i work at a chain store and am trying to transfer between stores. i did this last year, and I was simply switched over to a new store’s schedule. i have coworkers who have transferred to stores in other countries. I say this because, as I’m trying to transfer now, my manager is saying they won’t put it through unless I go over to that location to introduce myself/talk to them. This is not policy. Is this, me taking time out of my day to do something for work, working? Even though I’m not really doing my “job”. I live in Ontario.

So i received a job offer recently from Target, went through the whole background check and pre-employment screening tasks. When I received a call from them to hear about orientation and starting they said it would be this week. I stated in my application I wouldn't be abke to start until the 22nd of November and explained that to them. They said no problem we'll call you soon with an update. What was the update? They're no longer moving forward with my application I'm so fucking annoyed and pissed off right now

I am currently looking for a new job one that is preferably WFH. The problem is I will submit my resume and I keep on getting rejection after rejection emails. This is getting quite annoying since I am mostly trying to apply to even basic entry level remote jobs. My work history: I currently work as a security guard and have been doing this for 4 years. Prior to that I did a internship at a computer repair shop and before that I helped my dad at his store. I do have some community college experience but no degree. I am pretty good with Microsoft office programs and am a pretty fast typer. So I should be quite capable of doing something like email/chat customer support, data entry, level 1 help desk, virtual assistant, or bookkeeping. I even see jobs that only ask for a High School Diploma, fast typing…

English is not my first language so, I’m really sorry for any mistakes and incoherence. I don’t know if this is the right place to post this but I really need to vent on what’s happening I’ve been working at a convenience store for almost 2 years now and the only thing I had to complain at the start was my shift (2pm-10pm, 3 days off per month). I always asked my manager if I could take my 1 hour break (my contract says it’s my right) and he always comes with excused, so I never had a break. My boss is lazy, there’s no other way to describe her, and she calls me all the time to her office (she works on the second floor) for me to help her send an email, or post something on instagram (I know it’s ridiculous) or to get her a bottle of…

Say you love the outputs of your job. Say your job has a wonderful purpose and does good for the world. Say you've been doing your job for 10+ years and you've consistently and gladly given 100-150%, yet you've always been a bit bothered by being underpaid. Say you work for an entity where you deal multiple funders, such as government funding sources, private company funding sources, and foundations as well. Say all these funders – due to the global situation – are getting pedantic with respect to their funding and you find yourself giving 150-200%, working sometimes 15+ hours per day. Say your personality is change-averse and you feel your back is against the wall. You fear either being driven to mental/health detriment with the current situation or facing the fear of change (prior a looming recession no less). Say you learned yesterday that an old friend and colleague…

I made the stupid mistake of letting the overlords at my stupid customer service job know that I was currently going back to school. Now suddenly I am unable to access my college’s website or other studying materials and they are saying that this block as always been in place and it’s in order to protect customers. The funny thing is that I am only one of my coworkers experiencing this block since the rest of them plan to stick with the company. Just so fucking done with them, I work from home so I’ll just use my laptop. It will make things harder but I am not going to let them win by limiting my study and homework time so I’ll drop out since I can’t keep up.
