When are we revolting?
Today it happened again where an interviewer was 5 minutes late. I left the zoom call because I don’t understand why I should be okay with lateness. when it would 100% not be okay for a candidate to be late If i’m expected to be early then so should the interviewer.

Struggling with Gas prices..
My response from an earlier conversation i felt should be shared on a bigger post. Walk, Bike, or take a bus. Driving is a fundamental privilege, not a right or need. it's a WANT. I can see how my opinion sounds a bit cold. For many, bus transportation can be out of reach in rural areas. But the times we live in now compared to our great grandfathers and mothers times,.its incomparable. They're are options Weve' become too comfortable and reliant on other countries to support our own ways of living and working. And this is coming from someone who owns a car, but chooses to take buses whenever possible to save because the prices keep going higher, and yet my pay rate stays the same. Adaptation is an uncomfortable feeling and many simply are not willing to change their habits because they still focus on what they don't have,…

Motivation
From Hamish and Andy's radio show, the two call up some bloke and pretend to have put a random number down on their résumé as a reference and ask him to go along with if he gets called up by the potential employer. They then pretend to be the employer and ask about the candidate, whom he has actually never met. It's an interesting situation and I'm not even sure what I would say. I guess one thing that might impact my view would be what the actual job is. How do you think you would react and has anyone actually ever put a random number down, or even listed someone you may not even talk to anymore?

Union proposal…
Hey I'm 24/m and I'm working at a factory in Ohio and our union negotiations are coming up and I want to propose something to help everyone here at my job our old agreements gave us a 15.5% raise over. 6 years in that 6 years inflation has increased 25% is it wrong to ask for the 9.5 percent raise across the board and change our raises to match yearly inflation? Also any other ideas for proposals that are common or acceptable? Our contract covers alot of areas and currently very lacking in work life, for example cannot use any vacation or take any days off without being pointed until we have been here a full year. During 2019 and 2020 our company was battered by the pandemic, but the company invested alot into upgrades during this time but last year the company performance was up almost 300% on profits…

I need help sticking it to my company
Helooooo r/antiwork! I work for a company where I am the only person with credentials to certain things. They've fired my boss twice in the last two years and then when I'm left to pick up the pieces and keep everything going, they wont compensate me properly, no matter what kind of leverage I have on the situation. If I quit on the spot and they contact me afterwards asking for these credentials: Am I obligated to give those to them? Can I 'remember' what they are for a cost? Would this option fall under any kind of legal issue (at all) if they were to call it my 'severance'? p.s – they would have no way to access these sites unless I specifically give them the credentials. Not even the CEO would be able to call them with the company card on file to regain access. The issue with…
