My “old school” boss took me off the schedule, after puting my two weeks in, because I needed to go do paperwork for my new job. This attitude is why I quit.

Reddit, I want your help in sending these letters to members of Congress

TL; DR I have attached 4 letter templates for you all to send to your Senators and Representatives that advocate for better pay, paid leave, and election/voting reform What's this about? One of the biggest obstacles to a better world lies in money. It's difficult for everyday people like you and me to be directly involved in policymaking. We can, however, wield power in voting. As the title suggests, I've written out templates for you guys to send to your Congressmen. Basically, I write from the perspective of a voter who is advocating for issue XYZ. All you have to do is insert the name of your Congressmen as well as your own information to make it seem as though you are the one who wrote it. People say they “don't have the time” to contact their Representatives, so I am doing this to help everyone out as much as…

F me for trying to get a better paying job

Owner comes to interview me. Arrives 90 minutes late. No apology. I had to pay 25 dollars per hour to park near the location. So literally this cost me quite a bit of money. Got a haircut. 30. Parking 50 dollars. Interview went great. At end he says “we will call you tomorrow with our decision.” That was Tuesday. Not a word.

It just makes me feel like a…

A couple of months ago I applied for a position that I didn’t get due to failing the physical strength test. This recruiter contacted me wanting me for a CS position, the position I initially applied for. I sat on the interview call for 30 minutes waiting on the hiring manager.

Antiwork (and dumb luck) helped me get a great job

I come from a pretty old school area (western pa) of the us. Growing up i learned the value of a hard days work, and that if you gave the right effort, and respect, youre job would take care of you. My grandfather like imparting pieces of wisdom like “if a man pays you a dollar for a job, you give them a dollar tens worth of work.” When i was in high school i went to a trade school to study masonry. I thought it would be a great bit of security, after all people always need houses. I then graduated in 2008 right when the housing market had collapsed, and no one was building anywhere, let alone in my impoverished chunk of appalachia. Finding myself with a worthless degree, and nowhere near the grades (because of tech school) needed for any kind of scholarship, i found myself with…
