(CAN) Found out entry-level contractor is making more than me (senior manager) Hi PF! I am a senior manager for a department at my org for almost 5 years now, and have received one single 6% raise 2 years ago, which was about half of what I had proposed at the time (closer to 12%). At that time I thought it was fair and accepted gratefully. All was fine until I recently found out this week my boss hired a new contractor ju…

Boss might be inaccurately identifying me as an independent contractor…what should I do?

( www.reddit.com )

Boss might be inaccurately identifying me as an independent contractor…what should I do? Basically, I’m working as a legal assistant in California. No one else works in the firm, it’s just me and the attorney. When he hired me, he said that it would be as an IC since I’d be making my own hours. The way that’s worked out so far is he’ll email me forms to complete and ask that I do so whenever I have time. Or sometimes he’ll ask if I …

I got screwed over by a contractor – please help me figure out my tile for the next one. I’m desperate!

( www.reddit.com )

I got screwed over by a contractor – please help me figure out my tile for the next one. I’m desperate! These are my kitchen and personal bathroom. In the kitchen, can you recommend what kind of trim is necessary here? The designer didn’t advise us on how to finish the edges and it doesn’t look right. We need to rip off all of these tile jobs because the contractor was incompetent and they’re all wonky. How the heck do I finish the edges of the ti…

Contractor disappeared after Zelle deposit

( www.reddit.com )

Contractor disappeared after Zelle deposit I recently started a home renovation. I hired a contractor to help. He had great reviews and nothing seemed fishy at all. Signed a contract a few months ago and gave the initial deposit through Zelle. Since that day, have received nothing but “personal emergencies” and various excuses until I eventually got ghosted about a month ago. Have call…

Misclassified 1099 contractor?

( www.reddit.com )

Misclassified 1099 contractor? I think my part-time employer may be misclassifying employees as contractor for tax benefit. I was wondering what, if anything, there is to do about this other than to just find a different side hustle. I am employed by a company that provides bar/beverage services for events such as weddings, corporate gatherings, concert venues, etc. in the So…
