A coworker in anger throws a 3/8's drillbit and it hits you. It leaves a puncture mark even through 2 layers of clothing.

So I’m applying for a position at several different companies, all the same role. It’s an industry with very high turnover so within a few days of applying, three companies offered me an interview and all asked what my expected salary was (and like an idiot, I told them the industry average). Assuming I get more than one offer, what then? Do I lie and say I’ve been offered more elsewhere and ask them to match it? Do I set a higher salary expectation? Extra benefits? I’ve never been in this situation before and realistically know these companies need me more than I need them.

The previous organization that I worked in didn't pay my FnF until after 3 months of my last day at work. And now it has been 4 months and they are not providing my Experience Letter. They reject my calls, don't reply to my emails. My current company has started asking me for these Documents, otherwise, I may be fired. I can't file a legal complaint because it will affect my future. I have served 3 Months of my official notice period. I am also a trader mostly stocks and crypto, so thinking of quitting the job. Any suggestions.

My grandpa's brother is 76 and has really worn bottom teeth. He was telling me today that the dentist wants to charge 50k to have them all capped. I could help my self and just yelled “wtf”. It just discusts me how predatory American health care is. I honestly haven't had health insurance in about 7 years and feel it's pointless as if I get seriously Injured that basically my life is over. Although I've always felt that if I did get hurt bad I'd just duck tap my self together and spend the money to go to a different country to get fixes up. Anyway I had to rant because it was annoying me so much today. I'm gonna take a deep breath now and go to bed haha.

I have already accepted the job, started working, on the payroll, etc. when they email me and say my one reference isn't good enough, I need 3, even though it isn't required. I told them “is this a personal or legal preference? Why is it being asked of me when I already started the job?” And they said “well actually it's fine if you don't want to add more.” I asked why they needed this when I already started the job, and they said “for the application.” What on gods green earth is the reasoning… I don't even like this job. So I told them no I'm not bothering/wasting more reference letters for a mediocre job that pays under what i need to save money in my city.
