Month: March 2022

I'm in school full time, so I really just want work that's extremely flexible with scheduling. Some weeks I get all my school work done quickly, other weeks I'm swamped and work just gets in the way of that. Can anyone point me in the right direction to look for remote work?

How do I know if my prospective employer will call my “former employer” to confirm dates of employment and job title? I never get any calls with my actual resume (and I'm way qualified for everything I apply for) but I was sick of the waiting around and never hearing even a 'fuck you' we hired someone else…. just crickets… for months I added ONE entry level role (that i never had) but got a call immediately from an application, haven't heard from them since maybe 2 weeks ago. I'm guessing they called to verify. HOW DO WE BEAT THIS SHIT?

I can't do this anymore, working for someone else. I went for a few interviews to change my jobs. I even have a straight-up offer. But I know for sure it will be bad situations again in a few months. So I have decided to quit and do part-time deliveries to support myself and work on my projects for the whole day.

I work as customer support for a company that operates in more then 22 countries. In 2021 they made 160.000.000 USD in revenue. Do you know how much I get paid for working full time? 500 USD for an entire month. How I am supposed to be happy and motivated for my job?

I'm 20 years old, barely enjoying my life that is along the poverty line, with an overprotective mom. I fortunately have state endorsement for my college because I don't make $100K+/year in my state. I graduate this spring with my Associate's Degree. I should be happy, but I'm not. I'm not even continuing college because I want to, but because mom wants me to and she means well by it. “Means well,” at this point she's blinded by how she means well that at this point she doesn't know how this affects me. It's also hard to change her mind. How bad is this? Well… put yourself in my shoes. You have an overprotective mom basically making every life choice for you because she means well to a MAJOR fault, tells you all the time that you don't like this, think of creative ways to make money, yet at the…

My boss is constantly threatening to take our phone chargers away if he sees us using them. I understand that if it’s against the rules then so be it, no charging, but is he allowed to physically take the charger if we do charge?

In early 2020, I worked as a cook at a local restaurant/bar when COVID hit and a lot of my coworkers got laid off. Those of us that remained got our already low pay cut by at least dollar an hour(think I went from $12 to $11) because of how “slow” business was. Also we all got delegated more responsibilities to pick up the slack of those that got laid off. I started doing the kitchen manager duties(and much more) and they assured me I’d get a pay raise and guaranteed management position “when things got better”. One of the owners bought a brand new Ford truck and a $400k house not long after that. When I finally got that “management position”(which I had already been doing for a year without the title and pay, showed up every single day and never took any vacation days) I found out that…

I've been with this company for a year and a half in a middle management role. It's always been a super small team where I have “worn a lot of hats” aka have been totally overburdened. I'm being paid $20,000 under my worth (at a minimum! I'm basing this on the low-end of the average salary for similar roles in my geographical location). My stupid question: How do I quit? I want to send a letter of resignation tomorrow and offer two weeks notice. I've knocked on this door so many times in the past six months but haven't pulled the trigger. Why? I'm afraid they're going to belittle me and treat me like shit. Can someone please talk sense to me. Edited: typos

I have had numerous jobs and although some have been better than others most I have hated. How do people actually love mundane and tedious work? Some people just live to work and soak up all the overtime work they can even when the pay sucks. Is this a form of mental illness? Why do they long to be at work all day? Where do they get their energy?
