If/when you achieve financial stability or freedom, what would you like to do?

I have noticed people complaining that art degrees or jobs are for the rich and privileged. I think most people would like to pursue something creative or artistic when they have enough money to not do a job. What would you like to do if you are free from robotic jobs?

My employer is forcing the welding staff to wear safety glasses with foam lining (think goggles for motocross style) that specifically say on the package “DO NOT WEAR WHILE WELDING”

Who do we call/what do we do? We are being threatened with being sent home for not complying the first time and further punishment for second offenses. Edit: they are not supposed to be worn while welding because when sparks land on them (sometimes they make it around the hood and into your face, it happens) the foam melts and fuses to our face. Taking the glasses off is fun

Instant regret from employer asking for candidates to submit an in-depth “optional” presentation before even offering first interviews

Applying to jobs recently and got this email from an employer requesting we put together a presentation that would have taken hours. It's “optional” but pretty clear they weren't going to consider anyone who didn't do it. I don't mind doing that if I'm in the final stages of the process with an employer but I HADN'T EVEN BEEN ASKED TO DO A FIRST INTERVIEW, not a phone screen, nothing. I just deleted the email and said screw that. Got the second email 10 minutes later rescinding the request after some “much welcomed feedback” from the pool of candidates 🤣
