I'm in my mid 20s. Went back to college and started looking for “summer jobs” before I go back to school. To my findings, there are full time 40-50 year olds working min wage retail jobs. (grocery stores, clothing, hardware etc) I call and send in application to 20+ retail stores. Never hear back. Yet the job market is “red hot”. WTH. I thought retail was once easy to get teenage jobs for a quick buck. I guess nothing is easy these days.

So, My employer has a referral and recruitment bonus program. If you refer someone and they end up getting hired , the employee who submitted the referral gets a recruitment bonus (payout of about 2.5k). A while ago they updated the program stating that people that first work on a contract basis and then get hired now also apply for this program. All they need to do is submit the name of the employee that referred them in their motivational letter and then have the employee request the referal bonus. And this where the problem starts: Most of the time you dont need to write a seperate motivational letter if you where already working as a contractor. So you just apply if they ask you to and you get your contract and are then employed by instead of contracted. HR is denying all referral bonus requests for those people on…

” A subreddit for those who want to end work ” I'm struggling to understand how the world would work without people working. I can understand wanting better working conditions but “end work”? How would that look like. Where would your food come from, who would maintain infrastructure etc etc?

Sent this email to @ ALL in the company – had many of the employees reach out and thank me. ​ Dear All, This will be my final email to all of you. I am resigning effective immediately today from my position as IT Network Manager at (company). I would like to say I have never worked with such fine people on a day-to-day basis. All of you deserve so much. You deserve to be treated fairly, rewarded for hard work, and be recognized and advanced in your careers. At the very least, all of your salaries should be raised to cover inflation. Every other company is doing that, so why not here? My departure is in no way in connection with any of you, it is geared more toward personal opinions on policies by management and wanting to advance my own career. It has hard to believe that I…

This manager is the only one who's generally a bitch. Just unpleasant and really full of herself, but this time seemed a bit too far imo. I've already told the upper management at my job that I sometimes get attacks and have to spend a while in there, I guess she wasn't informed. I get that it's work time that I wasn't using to actually work, but as I was leaving she said 'if you need a break just tell us'. Why the fuck would I ask for an official, clocked out break from work to go to the bathroom?? I can't predict how long this kind of thing takes, it usually isn't that bad. already was considering taking the summer off from this job because my parents are fine with me staying at the house and hanging out, might just actually do it. Note: I work in a pet…

I have never been more frustrated in my life. I hope this is the appropriate place for this, but I need to get this out. When I moved into my apartment 2 years ago, my rent was $1107/mo. A new company took over in the middle of my lease with the old one, and I either had to sign a renewal or move, where I was subject to $287- yes, you read that right, $287 rental increase (I did the the math). I currently work full time in a restaurant while I’m looking for a full time job and I just got screwed on my paycheck. We are paid every 2 weeks on a paycheck instead of nightly, and I have requested both of my pay stubs immediately, because my earned wages and paid wages do not match up. I planned on keeping my restaurant job while I worked for…
