#unpaid wages

Always remember

[indizombie]

No labour budget has been approved for West Bengal for 2023-24 under MGNREGS, keeping workers in a state of constant worry about their survival. Many have not received their wages due from 2021. Some have joined ongoing protests in New Delhi that began in February 2023, demanding their dues and rights for guaranteed work. MGNREGS, introduced in 2005, has served as a lifeline for rural workers whose livelihood entirely depend on it. Those registered can demand up to 100 days’ work with an average income of Rs 213 daily. The lack of funds have resulted in a food crisis for many in the state.

i hate that finding a good job this day always requires networking. what about us antisocial bitches that say more words to an npc than to a human in a day. i really should be able to get a decent job with skills alone, not through someone i happen to know, because i don’t know that many people.

After creating a 6 minute long educational video for my work unpaid and googling that the rates to get these made run anywhere from $800 per minute to $3000 per minute I might be feeling a little salty. So I made this.

[ICE CREAM] Frozen custard and the baking rays of the sun were not a great combination, to say the least. Freminet certainly wasn't expecting to camp by the ice chests filled with tubs of the dessert, using his Cryo powers to give them a shock every so often so they'd stay at just the right temperature and texture - cold enough to stay frozen and refreshing, but not so much so that it hurt to eat. Appointing himself as guardian of the ice creams quickly led to the misunderstanding that he was the designated ice cream server, which he definitely was not... but he also wasn't going to deny the duty, was he? "O-Oh, um," he muttered as another patron approached him and the coolers. Not again. "There's vanilla, chocolate... Some kind of berry flavor..." He trailed off, tugging on the brim of his sun hat in an attempt to hide his quickly flushing face, gesturing vaguely to the boxes of sugar and waffle cones on the side as well, avoiding eye contact all the while.

Ego thrums thoughtful fingers along the little stand's counter, surveying her options with a merry hum. She offers the boy opposite her-- the attendant, evidently-- a smile, though she's not entirely sure he notices. Poor kid, probably stuck in some low paying summer job when he'd rather be out splashing in the water.

No matter.

"What's your favorite?" Songlike, a harmless question, but she does not wait for its answer. "I'll have whatever it is, kay? Oh! And one for you, too. On me~"

Quick and easy and utterly foolproof: she gets an answer without him having to say it to her, and she may just earn a smile back! And if not, well, at least she tried.

In exchange, of course, she offers him what is certainly more than an adequate number of coins (not that she counted, that was someone else's problem.) "Oh, and you can keep the change ♪"

Can’t afford my gender affirming beers so I guess I have to start smoking the eight I bought like 6 months ago before I promptly stopped smoking

a share of the revenue.

record profits are unpaid wages

[sablespiders]

this field is pretty much one of the only ones i could ever see myself working in longterm but oh my god i’m working six days straight this week and yesterday i got called in so i didn’t get back until 11pm

and this is actually a shockingly cushy job for the industry 😭😭 because the reason it’s six days in a row instead of 12 is because i get tuesdays guaranteed off which is NOT the norm

[thegonest]

shit sucks ass but we gotta keep goin’ i guess

It’s amazing how much a hostile work environment can make you feel like you aren’t human.

In other news, I found out just how soulless management is on Monday.

Maybe that’s why I don’t feel human - management is trying to turn me into whatever the hell they are.
