So I was just wondering. What is a good living wage in your area? I'm more interested in what's considered “entry level” or non-skilled jobs. For example, grocery store positions, clothing retail, etc. Please list an area, job title and pay based on time on the job. For example: Grocery store stocker, Dallas, TX, starting pay $18/hr.
I've been working at a grooming salon as a dog bather for the last month. I jumped into full time, Mon-Fri 8 hour shifts after never having a job before and I am obviously exhausted everyday. However, I've never missed a day or shown up late and I believe that I am doing my job very well. Because of my exhaustion, I take a couple 5 minute breaks everyday in the kitchen area of the shop to just decompress but quickly get back to work. My manager has noticed this and my co-workers have made a HUGE deal and yell at me every time. I feel bad, I'm just extremely tired and need to rest my feet for literally 2 minutes. Yesterday, I left the kitchen and came back to the chairs being gone. My supervisor removed them and we are no longer allowed to sit AT ALL at any…
I hate my shitty job so much. I've become severely depressed, suicidal and lost interest in everything that used to bring me joy because of it. I no longer have any hobbies or do anything except for work, barely eat, barely sleep (insomnia) and get drunk out of depression. I hate my job so much I simply see no point in living anymore. I have my suicide planned out if I dont see a way out. I'm in the trades. I really hate manual work and I am terrible at it. I've always been the type to struggle a lot with physical activities, PE was my worst subject in high school and I still can't drive after 6 years of getting my licence. I hate manual labour so much. When I ask people for advice on how to get out of it they just tell me that I have to…
I was working as a part-time music teacher, but when the pandemic hit they had me working 1-2 hours a week online for about a year. I contacted them multiple times hoping to obtain more hours and they never got back to me. Eventually my students quit and I no longer had work. Cue to half a year later, they tried to contact me to start teaching ASAP after leaving me unemployed, so I didn’t respond. Fast forward to last month (a year after they stopped giving me hours) they emailed me saying: “We have reached out to you multiple times in the last few months by text, email and phone. Unless I hear otherwise I will take a non-reply to this email as confirmation you are resigning your position at the Studio effective [date]” So they stopped giving me work for about a year, I didn’t feel the need…
I'd say student loans collections agent, because education is not a luxury commodity but (should be) an investment back into our people and their contribution to a better humanity for future generations. Holding society's best interests and people's lives hostage to profit, against their desire to better themselves and their world as an educated citizen is sort of evil. We shouldn't have an industry where thousands of our fellow citizens' livelihoods depend on jobs making life worse and doing evil to our fellow citizens in the name of a predatory loan industry that claims to help us in the beginning but too often preys on us (and our collective society) in the end.
A big eff you for your ridiculous rules/policies, disrespect, bitchy employees, forcing me to dye my hair, and much more! Best of luck to ya!
I went through 3 interviews with a company whose listing stated that 3-5 years of Marketing experience was required. The job had a hefty list of responsibilities and the company is definitely a place that rakes in a lot of money. Anyway, I ended up really liking company #1 and I had a job offer on the table from another company so I told company #1 that they were my first choice and that my timeline was now shorter because I needed to give company #2 a decision on whether I was going to accept the job offer or not. They sped up the hiring process for me and I got an offer from company #1 within 2 days. They told me that the starting rate was $20/hour. I was floored. I have 4.5 years of experience and I had no idea what to say to this guy. What did…
