I’m pretty early in my job search and I got an offer for $50k with no benefits in a real estate office. I’ve had a few interviews with offices paying similar in an area I actually care about, some with benefits. I’m afraid to turn it down and end up with no offer from anywhere. I interviewed on Monday and he’s going to reach out at the end of the week for my decision. What are my options?
I have a friend who has been working at a local grocery store for around two years. A few days ago he was fired for “stealing a candy bar.” When it was slow he would sometimes buy a snack at his check stand to pass time. One of these times he picked up a piece of candy to scan, but was quickly made busy by a customer. He put the bar down and helped the customer. After this, he purchased and ate it. Several days later he was called into the office and they showed him video of him “stealing the candy bar” by setting it down before purchasing. They didn’t bother to look any further in the video. Then, when my friend denied this saying he obviously didn’t steal it, they pressed him saying that they would call the police if he didn’t admit it. So, he got fired…

I'm trying to swap over to another department in my company because the one I am with is with an insufferable boss and bad hours. I had an interview with department B and they seemed really interested but I was later informed by a boss of dept A that they no longer had room for me so I carried on with position A. A colleague left department B so I reached out to department B again for an opportunity and was told that they had been told by department A that I was no longer interested a few months ago. I have clarified this to be a misunderstanding with department B and that I am still interested. I have since then heard there was a new hire for department B. I did not think to reach out then but did when a former colleague of department B let me know…
The 3-ladder system of social class in the U.S. Typical depictions of social class in the United States posit a linear, ordered hierarchy. I’ve actually come to the conclusion that there are 3 distinct ladders, with approximately four social classes on each. Church describes a “Labor,” “Gentry,” “Elite” taxonomy, with an underclass as unlucky 13th. Transitions occur from “high skill labor” to “transitional gentry” (think the milling machine operator taking business classes at night) and “high gentry” to “elite strivers” (think the Ivy league grad who spends three years on Wall Street and then jumps to form a financial services startup) Thinking about this description of class in my own life, I can see where people I know rose up the rungs, jumped from one ladder to another, or found a place and stayed in it. I really enjoyed his description of the “Global Elite” (e1) On the other hand,…
I'm criticized if I try to be helpful and do things that have everything to do with my work but aren't technically my job. Yet if I don't do those things I get to hear the complaints. My boss is nice but clueless and is so quick to point fingers at me yet he doesn't understand my side at all. How do I get to the I don't give a fuck level because I feel like I still have fucks left to give? TLDR: How can I not give a fuck at work? Help
I've never been able to hold down a real job my entire life. I hate the whole concept of work. Most jobs have no variety and your stuck doing the same shit every day. Don't give me the “find income in something you enjoy” speech because that's just not usually a realistic thing. As a matter of fact, I don't want to ruin the things I actually enjoy by turning it into a job. Even my favorite activities I get sick of and move on from on occasion. Plant my ass down, playing video games for a few days straight and I take day or weeks off from that shit. Am I doomed? The thought of having the same mindless job until I die or retire gives me loads of anxiety.
Hopefully this is an acceptable post for this sub… I'm currently working for a really good company, possibly the best I've worked before. My office is 5 mins from home, it's quiet and there's hardly any stress. I've been in the industry for so long that it's quite easy to perform my duties (though some days can be challenging). When I was hired, I informed them I was looking for Part Time work for personal reasons. I agreed on 35 hrs a week instead of 20 (because my workload is rather light) I am the type who used to always look for more work if I wasn't doing anything. I'd get so loaded up on work and due to how obsessive and meticulous and disciplined I am, I could maintain larger workloads than my peers. However, every last employer that I busted my ass for has always come back with…
