Posting “part time” in the job posting for full time work.

I already have a part time job but can't make ends meet. I need another part time job. The first one has me at 40 hours already. So, I've been applying for weekend work. Just this past week I had someone call me for security on the weekends only. He said he would only hire me if I worked Monday and Friday also. I told the dude I have another job and said “I could really use you, can you work overnights then go to your other job?”. Another job posted part time then in the job offer letter wrote “full time”. I called them about the error and HR actually admitted to me that in the interview they said “part time” but it was full time and they were hoping I would like them so much they could get me to resign and just come over to their company.…

How to fill my schedule so others won’t.

Does anyone have any tips or examples to do this as credible as possible?

It was a retail job, my time worked is not tracked on a computer, but part timers just write it on a piece of paper, that's what I was told and every part timer does it like that. Now I admit I was not a great employee, I did no call/no show for me last 2 shifts because I was just so drained. But I did my work diligently. Anyways I had a sneaky suspicion my manager would try to fuck me over somehow And that's what he did. I was promised a performance bonus, didn't get that, ok fair enough, but I didn't get paid for at least 25 hours of work. I'm so fucking sick and tired of this shit, being someone's punching bag and having to defend myself just to get what is legally mine. So what can I do? Ofc there are records of be being…

The laziness lie was invented by the Puritans and capitalists

https://www.welcometothejungle.com/en/articles/busting-myths-about-laziness-at-work Dr Devon Price is a social psychologist and the author of Laziness Does Not Exist. In this interview he says: The laziness lie is deeply embedded in the very foundation of the United States. The value of hard work and the evils of sloth are baked into our national myths and our shared value system….It was very important to the colonies’ wealthy and enslaving class that they find a way to motivate enslaved people to work hard, despite the fact that enslaved people had nothing to gain from it. One powerful way to do so was through religious teachings and indoctrination. How has the shame and fear around laziness affected your work-life balance?
