Fuck all these Craigslist poverty jobs.

I was looking in a region that is the most expensive place to live in the country (Orange county) and 90% of jobs are living in the stone ages. $15.00/hr to work construction? Why the fuck would I want to do that when I can serve coffee in an air conditioned building? I love how they try to entice you. “$15.00/hr + Bonus” – Wow! Amazin' – Now with the cost of renting a room ranging from $900-1400 (Yes, people are paying $1400 for rooms in some parts of California, most of it seems pointless.) Other jobs are just HTML based spam shit that, when you apply, your number gets thrown on a call-list for some scam bullshit. These fucking poverty wages have got to go. I DO-NOT-BLAME anyone here for being Antiwork. I myself got lucky. I started a niche small side business that brings me income once in…

Anyone else get treated differently for being single with no kids?

Where I work, they have this policy where they can change the schedule as long as they give you 48 hours notice. Which is ridiculous, since people plan things when the schedule comes out two weeks in advance. What if someone made an appointment? Or family plans? Etc. So stupid and I hate it. Anyway… Wednesday night they told me that my schedule for today changed, what if I made plans two weeks ago? I went from being off at 7 to being off just recently (9:30). When I asked Wednesday why it changed, I was told that so and so had something come up with their daughter, and that I could do it since I was single/no kids. Ugh Never tell anyone at your work anything personal that they don’t need to know. I’m the type that’s bad when it comes to standing up for myself. I’m viewing this…

Can I be forced to make a WhatsApp?

When I signed and read my employment contract, they stated that we would get paid $10 for having to use our phones to clock in and be tracked through the clock in app, (it doesn't state anything about that on the paystub). But now I'm being told that I have to create a WhatsApp and join the group. I don't remember them stating anything like that, and I'm really trying to limit who I have contact with.
