Clifton Strengthsfinder
If your employer asks you to take the Clifton Strengthsfinder test what do they use it for? What are the potential implications for this exam? If you or others have taken this at work how have you seen it used?

Was this response appropriate?
My job is a counselor at a college, I help students with their classes and what not. For weeks, the dorm students(we have a small dorm housing here) have been working on getting a garden started and they been building a little greenhouse. Today, a strong severe storm rolled through the area, I was working late, me and couple of students moved the little green house to a safe place but the wind still tossed it around and slightly damaged it. My “boss” blew up at those students blaming them since they properly didn’t secure but it wasn’t their fault so I had to speak out….. This is what I said in our group chat.
Title pretty much says it – I have a hard time understanding the mentality of anti work, but mainly because I chose to work on the things I liked, and found a way to monetize them. Am I the enemy here?
So I work at home for a major insurance company. My boss reached out to me, said that leadership wants to install a monitoring program cause my phone system is having an issue where I’m not getting enough calls. (There blaming it on me despite several people having same issue & countless tickets were submitted to I.T) I reached out to Hr that I’m against this & feel like I’m been targeted then 2 days later no help from HR, the Senior director of operations gets on a meeting with me says “since we own the computer we’re allowed to & you have no privacy” At this point I’m sick of this job, my hours were cut in half for 4 month straight got sent home early everyday now they want monitor me 24/7 at work.

Report or Don’t Report?
I’ve been at my current job for almost 3 years. It is a requirement that we get a performance evaluation annually. I have never received one and I cannot increase my pay grade without one. I have ask my boss several times about it and he keeps saying he’s “working on it” and he has “so many balls in the air right now”. The last time I asked him, he “jokingly” said “why are you in such a hurry, you have 2 incomes”. He then also mentioned my gender and age….I KNOW RIGHT! Anyways, I’ve started the EEOC process which is taking awhile and as I wait, I begin to feel guilt for wanting to report him. He has no idea I was so offended by how he dismissed me and mocked my request that is a requirement for him to do. I just emailed him again this week to…

Homelessness is a global “local” problem
Isn't it weird how every major city in the world seemingly talks about homelessness as a local problem, all at the same time, like the problem is staring mayors in the face and they can't see it. A local problem doesn't happen in all major cities in a country. It's doesn't span generations everywhere, and doesn't have the same root cause everywhere all at once. I'll let you guess the real cause that everyone in charge seems to conveniently forget. A clue: work is a big part of the problem, directly and indirectly.
