I work at a shelter. One of our guests got some bad news today. Homeless man: Hi I'd like to apply for a job at your company Job: Great application, you have years of experience in this field. We'd like to move forward with an interview… but you left the address blank. Where do you live? Homeless man: I'm homeless, trying to get back on my feet. Job: Actually we are gonna have to pass. Good luck though! This shit is a lot easier said than done…this is why we advise people not to disclose their housing status to employers. So much for the “labor shortage”.

For my one year at KU, my loan was $17,532.00. I started paying it back in 2012 with no help on lowering the payment amount or anything from the lender (which has been sold to other lenders three separate times). So ballpark, I’ve paid over $30,000 on this loan since then. Guess what I owe still? $20,246.31. The system is a fucking joke and needs to be redone. My estimated pay off date is 2034. I’ve almost paid back my loan twice over and still owe more than the original amount. It’s a predatory system that needs change badly. Mine is also a private loan that was originally from Chase student lending (that doesn’t exist anymore).

So I applied at this Holiday Inn. Found the job on Glass door it posted 30 days or so ago. Decided to apply because it was a quick application. Got a call back asking for me to come in for an interview. They emailed me the information which was nice of them. They added in the some of the scheduled shifts. Here is a copy and paste. “We have you scheduled for Wednesday @ 1pm for the interview. Please stop in at the desk, ask for an application and after filling it out, the interview will be done with No name. Please call if anything changes prior. Please note that this position is a shift position working 3-11pm shifts, and it requires working Friday 3-11pm, Saturday 3-11pm and Sunday 7-12noon.” Less then eight hours between two shifts? Come on that's no way to treat anyone. No wonder they can't find…

Been working at a hospital for 3+ years. During COVID I got redeployed to another department that handled infection prevention measures & was on the front lines. Now that infection rates have plummeted I thought I’d be going back to my original department. Nope. When I asked for a raise for taking on all this additional work that I never signed up to do, I got 44 cents and an atta girl. Was told I couldn’t do my work from home now either after proving that I could. I have a virtual team meet & greet lined up for another organization this week. It’s the last thing in the interview process. It’ll be a remote job, better pay, not front line work & working in record management which is my passion. I’m dying to get this job. Please put some good vibes, prayers, etc. towards me! Don’t take no for…

I work in fintech and make decent money currently. I found a better role with a 50% raise and title bump. I put in my 2 weeks last week and I have been getting bombarded with more work than I have ever received. my manager is out on paternity leave and he's excellent but his superiors are not so much. They're constantly assigning me tasks left and right. things that don't even pertain to me. I did the first few tasks, but then I realized why? What are they going to do? Fire me? I thought about not burning bridges but I don't even care at this point. Not a bridge I want to keep. HR also tried to guilt-trip me about why I'm leaving after they were “so nice to me during my medical leave”, which yes they were. They were very accommodating but since when is it a…
