I work as a sales rep for a Fortune 500 company. A couple of weeks ago, I got a DUI while driving company vehicle. Police station breathalyzer indicated 0.09. Limit is 0.08. I love my job and I am a good performer and liked by management. My boss, his boss want to keep me. HR don’t know what to do. Licence is Suspended for 3 month. No charges yet as it’s criminal. Best scenario. Charges are dropped Bad scenario, I get fined for dui but they drop the 0.09. Worst scenario. I get convicted and I have a breathalyzer in a car I buy and it becomes my expense. Worse worse scenario I lose the job. Has one of you been through something similar? Is HR just waiting to kick me out so there wouldn’t be liability if charges are dropped after I’m being fired? Updating my resume and creating…

What are solutions to the oversaturation of applications. I seen posts of 300 people competing for the same job ? W Was it ever this bad? ​ HR gets paid to handle all these applications but 299 people will get nothing.

So I have been working for 1 year now and it's my first ever job, but it's been absolute garbage and I'm struggling to contain my anger at the bullshit they keep pulling first of all is the shifts that they keep giving me, when I started it wasn't so bad, like 3-4 days a week all at 12 hours, but then after the third week I got my schedule filled to the brim with 12 hours every day of the week and my boss would give me sudden unpaid overtime ranging from 2 more hours and more, the worst part would be that she would sometimes give even more so I could help with bingo, not even joking, at this point I was basically working almost as much as both my parents combined, it really sucks that she just does this with no warning or hints at all and…

My aunt (who's like a second mother to me) has worked for one of the country's leading insurance companies for 30 years. She had her evaluation today and is getting a whopping $100.00 bonus and a whopping $0.20 raise (minimum wage just increased by $0.60). I said she should look at retiring because thats BS and can't afford to just quit but shes 10 years too young to take regular retirement and she doesn't qualify for early retirement because of some stupid rule.

Are the people themselves. When pushed, “we” turn into “I”. People will complain about wrong work culture and then they go and order off amazon. Its nice to have comfort, but moment you have comfort on expense of somebody else (usually minorities who are exploited the most), youre no better than the man. And its simple really 1) unionize 2) boycott shitty employers 3) push legislators to change work laws. Lets be realistic. Everyone will have to work based on their skills and recieve based on their needs only if people all band up together. Not try to play this rigged system, but changing it instead.

I posted here last Tuesday (Tuesday for my country) I posted about how i wanted to quit and you guys gave me the push to do it. So i had a conversation and made it very clear that i wanted to quit and said “I'm giving in my two weeks notice” so i made it pretty clear unfortunately i forgot that in my contract it has to be written notice. My boss messaged me today and said “So we actually need written notice if you decide to move forward with it” So now after 5 days i have to wait another 2 weeks until i can leave. How the hell do i get out of that one. I hate it so much and am annoyed she decided to wait another 5 days to tell me that. I know why she decided to wait 5 days, it's because she wants me…
