I desperately need references and companies to put on my resume, so I can get a call center job. Yes, I wanna fake my way in a job, because why not?

I am currently unemployed and at the verge of being homeless. I really want this call center trafficking job, so I can earn above the minimum wage. The thing is they want experience and I don't have that. Can anyone maybe help with reference and probably a long stretch but a company I can place on my resume? I am from latin america and twenty four. Been getting rejected from jobs for awhile now. It's crazy :/

Startling conversation I had with my parents

I was just talking to my parents about an upcoming work-trip, for which my attendance wouldn't be really necessary, but the powers that be still want me to come with. I told them that and their reaction was something like “Well still, you can sacrifice some of your free-time for the company; you owe them that much” (I am of course getting paid for the trip, but it does take me away for 3 whole days). Specifically the 'I owe them that' part sort of surprised me, but no big deal, I get what they mean, so I somewhat jokingly said “Well, I work to live, I don't live to work” – to which my Dad; a man who was hospitalized for burnout; who got fucked over on several occasions by his employer, and was nearly cheated out of (part of) his pension, completely sincerely asked “What's the difference?”, which…

unreasonable work hours

There are more bussiness dogs like this all over the country.Children of the dog for money.In an inhumane way to set up shop hours.I still don't understand how the owners have the guts to act like this without following the laws of the land.Uncommitted to the country.He will be eaten by all the dog's children.I felt sorry to see the condition of those who had come to work.I don't know if the hooliganism is intended to scare everyone, but if he gets what he deserves, his hooliganism will go.Depriving the working people of their freedom is firstly 6 days work in a week which is wrong and also 9 to 7 30 how can you work 10 and a half hours a day?

I’m lost, what do I do

Hi guys, As the title says, I’m completely lost in life at the moment. I’m very depressed and hate my job. I have a feeling of dread and unwillingness to get up at go in the morning, there are factors outside of work which are bringing my mental health down by a significant amount too. I just want to say in general I like the people I work with, it’s just a very high stress environment. The co-owner however, has been treating me very badly, he micromanages me and doesn’t trust me. He often tells me to ask my manager if he thinks I am not correct about something, but when I do ask my manager he confirms i am indeed correct. I work in construction and I’ve been told that the shouting and the general way that the co-owner treats me isn’t as bad as how he has been…

Saying I’m familiar with the entire office suite is bad but making up quantifications is good. Got it. A 99% guest satisfaction rate is as made up as the ancient Pegasus

Small business owner here. I switched to a 4 day work week last year and my employees are performing better than ever.

I own a small online based business with 14 employees. Because we handle credit card information, we don't allow work from home due to possible PCI compliance network insecurities Business hours are were Mon-Fri from 9am-6pm. I've been hearing so many good things about this 4 day work week thing, that I thought to myself, “you know what? Fuck it. Sales have gone up because of the pandemic and we're doing good. Why not?” So I setup a company meeting and I announced that we would be trialing a 4 day work week with NO ADDITIONAL HOURS and THE SAME PAY FOR EVERYONE for 3 months. Everyone was fucking over the moon like I was handing out end of year bonuses. I told them all we'd be working the same hours, but only Mon-FriThurs. The following month was one of the best, performance wise I've ever had. I thought it…
