FUCK ME IF IM INJURED I GUESS
i hate how difficult jobs make it for you to be out if your injured. especialy when its work related. i work on an electric jack and a part broke causing it to suddenly stop, jerking my body foward real hard tweaking my back. everytime i gotta call out i gotta drag my ass to a fucking doctor to “prove” i cant work and get a note blah blah blah. you fuckers clearly see the jack broke on me AND i have a witness that vouched for me. i literly hunched my ass out of work having to stop every 5 seconds from back spasms.. but nah i gotta call and see all these damn people making it a damn headache when i should be fucking resting. and im not even getting paid for my callouts when its there fault. i have to be out for an “extended time” for…
As a highly skilled AppSec engineer with considerable expertise in my 20 ~ 30ish, I recently underwent two interviews—one with a prominent Fintech company and another with a well-established bank. I received commendations for my exceptional technical knowledge and was recognized as a person of admirable character and a positive attitude. My responses during the interview were consistently deemed superior to other candidates. However, to my disappointment, I was ultimately informed that I was not considered a cultural fit for these organizations due to their purportedly overwhelming workloads and the challenges associated with managing certain stakeholders known for their rudeness. What baffles me is that this determination was made after just the initial round of technical interviews, without any detailed discussion of the specific workload or an opportunity for me to express my willingness to take on challenges. Furthermore, when asked about my tolerance for risk in stakeholder management, I…
Because red store logo letters make so much sense for a water-related store. The rest of the re-design related to outdoor leisure and nature.
Pretty much scammed to do a night shift
So, this just happened to my wife. Her colleague called in sick who as supposed to be oncall and will need to do a night shift. My wife agreed to cover her, since it'll be considered overtime and wouldn't need to do a day shift the following day, naturally. Prior to the night shift, she finished work at 4pm, and was told to start her night shift at 11pm. Just before 11pm, she was told to start at 1am instead, ok no big deal. She started her shift as told at 1am. At 6:30am, her manager called her, saying that as she had at least “8 hour rest between shifts” prior to starting her night shift, her night shift will be considered a normal rate shift without any penalties, and that she “shouldn't rush to finish” in the morning and should continue working a full shift until late morning/mid day…
That way boxes don’t pile up chaotically around the office and the temp won’t have to sift through burdensome binders to sort through shipping what to where.
TLDR: I drove 50 mins because they didn’t bother to let me know that they filled the position, and waisted to get rid of me with a bullshit offer they knew I would not accept Will be moving to Warsaw, but currently living in Fort Wayne. Went to Menards, after securing an interview online in one of their time slots for a position at their store full time. After showing up, filling out their application (which was oddly heavy on asking me about how I feel about marijuana and stealing from their company) I filled the App properly as I don’t smoke or steal. They proceeded to tell me that they filled all of their positions last week, and offered me a manager in training position. I was intrigued at first, but that involves training at their location, and then working 50 mins away.
Why is it so difficult to get a job?
Background: I'm from the UK, moved abroad to teach physics and now I'd like to return to the UK and get a job in something vaguely related to STEM. When I started applying for jobs in February, I found that lots of STEM employers have defence contracts with the government. It turns out that I would need security clearance to work for them and a requirement is that I would have had to have lived in the UK for the last 5 years. I thought it would only be a few employers but I've been applying for months now and I'm just getting immediate, automatic rejections from every single job I apply for. I've applied to 50+ jobs in the last few months, all entry level, and I'm absolutely losing my mind. What's the point in even having a physics degree if literally no one will hire me in my…
