I've been getting tired of setting appointments for job openings, and whoever I'm supposed to interview with arrives more than 30 minutes late. Why have me pick a time if you're not going to have the decency to call at that time. I've got a new rule now that if you're more than 15 minutes late, I won't pick up the phone. Time is valuable, and you're wasting mine. Funny how executives always say time is money but then treat employees like they have an infinite amount of it. When they say time is money, what they really mean their time is worth more than yours.

Thought this group might find this interesting! https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/government-raising-minimum-wage-to-2120/BAJVYSWR6VFLK6LRWQJNJMM7HQ/ The minimum wage is being raised by $1.20 an hour to $21.20 from the start of April, Workplace Relations and Safety Minister Michael Wood announced today. Amid rising complaints from businesses that they will have less than two months to prepare for the increase, the Government announced the changes this morning. “Many Kiwis who earn the minimum wage have gone above and beyond in our fight against COVID-19. We remain committed to supporting New Zealanders by raising their wages, as we continue to recover and rebuild from the pandemic,” Wood said in a statement. “Raising the minimum wage will directly benefit approximately 300,000 workers, and will help many households that have been most impacted by the effects of COVID. The starting-out and training minimum wage will also increase from $16 to $16.96 per hour from 1 April 2022, Wood said. Council of…
Buckle up, peeps. It's a long one. I've (29) been working as a dental hygienist in the state of Connecticut for 6 months now. I am not new to hygiene but I am new to the area. I have never worked in a dental office like this ever in my life. It started out ok. Everyone was nice enough. Some people had attitude problems but didn't seem personal so whatever. About a month after I started the other hygienist (in her 60s) there called the dentist and told her that I was saying all kinds of nasty things about her. Mentioning how I didn't like the office, how I didn't like working with the dentist, etc. She would twist a lot of what I was saying into something completely untrue. The doctor confronted me about this and I was honest saying I don't know why she would say all of…

I’m in a university that’s in the middle of nowhere and it’s known to be easier than most, but the workload is still so insane that I’m getting very close to suicidal. Teachers who made it don’t care about the workload they’re putting out is too much for just even one lecture. They work at their pace and expect you to keep up. But don’t account for mental illnesses or just basic fatigue. Most students just shut up and like any capitalist, fall into the hustler mindset and grind away saying this is how it is. Of course people like me who can’t survive in a place like that seeking answers here is dangerous too but people like to say what they want and fee like they contribute to something. But when it gets to something like 9 pages of math per hour for someone with ADHD or worse, we…
