I work in manufacturing. Today at a meeting, my manager asked if there were any concerns. I said it would be nice to have more chairs available because there aren’t enough to go around. She said “[your station] isn’t a sitting station.” Bullshit. It is 100% possible to sit at my station and it doesn’t even slow you down. Granted you do have to stand for some of it, but a big part of it is documentation, so while I’m waiting for my machine to process a batch, I’ll sit to write stuff down. The 30 second break from standing does wonders for my feet. Absolutely zero productivity is lost from this as I am waiting on the machine anyhow. Anyone that’s worked this station for more than a day would know this. This is true for most other stations as well, and paperwork is a part of nearly everyone’s…

he’s a nice guy
Some employers are trying to avoid the requirement that insurance plans cover contraception, HIV prevention drugs, drug addiction counseling, and STD screening because they believe these treatments encourage homosexuality, sexual promiscuity, and drug abuse, which somehow is a violation of the employer’s religious beliefs, and a judge in Texas has sided with them. Gotta love having to rely on shitty low-paying jobs to be able to afford healthcare and still being at the mercy of the employers’ religious beliefs! /s SOURCE: https://www.npr.org/2022/09/08/1121690478/a-texas-judge-rules-coverage-of-anti-hiv-medicine-violates-religious-freedom

Making staff go back into the office
Why are companies so obsessed with getting people back into the office when we can work effectively from home remotely? Is it control? And what’s the obsession with surveillance software on work PCs?
I feel like I see a lot of people on here recommending others to sue. I’m curious if anyone has sued or reported a former employer and won. Share your stories
I got an entry level job here in warehouse labor, at $16.60/ hour, full time, but I have 16 mandatory overtime hours every week, with 1.5 overtime pay. I make $6k a month, and around $72k a year. I know the economic climate has been changing rPlapudly lately and I wanted to get opinions on whether or not this is something to stick with until I get my commercial pilot license and start making ~$108k a year as an airline pilot. Idk if relevant, but I don't plan on a degree in college. We have full benefits.

HR wants me to activate screenshots
It's only been week 3 at this job and I've already had it. I work from home and prior to joining, the company failed to mention they use Time Doctor to track hours. Note: I'm being paid a monthly rate not an hourly rate. Now they want me to give them access to screenshots and I made up some excuse about the settings being enabled and not working. The HR woman kinda fell for it and is asking me to email the support at Time Doctor. Is there any way around this whole fiasco? It's one thing to track every single minute of every single day but screenshots? Come on man. I don't see a way around other than quitting after the first month but I also really need an income. I'm good at what I do, just want to do it a little bit on my own terms, if…
Forgive me if i sound stupid or insensitive, i just want to educate myself, i just cant seem to understand why do people have to spend money on tips if the waiter doesnt even get all the tip and if the company could be paying them ALL of their paycheck themselves
