I’ve been on the hunt for a job since May, and have done 7ish interviews why i say ish is because two of them have been set up and scheduled and when it’s time for the phone/ zoom interview I either don’t get called and have confirmation emails that the interview is still happening or I have zoom calls where I sit and wait in the link they gave me and no one ever joins. What is the point of this!? I was supposed to have an interview at 2:45 today (so 20 minutes ago) and they sent an email confirming the interview and a text an hour before and I never got the actual phone call. I sent an email asking what’s up and if I should call the number they provided in the text message and nothing.. the lack of awareness and respect from these companies is crazy.…

I’m looking for something where I can put in my salary when I started my job, and all of my raises and the dates of the raises, and figure out if I’m getting screwed or not. Also our yearly reviews are coming up so I’m looking to figure out what kind of raise I need to make sure, again, that I don’t get screwed. Thanks in advance!

The title is very summed up but I'll break down my situation. I know Michigan is not a renter-friendly state but I am renting a place with 2 other guys that I don't know at all. The day I went to sign the lease, one of them got a 30-day eviction notice. Now, the other roommate and I are scrambling to find another tenant, this should not be my concern. I signed a lease but they are having us redo it when we find a 3rd; so I am going to get the other tenants on board and negotiate to not be liable for eachother if one moves out. I don't mind helping to find other roommates but I should not have to pay 3x my rent if they decide to leave (I don't know them and I can't afford it – full time student/worker). It shouldn't work this way.…

I'm in my mid 30s and am working in my third organization. At the last two places they didn't strongly enforce start or end time of work day, so I would typically start later than 9, work while I ate, and then be finished at 5 or maybe a little earlier. My current company is a hospital (so open 24/7/365) and I work an office position (well free to WFH or in the office), doing largely independent work. My boss INSISTS we start at 8, take a full hour for lunch, and don't end before 5. It drives me insane. I don't mind working while I eat and really don't want a random free hour in the middle of the day. It takes me 10 minutes to eat lunch and I exercise before work. An hour isn't long enough to go do anything and make it back. Every day I…

Not sure where to go with this but I could use some advice. I’ve been told by an HR representative that there is an ongoing investigation on me regarding drinking or smoking while on a zoom team meeting. I denied the allegation as I have some work ethic and respect for my job, along with 2 children that I support so doing something like drinking or smoking during working hours is something unfathomable to me. They’re going to meet with me again soon and I’m not really sure what to do if I am fired over a false accusation. working here for more than 5 years zoom calls are not recorded to my knowledge basically hearsay I’m also actively breastfeeding my youngest What are my options? Edit* I’m a remote worker

If you have a 2 weeks notice and hours later they terminated you, do you have right to severance or any protections? Thanks.

I worked at a cafe with a boss who treated us all like thieves and slackers and yelled at us about everything. I was warned when I started working there not to take it personally when he yells at me, he’s just like that with everyone (what a guy.) This new girl started working and showed up for her first day of training. What does the boss do? He yells at her for no reason, of course. So she quit on the spot and never came back. The boss was flabbergasted. I left about a month later and a lot of other coworkers quit before then too. No idea how that place stays open with the turnaround they have there but I have so much respect for that girl who just left. Didn’t stand for mistreatment even for a second. Hope she’s doing well.
