What a lovely Christmas bonus! That's sure gonna help them make rent!
Though this EMPTY BAG meant for you to use to GIVE GIFTS TO OTHERS at work is a far worse holiday "gift."
This workplace literally wanted you to PAY to wear comfier clothes.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but we're all working because we need money to survive, yes?
And yet the reason millennials can't afford a house is avocado toast
I don't know about y'all, but I have never trusted any checkout charity collection. I'm not giving a multimillion dollar company MORE money, then just trusting they give it all to people in need, without collecting any tax benefit for themselves.
This person was asked to come to a "cleaning party" at work with two hours notice, and got fired when they couldn't go.
This manager approved PTO then went ahead and scheduled the person anyways.
Clearly, some bosses reallyyyy don't understand the concept of PTO.
This workplace expected you to be unemployed before even interviewing for another job, because it makes total sense to completely give up your income on the off chance you may get this other job.
Look, I get that starting salary is sometimes a negotiation, but this person gave a clear range, and this recruiter's basically suggesting they could manipulate her into taking less.
This company basically told a (former) employee if they keep expecting their workplace to follow the law and pay people for work, nowhere else will hire them.
This boss also conveniently "forgot" the law.
And this one said "it's not illegal" not to pay an employee.
This person was fired after asking for a raise, which is definitely 100% unconnected!
This boss demanded an employee come in on their off day, and then — when the employee said they couldn't — insulted them.
This list of rules made it seem a lot less like a workplace and a lot more like military school.
This workplace had appearance and age requirements, which is definitely illegal.
This poor employee tried to take some food that was being thrown out because he was struggling to afford food and got chewed out by his manager, and it's giving dystopia.
This workplace considered charging your phone while at work "theft of electricity."
This boss tried to schedule their employee last-minute for a weekend shift because THEY didn't want to work, claiming the employee had the "last few weekends off." But according to OP, it "was ONE weekend, which was LAST weekend for my daughter's birthday! I worked Thanksgiving, the day after, that Saturday, AND my birthday. I’ve worked almost every weekend since September."
This workplace charged people to use the microwave in the break room.
And this workplace charged employees for coffee.
This employer gave out candy for a special occasion...and then threatened employees who might dare to take more than a single fun-size piece. Because nothing says employee appreciation like increased surveillance!
This workplace took screenshots every 10 minutes and counted mouse clicks to make sure employees are working all day.
This workplace asked other employees to donate PTO to a hospitalized worker instead of just giving them more PTO.
This workplace asked workers injured on the job *not* to go to the hospital, which is definitely illegal.
This workplace gave employees a single mint for generating an extra $6 million in sales.

same thought here
As a German it feels like looking in a theater, where a 3rd world country is played
- without human rights (especially for employees)
- without a minimum wage, that's enough for a living
- without free healthcare
- without working time limitations (I don't think, there is an English word for "Arbeitszeitschutzgesetz")
we had this discussion already some days ago about Walmart failing in Germany :-)
first of all, I'm comparing the German healthcare to the so called US Americam healthcare
Of course, I pay a monthly fee . like everybody has to.
But because everybody pays it, it's only a small and affordable amount.
And well, I could go to any doctor now, if I don't like his opinion, I could go to another specialist too. And if I want (or must), I could go to the hospital (If I can't go anymore, a ambulance would be free too) so, the measures are all free, what don't you like about it?
well, the fee is BEFORE taxes.
The taxes are automatically reduced exactly with the fee's amount.
So, If anyone would manage somehow to boykott this fee, he would pay the same amount in taxes. That is in fact the definition of free
And no, such a system is not called communism, but community
It’s unbelievable! I hire people here in the UK and there’s no way we could get away with this! We have minimum wage and many other rules to protect workers rights.
#58 Is this how "free" healthcare works?
