I'm picking up a part time job for a few months to help with a huge 3 week west coast road trip later this year and had a interview lined up at 4:30 today at Home Depot but got a part time overnight job at Walmart instead b/c it's closer to home and pays 3 dollars more an hour than Depot. So I call to let them know instead of just not showing up and the woman on the phone says “So your just quiting on your first day, oh ok I see what kind of person you are now” I say no ma'am I've never had a job with you to quit, I'm just calling to let you know I had an interview and I didn't want to be put down as a no show. I got a job with the same shift that pays $3 more an hour…

I'm on Medicaid. I'm only a little below my state's income cutoff. Without Medicaid, the cost of my healthcare would be close to $3,000 at minimum per year when you factor in insurance premiums, the deductible, copays, etc. So needless to say, Medicaid is an absolute necessity for me. The thing is, I kind of hate my job. It's a “good” job. I like the company I work for, I have benefits. I'm just burned out and sick of spending my day dealing with rude patients. A new position just opened up in my company. It's right up my alley. Relevant experience for my field of study, less patient interaction. And apparently the pay is better though I don't know the exact amount. The pay rate is a problem. If I earn even a dollar over my state's cutoff, I lose my Medicaid. My employer could pay me a whole…

Let's say we survive the climate crisis. Boomers are getting older and sicker and the majority will, statistically, die out in the next 10 years. I've never worked in an office or even grunt job (think childcare/Costco) without Boomers. When we lose such a huge percentage of the wealthy and job- holders, what could happen to our economy, housing market, job market, etc?

Let me start by saying I'm a college student who has recently given up on school. I can't financially afford to attend my classes due to unemployment. I have severe uterine fibroids, this means I'm on a narcotic to control the pain & hemorrhage 7 to 9 days a month. I'm not totally disabled, I want to work, but all resources available to me are turned down because of lack of insurance to have surgery & my inability to public transportation. Did I mention I live with my mom in a one bedroom & she's totally disabled with limited income. I'm a professional truck driver, but can't get off the pain meds so I can get a medical card to get my cdl back. I do have an F endorsement for now. However, my cdl is a class A with an passenger endorsement. What can I do to provide for…

I applied to this place in Nov '19, and they just called me while I'm working and asked me if I was still interested in their shitty 11$ an hour job. They ghosted me around Thanksgiving that year, after coming in for an interview and being told I would get an offer. Their excuse was “systems went down” and I never heard back despite multiple attempts to reach out. I was on unemployment with covid on the horizon. I have a much higher paying job RIGHT NEXT DOOR now. It took everything in me not to just laugh and tell them to go fuck themselves. But that doesn't mean I said it nicely either! Looks like companies are starting to hurt lol

I work as the only interior designer for a tiny architecture firm. I was hired about 8 months ago and I was so pumped. However, after being there a while, I feel that the title was misleading. It should have been described as a CAD technician position. That's what I do 98% of the time – pushing a mouse carrying out someone else's ideas. It is very boring, mindless, and unfulfilling for what I thought would be a creative position. My boss is a very nice person and I don't want to take advantage but I also don't believe my job requires me to commute everyday and stay in glorified cubicle until the clock strikes 5. I also get the feeling he hires less experienced people so he can pay his employees less. (I've been in the industry for 5 years) I recently figured out that my boss either has…

I got a 3% raise and cant afford the gas to get to work, but at least the CEOs are happy.
