. I have a full-time job as a graphic designer and I managed to find a part time job with easy hours and decent starting pay. I told my boss so there won’t be schedule mixups/overtime issues and they flipped out saying I shouldn’t do that because I’ll be too tired and it’ll affect my work there. I told them that I need to make more money to pay my bills and that I wish I didn’t need the second job but what else can I do? I’ve already cut back to bare necessities and other full time jobs are ones I don’t qualify for or they pay less than what I make currently. I shouldn’t be made to feel…

My company already gives below average days off every year, and we are also required to use PTO if we stay home sick. The icing on the cake is most PTO requests get denied as we are short staffed so work wouldn’t get done if people take time off. I shouldn’t be kept from using the time off that I have earned due to the staffing decisions of my employer.
