So here I am, I’ve completed 3 interviews and been offered 2. All have offered me a good package, but there has been a common thread throughout all of them that has really irked me somewhat. Let me tell you, when I go into an interview, I try to impress, I state my shortcomings and weaknesses early on to set the stage, and then try to sell myself. That’s the hardest part, but there are small things that you can do that require almost no effort that can go a long way. Things such as: Not using profanity Not wearing an iron maiden tshirt and a baseball cap, instead dressing smart and looking clean. Not showing up to the interview 15 minutes late Bad mouthing previous candidates. So why is it so hard for interviewers / C Levels / Managers / Team leaders to follow these very basic unwritten rules?…

Our designated Human Resources is on maternity leave for a few months, and it's coinciding with a stressful transition period of Return to Office. One of my bosses, very high up in the company has taken it upon himself to be interim HR. Is this ethical? This person obviously has a totally different set of obligations to the company and has so far just been shutting down very reasonable grievances and I fear that this person would retaliate if I brought anything up. Can anyone just decide to be HR?

I was 19 and didn't understand how big of a red flag this was (stupidly) until I became a full time employee. Staff were hired in February and then a second batch in July. The July employees were making $300 more and someone found out and there were quiet complaints in the office. This manager gathered us together (interns and new associates) and told us that because our salary information was outlined in our contract it was considered confidential and we were effectively breaching contract by disclosing our pay and we could lose our jobs. The February employees didn't get the raise until a year later even though they had 6 months more experience.

I have been watching YouTube videos about living off grid and camping in cars… etc Their faces look happy and calm. They enjoy their time minute to minute. They actually sit down and eat and enjoy their meal. Why jobs are making life so complicated. Its hard to find a job. You can get rejected just because HR or hiring manager didn’t like based on their personal opinion of you You get a job and it drains you and makes you sad and depressed while managers act like their gods controlling your fate. All of us experienced feeling, disrespected, undervalued, unappreciated. And worse most jobs now get away with taking away your lunch break. Which is a basic human need. If you think about it everything is free in nature, food, water, even energy. Its like we are paying for whats already there. I am sick and tired of this,…

I am currently employed, but am taking this opportunity with the labor shortage in my area to get involved in a new field with more pay that would usually require experience to apply to. Every time I apply to a job on Indeed, they receive my application. Over half the time that I am offered an interview, they have me hand-write my application again. It’s so fucking frustrating. That’s all. Just employers not doing their due diligence.

Let me start by saying that I absolutely understand every story I’ve read on here about people quitting their jobs, and I love it. I’ve done it myself. Walked the fuck out because of places not generally respecting human life. However, with my latest job I decided to do something different. Instead of quitting and just hoping I would move on to something better, and develop another dream to be disillusioned with later on which I’m sure many of you can relate to, my coworkers and I instead decided to stand and fight. As coworkers, we’ve gone through all of the classic corporate bullshit together; Unsafe work conditions, unfair treatment and incompetence from management, and the one we all love the most, exploitive compensation and pay structure. We make a company millions upon millions of dollars while their common worker absolutely and undeniably struggles to pay for food and bills.…
