It’s so funny when boomers decide to tell you that you’re not looking hard enough and that no one wants to work but you’ve applied to 30 jobs in the area, you have one interview and you didn’t get the job. Suddenly it’s the workers fault for not wanting to work even though no one will hire.

So yall had better start unionizing.
How to not cry at work
Will be saying my goodbyes to my childhood dog tonight. I feel physically sick and have been crying all morning. Unfortunately I’m new to this job and no one is able to cover my shift today, so I feel guilty for calling in sick. I’m anxious about not being able to keep it together in front of customers/ upper management today. 🙁 Any advice?
Don’t bring up compensation
I apologize in advance, this is gonna be long and filled with grammar mistakes probably. Some background, I (20 ftm) work in a meat department in a family owned store. I have worked in this departement for 6ish months, but I've worked in the actual store for almost a year now. I started out as a grinder, which is the 12-8 shift. I hate late shifts, I'm more of a morning shift person. 9-5 person walked out during a shift and left clean up for the closing manager. This is after the previous 9-5 person left after he put his 2 weeks in. For about 3 weeks, it's just me and the opener. I was getting out 2 hours late on a regular basis because no one would stop a d help when I would ask. “Why isn't sausage getting done? Why are you getting out so late? The person…

Lying on Lab resume
I have no luck getting a job without experience but then because I have no experience I cannot get any experience. A lot of my friends have lied successfully on their resumes but they are in different fields of work than I am. I was wondering if anyone had ever lied about their experience working in a lab. Not like research but just basic lab tech
Work from home (WFH) query
Hi all, Long time lurker, first time writer. Not sure if this is the appropriate place to ask but I have recently been approached by my current employer regarding work from home coming to an end in most financial services and now everyone should be coming back. Context: I've been working in the North (UK) for this large firm. I've been with them throughout CV19 lockdowns and really enjoy working there handling insurance claims. My partner got an opportunity to work down South closer to London and given I was working remotely already, we decided (with my company's blessing) to move down South. There were ideas floating about regarding having different profiles such as full remote workers, full office workers ect but that seems to now have been walked back when the CEO decided we would adopt 50% office work. It's a bit of a shit show because none of…
More like the Incompetence 500
So I have been thinking a lot lately about how many established companies that may even be considered institutions of corporate America are just names on the outside and nothing more. On the inside, they are plagued by incompetence, inefficiency and overall chaos. I really want to understand how these companies make it on the fortune 500, get awards and distinctions and then once you get there you realize the place is an utter disaster even though it may be a company that is a household name (Big Pharma company, large retailer etc.) or have record profits. How did they achieve this when there is so much incompetence on the inside? This was just a shower thought but I got more curious since I recently accepted an offer at a Fortune 50 company and was scheduled to start today. As the day got closer I didn't receive any first day…
