I just got a call from a company interested in my resume they found on Indeed (I haven’t updated in a couple years tbh). I work in mental health so my skills and time are chronically undervalued – they offered me the same hourly rate that I started off at – to work with the most severe patients (before you hit hospitalization/incarceration). I have shy of 10 years of experience and advanced degrees. Wtf, I keep telling myself with the state of the world – one thing I’ll always have will be job security…

I have been looking for a job for like a year, and every single advertisement always asks for job experience, how do they expect me to get experience if no one hires me to get experience? I don't know what i am doing wrong… I left high school to get into trades but besides the inhumane conditions where i was away from home for like 13 hours for 400 euros (minimum wage here is 750€), i didn't really like the job (Car Mechanic Assistant), so i decided to leave, but couldn't find any job so i guess I'll go back and finish high school. Im 17 years old so i can't exactly understand what I'm supposed to do? I just want a job where I'm told to do something, do it, get paid fairly and go home… For now I'm living with my parents and I'm going back to high…

I read about a new law in New York that requires employers to include salary ranges for job postings. Luckily my whole industry is funded by taxes so we must be transparent, but I remember being frustrated by this in the past and I wonder: Job seekers: do you find it a waste of time when you interview for jobs only to find out the wages are insufficient? Does the lack of transparency in a company create a lack of trust? Hiring parties: do you find it a waste of time to review and interview candidates who might not have applied if given this information? Would transparency establish more trust and value during a time when companies are competing for labor? How does shielding salary range information benefit the customer, employee, applicant or company as a whole? Why is a law necessary? I’m very curious! Y’all know any companies choosing…

I know this is supposed to be an ad for turbotax but I can only feel like it's saying you do your work and we will take your taxes. The rich family in this ad are creepy. https://preview.redd.it/ixn1xhwyv3h81.png?width=1060&format=png&auto=webp&s=df52d8393438d85f1be1ff568a0595f8e2252b50

The Giant near me is staffed primarily by teenagers. I go there once or twice a week and they never get to sit, I've heard them talk about not getting breaks and having to work pretty late. I mentioned to the (16 year old) cashier that Aldi cashiers get to sit and she was shocked. Then I told her they should consider discussing a union and she said she didn't even know that was an option. I'd love to bring them some info or a cheat sheet about organizing but I don't knot white to look. Anyone have something like a onesheet I could use?

Does anyone know a website to look for remote jobs? I’ve applied to so many from indeed, remote.co and I still haven’t gotten any luck. At this point I feel like the jobs that are being posted aren’t real.

I am in my first ever supervisor role, and I want to make sure I’m treating the people I’m in charge of fairly and supporting them any way that I can. Maybe you can give me some advice or tell me what qualities your favorite supervisor had/has?

They'd have to give us a guarranteed basic income or better labor rights then right
