I started a HelloFresh account recently and used their 1st box free promotion. First time user, however, was still charged over $100 on my first order. I never received the first box they claimed to have sent me, nor did I order it (brand new account). Tried to cancel the order and they wouldn’t allow it. All that said, it’s sad to see chat agents being held accountable for a shitty company policy and shady business practices. I’m considering taking my dispute further up the chain but I’m just not sure if the effort is going to be worth it with these folks. (And no, I did not leave the chat agent a bad review, I’m not a monster.)

I don’t even live in a majorly populated area. Only 100,000 people live where I am, and most are the elderly and retired. When I told my dad, he said that he would have only ever expected 10 at the most to be applying for the job. How did it ever come to this? How can the job market be so bad and oversaturated that thousands are applying for a job that can’t even cover rent?
Had a company call me for a fractional controller position (work/consult on an hourly basis for multiple company as their accounting controller) and was informed I can’t do any other accounting for anyone else … I said my wife is a real estate agent and I do her accounting, is that an issue. They said unfortunately that’s a conflict of interest but they would be happy to take it over for me and then they could bill her and I could work as her consultant. What a joke! Vent over
Hey there – I live in Australia which means that I get four weeks of paid leave per year. I want to take five weeks off in August. In my email requesting leave, is it better to just outright request the leave, or should I mention that I know I'm asking for more than I'm entitled to and say that I'm happy to take some of it unpaid? Sorry if this is a really dumb question, it's my first contract job and I'm still learning the ropes of requesting stuff like this / what the best procedure is and the unsaid protocols are.
I am looking for any advice (other than quitting.) The company that I work for acquired another company last year and started moving Associates from that location to my location. There are a million things that they have done wrong with this merger. Employees from this other facility are being bussed to our location (40ish minutes away from their previous facility). I think they pay $30 a month for this service. This equates to nowhere and tear on their vehicle, not having to pay for gas, and if for some reason the bus is late, they aren't given any points or consequences. The employees from this facility were given jobs that were similar to the jobs they had before. I work in quality and the people that we got in my department are often unable to handle the workload. The people from this facility were making several dollars an hour…
I was working as a leasing consultant temp and got fired from my assignment, after management encouraged me to apply for the full-time position with them. The reason for being let go was that I failed the pre-employment screening. My manager wasn’t provided details of how I failed due to confidentiality and said I would have to ask HR. After several days, I finally received a return call letting me know I had failed the pre-employment screening because of my poor credit. Yet 6 weeks prior, my credit report was checked in order for me to be hired as a temp. That’s when I realized, it’s because I filed for bankruptcy after I started working as a temp. I have no evictions. My credit was fantastic until I went through crisis after crisis during 2021-2022. I have been up to my eyeballs in debt just trying to survive. I made…
