They were SO close to solving the problem that they were complaining about.

I was hired from an advertisement that said part time work. I asked for three days a week because the shifts are twelve hours so that would put me on 36 hours a week. I explained that I have a disabled husband and mother I need to take care of at home. Now a year later I'm work four days a week and they call me every week to work my days off. I say no but I looked it up and in Florida where I live they can force you to work everyday as many hours as they want as long as they pay me overtime which they do or else they can legally fire me for disagreeing. I love my job and I'd work there forever but they are going to burn me out and I'm going to end up quiting. I don't understand why they don't just…

We need an Employers Don't Want to Really Hire subreddit. Case in point: Today I spent 45 minutes filling out an application for a call center role that had shit pay. Fine, ok, i need a job, I can deal for a bit. At the very end, they requested an unskippable virtual interview. I hate those, but again, need job. the damned thing literally wanted me to sit there and talk for a WHOLE TWO MINUTES about why I wanted to work for them.. It wouldn't let me move forward til two minutes had been recorded. I ran out of things to say and I finally just said, “Ok, we're done here, there's nothing you can't ask me over Zoom in this. Stop trying to discriminate before the interview.” and dropped out. Yet, No OnE WAntS tO WoRk AnYmORe! They sent me a form email asking me to finish my…

So many things from YouTube to electronic devices have been messed up because of corporate greed. Things you used to own are now a subscription fee. Operating systems you are forced to update to and that may come with built in ads. All this because capitalism depends on infinite growth. Shareholders must see a return and companies ruin a good service or product because of capitalism

Hi there, Not sure if this is the right sub for the query, but I wanted to find out if there is a way of concealing working from a different country (based in UK, target country Portugal) from my employer temporarily (up to a month). I have a 100% WFH arrangement, meaning no required contact days in the office. I am using a company laptop for my work and have to use company's VPN to access certain documents. I'm not that tech savvy, please let me know if you need more info to give me an answer. Thanks in advance!

I've been thinking about some stuff and was wanting to get your reactions, thoughts, ideas and such. We all have heard the terms “hard work, a hard worker, working hard” and such. We all have ideas on what these mean. I'm curious if we could actually come up with a common description/ definition so we all understand what that means. Am I making sense because sounding this out in my head sounds better than this…

They constantly criticize this sub and take away from the true meaning. I just joined and trying to learn more.
