Speaking as an American here (28M), I’m not very optimistic of my future here. Unchecked Capitalism continues to see our nation prop up a select lucky few at the detriment of millions. Technology companies (specifically Bay Area ones) have gone basically unregulated for years, and I have a strong suspicion they’re driving the current divide even further. When are we going to do something about this? I’m tired of waiting on government.. tired of waiting for fair treatment from employers.. tired of being abused by student loans… tired of not being able to afford a place to live where I work… tired of needing to burn myself out to survive here. The working class of America needs to go on a collective strike. Employers need us just as much as we need them. If we don’t stand up for ourselves, the divide will get to a point where the working…

Hi I'm from the Uk and was a lurker but have decided to join because of the interview, I was annoyed at how it was presented and the slander 🙁 by anti antiwork 🙂 commenters. I am 20's but dont have great literacy skills or computer knowledge, I was a Young carer and left school at 14 because i got sick and couldn't cope but hopefully will make up for it in persistence. We had over a half dozen articles which I posted the comment you can see in the picture, if you have any input feel free to comment or msg. I have never used reddit or social media so its a bit confusing if I dont respond its probably because I've got confused 🙂 https://preview.redd.it/nzuy7s29n0h81.png?width=1174&format=png&auto=webp&s=3d610218309e6a0b7f6366165ce70c7fb7005913

It feels more and more like there’s the first application to “get their attention” and then a second one actually apply for the job. Multiple employers have read my app, said they like it, then tell me to do another one through another job application service. Why is this? The pay is also usually crap

I'm 28 and I am currently living in Nevada. I work security and I am only making $10hr. I have been working here for almost 4 years now and I'm underpaid and burnt out already. Even if my job fired me or I quit it won't be a huge loss since I still live with my dad and he is OK with me living with him. I am tired of waking up early, working 8 1/2 hour days, doing overtime(there were weeks where I did 12 hour shifts 5 days in a row sometimes for 2 weeks), only having 5 hours to myself in the evening. The only reason why I have not quit is because I worry about the backlash from my dad. My dad has a boomer mentality of work where he wants me to show strong corporate loyalty. I've already been applying to other jobs and I've…

I am honestly losing motivation whilst applying to jobs.My backgroundBiology degree ( specialized in Fungal and Microbiology) ….. 2.5 years of Undergraduate Research experience….. 1.5 years of experience in industry doing QC……… 2.5 years as a Research Assistant at a top Research Univ……. I apply to 10 to 20 jobs a day……. only thing I hear back is the auto reply of ” We have received your application”…….. No REJECTION NO UPDATES NOTHING AT ALL for weeks or months…. TELL ME SOMETHING.

I work entirely from home. Does anyone have tips/tricks/hacks that make working from home a better experience? I have multiple zoom meetings every day, so I can't totally disappear.
