Can y'all recommend courses and books where I can learn “how to be employed when I can't trust any employers not to f*ck me over”?
I know it's cliche to say “we should have learned this in high school” but I still need to learn about employee rights, common methods of exploitation, benefits to negotiate beyond base pay, how to calculate minimum base pay based on skillset, etc.
My first part time job in food service I definitely didn't get required breaks, had to clock out before we started the 1-2 hours cleaning process (how did I tolerate that smh), and my paychecks never seemed to add up to how much I thought I'd worked that week.
I have made so many lists from this sub: interviewing red flags, didn't realize that was illegal, negotiate this benefit, email responses, how not to bend over backwards. Very grateful for the information! Just looking for a more streamlined resource.
