These are from an application I submitted yesterday. They repeated a couple times. It seems obvious that they want to make sure applicants will not try for a work life balance but is the repetition intended to prove a lie or something? You answer one way then the next time you put a different answer, how do they determine which is how you really feel?

Apparently our pay is tied to H2B wages which have gone down this year said my boss. How is it that everything is inflating except our pay!?

I am located in Florida and have already contacted the DOL, but have yet to receive a response. What is my best course of action here? I am still owed over $500 in PTO hours that should have been paid out to me.

Basically I want to know if this is even legal my job rounds your hours down and or up so say you clock in at 6:55 they will go ahead and just round up to 7:00 or for instance you clock out at 3:21 or something they will round down to 3:15 is that legal? Aren’t you suppose to be paid for every minute once you clock in ? It’s honestly some bullshit

Hey, all. I currently work as a data analyst at a govt contractor (have been working for about 6 months) and am trying to get into a job on the fed side since it sounds like a pretty cush lifestyle and comes with a lot of benefits & stability. Any advice on getting started/getting a foot in the door? Also, does anyone have experience working for the fed govt? Rn, the company I'm at pays well enough, but the work is menial and there's no upward mobility. I feel like if I go to the fed side and put in my time now, I'll be able to retire early with a pension and the pay is extremely transparent and it's pretty much a guaranteed increase each year. I'm fine with making less money than private if it means I can have a stable pay scale over time. Plus once my…

I'm in a squadron within the military that works shifts. I would rather not get too specific beyond that. We do two day shifts, two night shifts, and then get four days off. Each shift is twelve hours. It's a very physically and mentally demanding job, so getting a good work life balance is really important. Every member of the UK military gets 38 days of leave, to use as they want. But my squadron has a weird policy. One day off costs us one day of leave (as you might expect). Two days costs three days of leave, three costs four, and four costs six. So if you book off four days at a time (an entire shift rotation), which is what most personnel do, then you're actually getting about 25 days of leave a year, rather than 38. I went looking through the all the regulations, publications, and…

Basically the title. I’ve been rocking back and forth between staying at my current job and leaving almost every other week. I work with kids (K-5) with diagnosed behavior disorders and special needs. While I absolutely adore these children, I have been feeling so burnt out. I am the one employee on my team that seems to do everything. When I bring concerns about student behavior to my boss they are shut down with “different strategies” to use. While I appreciated this, the strategies aren’t working and I feel like a doormat to these kids. I always feel like I’m doing something wrong. My boss and I have a weird relationship as she confides in me about a lot of stuff and it makes me scared to quit. I feel stuck. So the question is, do I stick this out for 4 1/2 more months, or do I put in…
