Month: July 2023

I just don’t understand it at ALL, for like 90% of people, their work would lay them off with a second thought the moment a minor recession or problem hits them, so why tf would you ever actually be passionate about any job ever, is this just a dying practice from back in the 50s to 70s or 80s? I understand if you are like a scientist or engineer, or something making a good demonstrable and seeable change in the world, but for most people it makes no sense to me So, excuse me for not knowing anything, but I am a 21m and still in college, and I believe I am normal and hang out with normal people my age also in college So, I am not aware of ever personally meeting a person who was passionate about their work, but that is probably just the position that I’m…

Info: me (25m) and boss/also my dad 52 I was verbally and physically assaulted (and fired) as I was telling my boss I was going to be leaving the company in a month. I didn’t hit him back, I just calmly took him to the ground and left. Obviously multiple laws were broken but I didn’t want to pursue anything given my circumstances (even though I was disowned before I was fired and assaulted). But that all changed when I received the change of employment paperwork. It was marked down as quit voluntarily/ left on own volition. This made me so mad and screwed me over. Not only was I disowned, fired, and assaulted- I can’t even qualify for unemployment now. So I think I’m going to either demand a year of severance or sue and get a almost guaranteed $200K payout. Never trust your boss even if they are…

Wtf is up with all these warehouse jobs requiring you to work 10 hours and that’s not even over time. They say 10 hour shifts plus over time. Excuse me???? Why so casually sir? & all these other jobs on indeed are for pure caregiver positions. Which by the way require FBI background It’s getting harder and harder to get a job. I’ll admit 5 years ago I used to roll my eyes when people would say how hard it was to get a job. Aside from being picky about wanting a career or something better, it never took me more than a month to find a new job but now…

I haven't looked for a new job in 25 years and the last job I found was through just driving to some plants and walking in to fill out an application. Well, it took me half a day to find that job. After 20 yrs I left it to work for myself, about 5 yrs ago. Our living situation became much more complicated over the last year and I think it is time to find another company job. I am in the process of writing my resume now, but my question is: how do I look for work now? I used to have a LinkedIn account, but I canceled that years ago. I also read a lot of bad things about linkedin and indeed on here, so how do people find jobs now? Is driving from plant to plant and applying in person still a viable choice? Do I go…

I know many positions are obligated to be present the whole shift based on the type of work but there are lots of jobs where someone finishes their tasks for the day but have to just sit there and wait out the clock for several hours. It seems very counter productive, I feel it would actually improve productivity since most people don’t want to just sit out the clock. I personally worked with many people who are super lazy all day because they are stuck there until end of day anyway so no reason to be productive when they can procrastinate on their phones for half the day. Just something that came to mind and wanted to see what others think.
