This is just a way for companies to still make a profit off you with data mining, even if you didn’t get the job. We need to unify and propose new laws stating a company must delete your retained info after 5-10 years if you don’t use an account or service. I lost track about how many accounts I had to create just to apply and this makes me fearful for my digital privacy

Seems like the mentality a lot of middle class and rich people have is that poor people have no right to enjoy themselves until they get rich. THEN they can enjoy themselves. It's such an out of touch take and is unrealistic because eventually you're going to burn out. The fact that someone can bust their ass 12 hours a day and be called lazy for wanting to unwind is ridiculous. And look at the people who never end up giving themselves a break. They usually have a drinking problem and a failed marriage because of all the stress. It isn't worth it. A lot of us don't wanna go down the path our previous generations did because we saw how it destroyed them. And instead of them realizing their mistakes, they blame us. It's some nerve really.

I have been working in academia for 2 years, but my boss is a mediocre narcissist hypocrite who loves to hire and exploit people from third world countries. Luckily I got my greencard thanks to my wife recently, so this animal can’t use the tactic about the lack of funding for making me work double to reach our goal. I’m heavily considering to quit, the only problem is that for the future of my career, I unfortunately need to leave in good terms, I have been here 2 years and he is my boss. Everybody is going to reach out to him to ask about my work and my persona (which is highly professional and ethical). I noticed now that he cannot use the visa tactic, he wants to keep me around for research publications (which he was very clear he would not help me at all) but is just…

I am from Spain and it is rare to see someone who has more than one job. Is this normal in the United States? I understand that the cost of living in different areas has a lot to do with it, but it still amazes me that people have to look for other jobs to cover all their expenses.

I called out yesterday because I was having a mental breakdown and physically couldn't even get ready. I felt bad but I went on a nice walk and spent the time to make my own UGC profile. But yea I barely slept last night because of the anxiety Im feeling for having to go back to work today. I plan on putting in my 2 weeks soon anyway bcuz due to family issues I'll have to leave the city. I'm tired asf and Id rather spend the day growing my UGC brand and making my own website than going to work and answering phones all day where I know I'll be miserable and anxious. I just feel guilty if I do.

There I said it. I am supposed to be working right now but I don’t care anymore.

I assume this is a general sentiment for this sub, but… Today is just a lot, and I need to vent. I'm a millennial, born in 1990. I saw the life my parents had, my mom worked for the government as a minor ministry employee and my dad was an occasional general contractor. They owned a large home, before eventual divorce saw everyone go their own way. My parents stressed to me the importance of going to Post-secondary school, and I was a child so I believed in their wisdom. I went to Post-secondary for Interactive Multimedia Design, a Bachelor of Information Technology. I have a degree and a diploma in programming and worked full-time hours while I did it in a service position, but gradually learned as the years of the schooling went on (you know, after the debts are already taken out) that the information that my parents…

Currently working as a finance analyst leaning more towards the DA side as we are moving our data into Vena. If you’re a finance analyst or DA I’d really like to help you with your job in return for some mentorship on how I can get things done more efficiently in excel, sql and power bi because I find it more meaningful to work with real data. If you don’t feel comfortable with sharing company data and just need someone to strategise on how to automate certain tasks I’m also really up for that. At this point in my career im really eager to learn before and after work so I can upskill. Timezone: BST Tools I use at work atm: excel, power bi, sql (access), Vena, python (automate excel tasks)

Title says it all, today I went to work and I got pulled by my manager into the meeting room. Was really confused but I didn't think I'd actually get fired. I was so flustered after all I could say is thank you for the opportunity before I left and said goodbye to everyone. To be honest, I think they fired me because I called her out (in the friendliest way) about accusing me of skipping time when I wasn't. They kinda knew of my home situation where I basically got assaulted multiple times so it felt weird to get fired with this situation. I've grown up in an abusive household, prices are so high I only could've afforded roommates. I felt so broken when I got back I just cired the most tears I've had in ages, it's not right. My eyes feel like they're burning. I'm so tired,…
