It’s human nature. Everyone wants to feel important. In his book “How to Win Friends and Influence People,” Dale Carnegie wrote that feeling important was a most fundamental human need. . Ok, interesting. But what does that have to do with YOU? . In a lawsuit, we can use this human instinct to YOUR advantage. I dont have to force an admission from your Boss or HR. .

45,000 workers across 36 US Ports went on strike at 12:01 AM today. Some analysts say this will cost the U.S. economy $5 billion every day the employers refuse to offer a fair deal. . Make no mistake—the GREED of maritime shipping companies is the root cause of this strike. But there are other factors, such as rising automation, that caused the strike to happen NOW. . There are rumors that the union president Harold Daggett times the strike to make the Biden-Harris admin look bad ahead of the election. There’s no hard evidence of this, but it is TRUE that Biden has the power to stop the strike through a rarely used presidential power authorized by the Taft Hartley Act. .

Office Space is a cult classic comedy about life in corporate America.

This is a policy I’ve seen pop up a few times. Not just once. Whats super weird is the number is very consistent—villagers usually charge between $200 and $300 for quitting without notice. . This is almost never legal. Idk where bosses got this idea. Maybe there’s some rogue HR blog out there suggesting it. Either way, it’s NOT legal. It’s wage theft! . . . #business #workingclass #money #financialliteracy #knowyourworth #selfimprovement #selfhelp

This is a scam I’ve seen MANY employers pull. You can’t pay rent with gift cards, so why on earth would you work for gift cards? . You want CASH. You want it on a PAYCHECK. You want a WAGE STATEMENT clearly showing all hours worked and the rate of pay for those hours. . That’s how a job is supposed to work. . . . #money #financialliteracy #workingclass #business
There’s a reason employers offer you the chance to resign instead of being fired. And it’s not always because they’re looking out for you. . Sometimes, they’re trying to pull a slick move.

Why do companies give such VAGUE criticism in a write up? Often, it's because they don't actually care about your performance. They just need a cover for when they fire you. Giving too much specific feedback runs the risk that you'll actually improve. And that's not what they want. This is educational content for discussion and information only. It's not legal advice. #work #selfhelp #selfimprovement #mastery #selfesteem #business
Boeing is in serious trouble… 33,000 factory workers are still on strike. It’s facing serious production challenges and delays. It’s lost $5 billion dollars in a month, and it’s cut 17,000 jobs.

Will Boeing be able to pull out of this tailspin? . . . . #stockmarket #stocknews #workingclass #union #unionstrong #business #businessnews #financialeducation #selfhelp #boeing
