Month: July 2023

I have found that luxury retail and bartending positions will just not hire people unless they have experience in those fields. I have applied for at least 20 bartending jobs and over 10 luxury retail jobs. No dice! I do not get how these fields manage to always have positions available yet deny anybody who is trying to get into the field!!! It makes no sense how these fields seemingly have no shortage of people given how they refuse to hire anyone without 3+ years of “relevant” experience. If anyone has an explanation, PLEASE give me one.

30 female and can't stand work. I have never been able to hold a job longer than 7 months due to my mental illness, but I have to have insurance and I have to have enough money to pay rent. Never been fired, just couldn't stand working so I resigned. Working puts a dark cloud over literally everything I do and makes me want to not even be alive anymore. I'm a horribly toxic person with my family due to my antisocial personality disorder but at work I know how to control it so I've never even gotten in trouble at work. Right now I live with my parents and sister, but when my sister moves out I will go with her and there is no other option. She is my only friend. My ideal job would be to sell art online, but I'm no good at art and even…

EDIT: “delta” in the title was supposed to say Depts ** Basically I got a new role in a new dept with the same company and due to his lack of planning and preparation he’s making me stay to “accommodate business needs” for another month. We have another person who does what I do but he calls out at least once a week, yet makes more than I do and gets more praise than I do. I’m tired of it and that’s why I’m leaving the dept, as well as my manager not knowing how to be a true leader (he talks badly about other techs, he dug into me about calling out 3 times since the beginning of this yr, and he calls me freaking out over stuff that isn’t happening until the next week). Basically, I just wanna know how to make this man’s life harder or if…

I apologize if this is the wrong place to ask but I work in medical imaging in California and am new to the state. My department is low on staff and has nobody to work night shift and I was wondering if there was a state law against using on call shifts to fill these gaps in positions? Thank you!

Like I'm already annoyed at jobs for paying shit, and making you wait or rescheduling you when they asked you to come to an interview at said time but now it been getting “interviews “ which just make me redo my application on paper after I did it online and the waiting for the interview like I came for an interview, I didn't just waist bus money and walked a 7 minute walk in 3 minutes to get to the interview on time to wait for an interview them giving me a paper application doing it going up to them and waiting somemore and still get rejected like wtf(this rant came kit bcs of a current situation but I am still mad at the paper application when you are supposed to be doing an interview )

I saw on my schedule I was working 44.5 hours next week. It sucked but at least I was gonna get some overtime pay (or so I thought). I ask my boss to double check we do and it turns out that time and a half isn't a thing with the employees here. I did a little digging into my state labor laws (Michigan) and found out that non exempt workers have to get paid 1.5x your normal pay if you work more than 40 hours. I can't do anything about it right now as I haven't gotten paid for that week but I do plan on reporting it to the department of labor if what my boss said was true.

My wife works at a cosmetology school that got bought out by a larger company last year. Her position and responsibilities have changed and evolved since then as the local college is now under a larger corporate umbrella. Recently, she was sent a “Change of Status Offer Letter – Position” which formerly outlined her new responsibilities and roles within the school. The letter also reported her hourly rate as being higher than it is now. Great! An overdue and well deserved raise! She initialed and signed the letter. Now her boss (bosses boss?) is trying to say it was an error and her wages were mistakenly reported incorrectly. They gave her a new letter, she refused to sign. They are still paying her the previous rate as of her last paycheck. What can she do? Does she have a leg to stand on? Where can we get practical assistance? The…
