I’m going to quit my job but…

So basically I’m using my last 2 week vacation days before I quit. After I’m done with those days, the next day of coming in I’m going to hand in my 2 week notice to leave. Do you guys think this is messed up ore no? I wouldn’t get paid my 2 week vacation days so I wanted to use them before I left might as well but maybe it looks a little bit messed up to do but idk. They’re not the perfect employers either and they’ve changed my schedule and location a couple times with out a choice basically and other problems like doing a lot at work ore others be very irresponsible and nothing happens to them not show up breakdowns many things and nothing ever seems to happen to them and I’m pretty responsible respectful and good worker and they’re always on my ass and it’s…

Ex Employer is not paying out 2nd half of contracts

Worked for a company in Wisconsin that installs custom kitchens and closets. The pay was commission. I would get paid 1/2 at the sale and then paid the remain 2nd half once installed. When I gave them my notice of leaving the company, I was told that I will only be paid on the contracts while I am still employed. Meaning that any installs that are done after I leave, I would not get paid for the remaining amount. This is thousands of dollars left unpaid. I have to the employment contract to see what the terms were but this seems wrong.

It took me over 6 months of constant applying and interviewing to finally land a new job, and I’m experienced for my field and I’m a disabled veteran. Did my disabled veteran status hurt my chances or is the job market that bad?

Why is LinkedIn/networking so dehumanizing? (Perspectives from a former college student)

I never was with the LinkedIn game early on because I never cared about getting into the competitive fields like tech or whatever. I was also just a kid, 18–20 years old. But after having graduated in two years with liberal arts degrees and giving the finger to the prospect of law school, I’m stuck with navigating the working world as a wannabe teacher. Honestly, why does LinkedIn feel so fucking fake and sad? I see so many young adults under the age of 22 building LinkedIn profiles, starting public speaking journeys, making their own podcasts or doing internships and all this shit and it just feels so… sad to me. People bring up the prospect of “networking” in order to get a job but it’s exactly that: connections only done for the purpose of finding a job. It’s all fake as shit. But why do people seem to enjoy…

‘Decadent and passive’: China cracks down on ‘throwing eggs’ card game

https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/aug/24/decadent-and-passive-china-cracks-down-on-throwing-eggs-card-game-guandan A recent run of articles in the state-run Beijing Youth Daily described guandan as intoxicating and “decadent”, warning that it was “time to control the trend of ‘laying flat’ among all guandan players”. Laying flat (tangping in Chinese) is the term given to a social trend among young people who are rejecting high-pressure jobs for an easier lifestyle, which has alarmed authorities. Reading the rest of the article, it looks more like the government is afraid of anything that might resemble a union.
