Should I lie in my resume?
I couldn’t think of any other to post this too and I’m sorry if it’s out of place! I currently don’t have a license, I have a learners permit and am learning to drive. A job I want to apply for asks for a valid license, and I am driving to work either by my sis or my friend. Should I go ahead and lie and say yes?
I've seen a lot of reasons here. But I think the top reason is so you don't quit. One of the top reasons people stay at a job is they like their coworkers. We make friends and that costs the company nothing and it is worth so much to them. There's a dollar amount associated with you having a friend in the office. Now your company lost this tool for keeping you without having to pay you more. (I'm not saying don't make friends, be nice to your coworkers, we need it)

Return to the office.
On burnout, CPTSD, and the workplace: Reframing burnout as what’s getting in the way of your wellness and a symptom of inadequate support led Aviles to conclude that the problem isn’t the burnout. It’s an economic system that makes individual workers essentially dispensable, so that the workplace becomes a site of survival struggles. “I really think it’s a tool of oppression, to keep folks constantly busy, and we’re overworking and underpaying them,” she explains. “You’re not allowing people to rest and relax and rejuvenate and refresh their minds and their bodies, [and] oftentimes, you can’t make clear decisions if you’re in that state.”
I'm not even 21 yet and I've already overcame so much in life. The statistical chances of someone my age with my background to be mentally stable, financially stable, not abusing substances, and having a stable job is extremely low. But as long as I'm working full time I'm still gonna feel like I failed at life. I have everything I wanted 3 years ago but I'm realizing now that everything I wanted was overrated (Edited for grammar)

I don’t want to work anymore.
I am someone who is sensitive to pain. I am someone who was diagnosed with cerebral palsy affecting on the right side of my mobility skills. When see me walk, I limp ever so slightly if not ever. I have a degree in Business Economics and graduated at a UCI in 2016. I did not have a back up plan and ended up working in retail for 5 years as a cashier and sales associate. Now, I work as an Accounts Payable and I absolutely loathe it. I dread the office environment because I cant really connect with anyone, it's just a bunch of elderly ladies, there's no one in my age group. I'm 28 and I'm sick of it, I feel like I'm not getting anywhere in life. I feel that I should reapply to another accounting job or work in IT, but I'm just so frustrated that I'm…
I always hear about retail/service workers waiting for their schedule, not knowing their schedule until the week before, etc. And from my own experience years ago working in restaurants, it was the same. I've just never understood why. All of these businesses for the most part operate at fixed hours, so how the hell do they not know the schedule? Why wouldn't they just schedule people for the same hours every week, and then have people take time off or swap shifts as needed? Maybe I'm missing something, but it just seems crazy to me and I've never understood why it works this way. Can someone explain why the system is like this?
