“Ageism — often labeled the last acceptable bias — is keeping America’s older population out of employment”

Apply for a job in the US and you’ll be asked several questions that have little to do with the role itself. Recruiters might want to know about your gender identity, if you have a disability, what ethnic group you are from and even whether you’re a US Army veteran. This is all done to ensure the company is hitting diversity, equity and inclusion targets. However, employers rarely take steps to ensure that diversity also applies to age. Research shows that 78% of US workers over the age of 40 have experienced or witnessed age discrimination.

Honestly I don’t get the logic of unskilled labour, like what df does it mean?. If cooperation are trying to justify paying people less because it’s an unskilled job and they are replaceable that’s understandable.

How to fake an interview?

So I finally took the only option available to those of us without connections and money to get fancy pieces of laminated paper – I lied on my resume. I lied about a college degree, I lied that I have a bunch of experience that I don't. I got an interview for next week at a bank. Now what? Any ideas on how to fake the interview? It's a “project manager” job so it's one of those BS management jobs that doesn't need any skills as such. So if I can fake the interview, I'll be fine at the job.

Is this a cult?

My brother has recently gotten very into this sub. He's become very angry and depressed, and very moody about discussing work or finances. He quit his job a few weeks ago, which I supported, but currently he is saying things like he never wants to get a job again, and that he plans on living on his savings which is not something he should be doing so young imho. He only had to go in one day a week and the rest of the time worked from home. He was paid well, too. I just don't understand the philosophy of this place. It feels very childish, as if we're in Hook and money made out of playdough will just appear if you wish for it enough. No one loves work, but it's something responsible people have to do, especially when others are depending on it. I just don't see how…
