I wonder what it said about me. However, I didnt get the job because I didnt want to look at the welding robots while they were welding since I didnt have proper PPE. Tough shit companies. Got a job somewhere else making more than you wanted to pay me anyway.

What the fuck do I do? I’ve had multiple types of jobs and they all end up making me feel like a shell of myself, I don’t have time to take care of important shit like family and cleaning and self care. I don’t mind working. Like at all, I’m a hard working person and I love challenges and learning. But I refuse to devote 30-50 hrs a week to make someone I’ll never meet marginally richer just so I can have a bunch of material bullshit I don’t want and done even have time to enjoy anyways. The only time I’ve felt ok about work is when I sold weed lmao. It wasn’t good for me bc I ended up doing a bunch of drugs but I made all my own money and didn’t have to check in with anyone, all my own schedule. Ppl worked around my day…

I really think either people are lazy, and only look at 3 resumes, or the auto filters are just throwing out my resume every time. Well maybe I dont want to work for a company like that anyway, Its clearly piss poor leadership that cant find candidates so they continually need to rehire. If they suck that bad at their jobs, they probably are not good leaders, and are not worth working for.

I’m tired of interviewing at companies that preach about work/life balance and talk about home much they care about their employees well being and mental health and give the bare minimum of vacation days. (I also want to say that vacation days are a luxury in the US and I wish there was a mandatory minimum for all of those who get none). Anyway I’ve interviewed with companies that do care and have told me they give two mental health days a quarter not included in PTO. I’ve worked with people who care about me and my mental health issues and have encouraged me to seek therapy and help me out. But 10 days is not enough if that’s what you preach. 10 days in nothing especially when you underpay and over work people. I’m tired of talking to recruiters who are embarrassed by there company’s compensation.

Anyone else feel like this when applying for jobs? But everywhere you work, it is filled with lazy sacks of shit, or people who you wonder how they passed the interview? I think the processes and the test especially, are the biggest waste of time. You have to play a stupid fucking game, and all for what!?!? So they can fire you at a later date because the corporate POS wants a bit more profit.

My partner, whose been a supervisor to one employee, handled many tasks that created the identity for this brand and has found itself in a very tough situation. The job being fully remote (we reside in CA) and having employees all in different time zones reporting had always put a lot of pressure on working all hours of the day and night. The last six months the company has gotten a bit flipped upside down with 6 executive roles terminated, and 2 high-level execs terminated. A promotion has been in line for 6 months but the good ole moving the goal post has been at play for a while. Now my partner has absorbed one of the executive roles and is overseeing 5 employees now. My partner's mental health is absolutely shot at this stage. They were thinking a promotion or a significant bump in pay could at least help…
