#paid-work
Drove 2 hours each way for a 6-hour cost reconciliation meeting, and now have to do a bunch of urgent CA work for another job after the kids go to bed. Unglamorous life of an architect, I don't get paid enough for this

He wants three day work weeks. But paid as three days not 5. He thinks we have the IQ of a gnat

Forbes: Vance's probe is on employees on a J-1 visa, which can include graduate students, who work as research assistants. It's always people paid BY the university rather than giving money TO the university.

Vance claims - with no details - that J-1 foreigners are paid less than US PhD students.
Trump Administration Investigating Nine Universities For J-1 Visa Fraud

Do we still get paid the same as a 5 day work week?

Trump buys $25 MILLION in SpaceX stock. Two days later, Trump signed off on another government contract that benefits.... SpaceX.

But, $5.17/gallon of gas is a "small price to pay" for us LITTLE people, trying to drive to Bezos' $7.25/hr job.

(After withholding, you PAID Bezos to work for HIM!)
“As much as $5 million in SpaceX two days before he signed a sweeping policy aimed at expanding US commercial space transportation.”

Today is Latina Equal Pay Day. When Latinas are paid fairly for their work, families are stronger, businesses grow, and our whole economy does better. We're committed to closing the gap and making equal pay for equal work a reality.

Latina women are the backbone of Nevada’s economy, but they’re still paid an average of only 53 cents for every dollar earned by white, non-Hispanic men. 
 
Equal pay for equal work is LONG overdue. As we recognize Latina Equal Pay Day, I’ll keep fighting until every woman is paid fairly.

Welp, the new washer is paid for...

I have $400 in my account that needs to last me 'til payday on the 20th...

...I have $410 in bills due up to the 19th...

...I'mma ask for an advance at work tomorrow, methinks. 😒

Not asking for handouts from friends here, it's not a crisis, just a nuisance.

I got a piece of really good news this afternoon and it heralding an era of “hey maybe everything can work out ok after all and your hard work paid off” sent me into such a shock that I think I’m gonna… just go to sleep. It’s still light outside. Ok well

Wharton School of Business. And he’s Low IQ. Oval Smelly can’t spell. Can’t write emails-Paid people to go to class and do his work like RFK Jr did-Dipshit can give himself any award he thinks he needs. Whatever gets him through the door of a Locked Memory Care Unit and QUICKLY. He’s off the beam.

Every woman — regardless of her race or ethnicity — should be valued fairly and paid equally for her work.

I introduced the Latina Equal Pay Day Resolution, with Rep. @fernandez.house.gov because equal work deserves equal pay.

Elyse Burns enrolled in law school at Duke University in 2019, taking out federal student loans to cover the $63,000 in tuition plus her living expenses, she says. A law career seemed like the practical move, but before she graduated, she knew she wouldn’t work as a lawyer.
This 28-year-old paid off her law school loans selling stickers and coloring books
Elyse Burns started selling her art on Etsy when she turned 18. Now she's paid off her student loans and did nearly $5 million last year.

I work at USPS and love dumping ballots for moderate dems in the trash. I don't even get paid to do it.
it’s that time again for leftists to try and suppress the vote for Democrats

WB did worse under his tenure, failed to meet the goals he set when he acquired it, and has been sold for scrap. And yet he'll have been paid over a billion dollars for his work there.

Something is fundamentally broken in our society.

DHS proposes $70K fee for international student work program
The Trump administration now wants colleges to pay the steep fee. Students have historically paid the current fee of around $500 themselves.

and even then it's not a reliable source of income for months because i'm very self conscious about work i'm paid for.

I just want a damn job.

work is really testing my patience today, I promote a movie about wildfires and some climate change denier is sending an email cc'ing my boss that we're lying 😭

bro it's not my movie, wrong address, also I don't get paid enough to care about you

Latinas deserve equal pay for equal work — period.

Today, on #LatinaEqualPayDay, we’re calling out the persistent wage gap and demanding an economy where Latinas can earn, thrive, and build a future without being paid less for doing the same work.

Equal work. Equal pay. Equal opportunity.

It’ll be in the news soon, but fuck yeah 16 months of crazy work by thousands of dedicated people paid off. Love that feeling.

Minor detail: Does he mean people work 3 days a week and get paid for 3 days? Or does he mean people work 3 days a week and get paid for 5 days?

Considering it's Bezos, I guessing it's the first one. I guess we now have to have two jobs: 3 days and 2 days. Otherwise, eviction and starvation!
