How to make peace with this fact?

The fact that you're supposed to spend most of your week around people you did not choose to be around with, whom you don't like and would otherwise not interact with? How is this the norm, not the other way around where we would spend most of our time with our friends and family, loved ones?

Quit my job on Friday.

I just couldn’t do it anymore, I couldn’t reconcile getting auto loans for people. I just need to exit the whole financial sector and do something that doesn’t make me feel like I’m part of the problem. It all started when I wondered aloud, what’s the interest rate in Heaven and from there it sorta followed its logical progression.

A “Sacrifice Zone” in Chattanooga, TN – once nicknamed the “Dynamo of Dixie”, the home of many mills, factories and foundries. These ruins are mainly from the U S Pipe plant. They’re ALL gone, along with the good paying, union, skilled labor jobs. Chattanooga now has a Volkswagen and Amazon.

If I clock out at 5:56pm and my employer rounds it down to 5:45pm is that against the law?

I work for a moving company and I clock out and soon as I’m done because I’m assuming they would respect the rounding system, but I noticed that when I was all finished just 4 minutes before 6pm they decided to round my time down to a 545pm, I know it’s just 15 minutes of work but if this is happening consistently it definitely is gonna add up. I’m just curious if this is violating any laws or if it’s just a dick move? I live in British Columbia, Canada

These ‘volunteers’ could be helping one of the local charities but instead they are helping a business maintain its profits. Late stage capitalism is taking us to some wild places.

Architecture is rampant with instructors exploiting and manipulating young aspiring architecture students to do their bidding with little to no pay. And in some cases students are convinced to postpone their studies to work for an instructor for at times 18hrs a day.

If you’re looking to hire someone, READ THEIR RESUME BEFOREHAND!!!

He said he was going to do it AFTER the interview which is extremely rude if I'm being honest. I'm still new to work life, but if you want to hire someone, don't sit there wondering why no one wants to work for you when you can't even bother putting in the effort to make them want to come work for you!
