Anyone in favor of actual paid working interviews?

I see a trend here lately of employers asking candidates to work partial shifts or show their skills. Unpaid this is total garbage and usually illegal and create a nightmare of liability for said company. But what if there was some way to shield company from said liability and get paid while showing off skills? Some people look terrible on paper and get passed over for that solely but happen to be great employees. Just curious of thoughts on that. Would love to hear y’all’s thoughts on the subject.

What asinine work-from-home policy(ies) has your employer enacted? (Part duex)

Part one of the post is here. Two other gems they also added a) If you are WFH and you lose power, you have to immediately email your supervisor to let him/her know so he/she can verify the outage on PECO's outage map (or whomever your distributor is for those outside of the greater Philly area). b) If you lose Internet you must send a copy of the outage ticket you file with your ISP to your superior showing the date/time of the outage, along with a copy of the ticket resolution correspondence showing the date/time it was resolved. Whenever possible supervisors are required to verify outages on ISP outage pages, if they have them. Failure to conform will be considered an unexcused absence and you will be docked a day's pay, until such a time when you re-establish your VPN connection to the office . Repeated failures to supply…

Boss made me an authorized user on his business credit card without consulting me and it tanked my credit. Is there anything I can do?

Pretty much what the title says, boss made a lot of us authorized users on this business card and now I’ve got it reporting on my credit, I wasn’t told I was going to be an authorized user and idk why a business card would effect my credit because it bought they were based off of the EIN. Is there anything I can do? I’m no longer at the company but my credit is still dipped from that card.

boss asked if I still want to work when I asked for a weekend off

I work in a small coffee shop with zero hour contract. There are 5 staff and it’s only me who is full time. I asked for a Friday- Saturday day off, if you ask why such a short notice, well she sends our rota Sunday night for the following week, you could be out on a Sunday and wouldn’t know your rota for the coming week until 6-7pm. Also I already put them on the calendar as per her instructions, not my fault she didn’t checked. Rang me (clearly upset that she will be working weekends) and asked do you even still want to work? I said well yes of course and ranted saying no one wants to work anymore blah blah. Not my fault that when someone wants a week or holidays off, she has to cover because like I said she has staff but everyone are part timers…
