I worked for about 6 months this time just taking it day by day, drinking of course. Quit about 3 weeks ago, now I'm out of money. Hopefully I'll get a decent tax return. I get to get another jobs guys, how am i gonna make it thru? I know I'm already gonna tell them I'm traveling for Christmas for a month dec.15 to jan.15. I'm gonna take off on my birthday but damn I don't wanna work

A little rant post: I’ve applied to a number of New York City and New York State gov jobs. I have no interest in civil service but my family is very insistent that I apply and it ultimately takes no time. I have started getting emails about “hiring pools” Essentially, you and many other people are called to come to the location at 9 AM and they interview you according to some order. By the time they get to you, the position may or may not be filled! It literally says this. They want you to take a day off work and you’re not even guaranteed an interview. Meanwhile they complain they can’t find people to come to these! This makes no fucking sense. They literally are using the worst possible model for interview scheduling.

I think it’s time to revisit rule 7. Sure, cops have no place here, but after a post was removed because it was from a landlord, I think it’s time to reasses. The person in question was trying to learn and understand, at least that was my impression before it disappeared. They were interacting in a polite, respectful, and inquisitive. I believe that refusing to engage with other parties and view points will leave this sub a glorified venting session that won’t, in the end, change much if anything. It’s very much become an echo chamber and honestly a bit redundant in post content: Yes, what your asking is wrong but probably not illegal. Time/wage theft is illegal. Call for general strike that never happens cause not planning takes place. I used to really like this sub and I still think a community of this size can do some real…

Me personally? After everything thus far? When I told my boss that my co-workers should tell me upfront about faults as to better improve instead of waiting and telling her as to not let things fester. For which she replied that they did the right thing of telling her instead of me. For which she then tells me “I’m tired of you playing blame games.”

My company is claiming that they will dock our performance ratings at year end or even fire us if we don't go in an average of 3 days a week. This us a very large company that had a “soft” RTO policy last year (not really enforced) but this year they claim that they're cracking down and enforcing it. For context, a lot of us were WFH before the pandemic, and even when we are in the office, we are spread out all over the country. They only know if we come in by checking badge scans. So this isn't an in person collaboration or in person management/mentoring thing. My boss lives in another state and her boss lives in a different state. I have one coworker who lives in my area but she reports to a different office across town. I ask because I'm sick of going to an…

For me, I'd say Money, Money, Money by ABBA
