Looking to quit my job in NJ, any way I can collect unemployment? Is there a wait period for quitting or can I “leave for another job” then get laid off from new job and collect on previous jobs higher wages

I've recently received the first part of my bo is, and the HR lady handed me a paper showing me when to expect the next half, which is said to be arriving next month, am I wasting my time waiting for this bonus, despite already planning on quitting, after getting it?

So from past two years I have changed 4 startups (two got closed due to pandemic ) and one wasn't paying me a dime (yes I was working for free!), and always wanted to work for a big corporation a week back I got opportunity to work in the biggest IT company in the world, but it has 6 days a week working culture, in desperation, I joined, but now I regret it, as I miss my long weekend. Am I too privileged? Can I really afford another company on my résumé? Will it be a mistake to leave such a great opportunity?

My wife and I both work in a warehouse but stay away from one another unless, for instance, she needed to lift a bag that was too heavy for her. My wife lost her contacts and so, could not fill her position in the warehouse until she got replacement contacts. After speaking to the HR of our building, she was put on COF and given a paper to have a doctor fill out. Now the detail that they left out when they fired her was that she was supposed bring it in before she was able to return to work. Even though our lead HR said to turn it in when she came back to work. Now the problem. She can’t make money for rent, food, or gas money. They want the form in on Friday but we don’t have the money for contacts after they called us into work…

My mom is 58 and is working for a non profit making $15 an hour. She has been working there for 7 months. We’ve had a vacation planned for several months now and she told me she would have enough vacation days stored up for it. In her 7 months there working full time, she hasn’t missed a single day except when she had COVID and missed 5 days. She sent me a text today saying that her boss counted the 5 COVID days as vacation time and that she doesn’t have enough for our trip. And her boss won’t even let her take UNPAID time off that week. TLDR: My 58 year old mother has worked 7 straight months without a real day off and her boss won’t even let her take unpaid time off with a month’s notice

I recently applied for an IT job currently running a 'neurodiversity hiring program' and got an e-mail asking me to schedule an appointment for today. Yet when the time for the interview arrives? …. …. …. …. Nothing! I check my e-mail. Nothing! I check my calendar. The interview is still posted YET as I hover the icon I get a message telling me it has been cancelled. Cancelled! No prior notice via e-mail or text. I would be surprised by such tactless disregard for potential hires, but sadly this is not the first time a company has called off an interview at the last minute without explanation. Hey HR. How am I supposed to take your company seriously when you flake out of a meeting like this? If an interviewee like myself were to do this it could potentially harm our reputations and yet HR professionals can do this…

I work in a very toxic company. The CEO is sexually harassing the female employees and generally is a huge mysogynist. He also gets really angry really fast and screams and insults the employees. Now he opend 6 positions. All assistant Jobs have to be young woman. So how do I discreetly tell them to avoid this company without the CEO noticing. I have a new Job in prospect but only in a few months so I need this Job until then. Sorry for my english, it is not my first language.

My mother works in front-line adult social care for local government in the UK. Recently, the local authority she works for has been in discussions with trade unions about how they can essentially introduce pay cuts in order to continue to pay for services. When this was questioned, and in response to swathes of recent resignations and staff sickness, bosses had the audacity to tell my mum and colleagues that they “don’t work for [the council], they work for their community”. This translates to “we can keep treating you like shit and removing your support networks, and if you stop working or dare to complain, YOU’RE the asshole and are betraying the people in your care”. The heads-of-service all get their 6-figure salaries, but those on £20k a year need to take one for the team for the good of “the community”? Fuck off! The UK government and the current…

Give them hours to keep, then send pertinent information about schedules after those hours for before those hours. I’m scrambling and it’s my second fucking day.
