So I made a fake ish resume. Some was true and some not. My degrees and all credentials were legit and true but I put a few places of employment that I “worked” at that I truly never did to have more experience. The career field is something I am in and am knowledgeable in I just don’t have 5+ years of experience like everyone wanted soooo I made up like 3 ish. We’ll fast forward a couple of weeks and I landed a remote job. Very well paying. Literally doubled my salary. A bit worried I can be found out but at the same time is it bad I don’t feel that guilty because of how most companies are when it comes to insane requirements and little pay. Should I be worried & confess or run with it as long as I can? Ps. I’m in the HR field

Get a job 🙂

So I was born in russia and my parents grew up in the soviet union, they would make school kids work in state potatoe farms called kolkhoz and they probably still do in Belarus, where my moms side is from. If everyone stopped working in Canada for over 2 weeks they could try to mandate people to work using the emergency powers act.

In this sub, are we all Frank Grimes, the hardworking, undervalued, underappreciated employee who despises the lazy, incompetent coworker (Homer) who is undeserving of their title, salary, home, cars etc?

This is not the first time I have this impression, it happened before when I left my internship and a HR representative from another company called me out of nowhere to do an interview. The 'problem' was, I did not apply to any jobs in that company and I have no idea how she got my contact. Now I'm in a similar situation, trying to get out of my current job and was fortunate enough to be interviewed by a company that is not exactly in the same industry, but share similarities. Turns out I have a big chance to be hired and lately it feels like my upper management KNOWS. How? IDK, never mentioned it to anyone. Am I crazy or do they actually talk to each other?

Let me preface this by saying that I am a physician and I benefit from our capitalistic society. I have worked plenty of shitty, low paying jobs along the way. I went straight from high school to medical school to residency and did not finish my training (and start really earning money) until I was 29 years old. I chose to work at a federally qualified health center to work with an underserved population out of residency, transitioned to working in the emergency department, and I am a board certified addiction medicine physician because I choose to help those who society ignores. I still have a good quality of life and benefit from our capitalistic approach to healthcare, even though I think it is wrong. As we benefit from increased automation and our society has an abundance in resources, this should translate into universal health care, food, and housing as…
