The job I am quitting is bagging groceries at Kroger, so it's not like they can't replace me quickly. I was planning on quitting in about a month, with a full two week notice, but my dad is going on a business trip next week and he is going to set up interviews for me at the places he is going, so this is a great opportunity for me that I don't want to miss just for the sake of finishing a 2 week notice at a job that could replace me in a week if I dropped dead. I know they are very likely going to be spiteful tomorrow, so what is the best way to respond to them? I just graduated college and I don't want to miss any opportunities to find a good job, so I am definitely going on this trip with my dad next week.…

There was a mix up.
I am a recent JD/MBA grad, who has started the job hunt. I had an interview with a marketing firm for 8:15 Tuesday morning. I get there at 8:10 and have 8 or so different people ask for my name, and the company I am interviewing with. (I come to learn that multiple different marketing firms are housed under the same roof) At 9 a “hiring manager” comes out to tell me there was a mix up and I don't have an interview with the company I was supposed to (which they triple confirmed with me) but to do “ME A FAVOR”, she was willing to interview me and another perspective employee at the same time. Again, this is a different company than the one I sent my resume and had communications with. I thanked her for the consideration, but declined to take her interview. Emailed HR (person who confirmed…

Capitalism and income inequality
108,830,849 workers in the United States in 2020 earn up to $ 49,999.99 a year, 184,631 people earn more than $ 1,000,000.00 (of which 358 of them earn over $ 50 million per year). This is income inequality. 184,631 people are doing great, capitalism is great for them, and for those 358 who earn over $ 50 million a year, capitalism is the best system of all time, except for 108,830,849 workers who earn up to $ 49,999.99 a year. For them, capitalism is not a god-given system. Wage statistics for 2020
New York City workers as well as delivery service workers in major cities across the country have difficulties delivering packages to buildings with several stories that do not have package rooms. In addition these same workers are getting in trouble due to the uprise in package theft across the country, and due to the rising popularity of online shopping due to COVID-19 heavy packages are being hauled up several flights of stairs for the many buildings in the city that do not have doormen, a receptionist desk, or the bare minimum: a secure package area/room. If it was a local requirement to have a package area in a building even if it was just a small area if not a whole room it would vastly decrease the amount of package theft but it would also reduce the stress of postal workers, Amazon delivery workers, FedEx workers, Postal workers and UPS…
I work partime at a company that sells mainly heavy items like bedsides tables etc.. We are usually 3-4 on the weekends managing a 1500 square ft store and I am the only man there so I am the only one that is allowed to handle heavy items. This means that I can’t get sudden days off, like my female coworkers, have to manage almost double the amount of clients. And I get paid minimum wage same as my female coworkers but they get to wake up the next day not feeling sore.

Been told this belongs here…
I'm working an evening cleaning job (3pm – 8pm) in a team of 3 people. The problem is that the facility is so big, we are unable to finish the entire thing in those 5 hours. Mind you, this has been a problem for over 2 years and management are only now trying to hire more staff. In the meantime, they are asking us to work an extra 1.5 hours (finishing 9:30 pm) but we are refusing. The main reason for the refusal is that we have to work so hard and quickly in order to get things done, that at the end of those 5 hours we are physically and mentally exhausted. The company claims that they're wishing to cut down on fatigue, but then ask us to work more. I also refused because it would mean I get home at 10 pm, by which time my wife is…

Hey everyone, just wanted to give you a heads up that hiring remote workers (largely from the Philippines) to do BOTH skilled and unskilled work is happening on mass scale. These workers work for ~$10000/year and have university level knowledge. You are going to start seeing more and more Ipads with people on the other end in stores and restaurants. If you think for a second that organizations are going to opt for higher wages over remote workers, you are very mistaken. The pandemic has strengthened the ability to outsource jobs as its nearly identical to WFH. The recent increases due to shortages are temporary as this system is being implemented. Went into a store today and saw it with my own eyes for the first time. Just wanted to let everyone know, because this is happening on a MASSIVE scale right now. They have whole organizations that companies simply…
She also let me know she was deeply offended that I went to HR. Wtf.
