Please let me know if this isn't the right subreddit for this. There is a company that exists only in my state, they have multiple different types of businesses across the state and employ a lot, A LOT of people. But I have no idea how they can operate the way that they do. The turnover rate is astounding and there's lots of speculation amongst employees in every sector that it's so they don't have to pay out benefits/shares, etc. Their employee reviews on glass door are horrific, everyone I talk to that works for them or has worked for them is 100% willing to talk about how awful it is to work for them. A few examples that I've seen firsthand after working for the company twice (once starting in 2018 and again about a year ago.)- Pay- I made $10 an hour to start in 2018. When I…

Does anyone know of a good website to look for jobs that is easy to use and has a quick apply option? I have used Indeed because they have an easy quick apply option. The trouble is Indeed has sadly become full of recruiters, advertising, and has lousy job selections. I will not go for a recruiter when looking for a job. Are there websites out there that have good job selections from legitimate employers, has no recruiters, and zero scams? I live in California, USA in the Central Valley and am applying for jobs strictly in that area. Any ideas or options for me?

About five weeks ago I rage quit my job of many years, my boss feeling I needed to put my job ahead of taking care of my father, who was mentally and physically crippled over the summer. In the weeks since I’ve had: -A job offer me a role two hours after applying for it, then retracting it the next day when they asked if I had specialized training and I responded in the negative; the HR person apparently thought everyone in healthcare who isn’t a doctor has an identical skill set. -An employer contact me an hour after I applied to tell me a role had been filled hours after it was posted, and has proceeded to relist and revise the position listing multiple times in the weeks after they talked to me. People I know who work there can’t figure out what is going on. -Getting repeated e-mails…

Title explains the gist of it. I already looked it up and know the answer is “yes, they can't do that” but I'm looking for advice on how to bring it up and back myself up when I confront them about it. I've been looking for a job for months now and I finally started as a serving assistant (cleaning tables, carrying food, etc.) at a franchise restaurant the other week (I don't want to say where exactly for privacy reasons unless I really have to but it's a fairly busy city-centre location). My last shift was the longest shift I've done there so far (7 hours, from 12-7pm), so I approached my manager just before my shift and asked when I'd get a break. They then turned to me and said “well, you don't usually get a break but since you've just started I'll let you have one today,…

I have a degree in science, but I've always wanted an engineering job. I felt a bit like I made a mistake with my education choices because at the time I thought that title didn't matter, but it really does when finding an engineering position. I thought I was lucky because I ended up with and engineering job, but honestly it was got a small company and my boss was a micro managing ass. He always made rude comments and expected us to memorize everything after he said it once, in my second language. He seemed to treat everyone better than me. Today he was being passive aggressive about me working from home, instead of from the office because of freezing rain. Even though we are fully capable of working from home. At this point I decided to quit, I think it happened amicably, which is nice. But I'm still…

I'm just coming off of a salary position (being laid off just in time to not get a yearly bonus). Supposedly it was beneficial to be on a Salary and not hourly. I don't really see it. Supposedly, I think it means if there isn't much work, I am paid the same. But this is as long as no one notices. Some disorganized busybody would give me work if I didn't have any. Paid days off? I costed the employer $between 7000 and 10000 this year in paid time off, which includes holidays. However, I've been a full-time employee with PTO and got paid days off. So this isn't unique to Salaried people. I've been a temp and contractor where I get punished for holidays that are not my own (your corporate holiday on the 25th), and I get punished for taking my holidays off that you don't recognize. Which…
