After cutting myself multiple times at work and ignoring it to keep working, spending $200+ on tools despite being paid similar to a fast food worker, it’s just a bit disrespectful to say to me “You have to show me you really want to do this.”

That's all. Just kinda annoyed me a bit. Edit: I said similar but I think I'm paid the same. I'm paid $13. I see a lot of job postings for MCDs and such paying $13+.

Where to leave bad review for Interviewer Artversion.

Where can I go to leave a bad review for an employer? It was the shortest Zoom interview I did and a waste of my time. I got disqualified from the job cause I also have an interest to learn Augemented reality and VR next to my User Interface design skill. They told me good luck. ArtVersion fuck you I dont need you. Wasted my time fuckers,

Ceo’s should have to work their own company

I think Ceo's/owners should have to work in their own store as the lowest grunt. for however long it takes them to earn a living wage. If you pay your work 7.25 an hour and they need to work 60 hours a week to make ends meet then guess what that owner or ceo has to work 60 hours a week right along side you. I bet if we started to do that wed see an increase in wages real quick.

I flunked my job interview today

For background, I'm 24 years old and never been regularly unemployed. Never gotten past the first day. All I can put on my resume is volunteer work. Today I had an interview at Starbucks. I really wanted to get this job since I liked the idea of being a barista. My ride bailed on me so I had to pay a $19 Uber to get there. I flunked the interview. I tried to bullshit my through the best I could. Lots of questions like “can you give me a good example of you doing a group project” “can you tell me about your people skills”. No I fucking can't. This is an entry level job. I have no experience. I couldn't work due to my disabilities. I was homeschooled throughout highschool. But I couldn't say that. I lied and paraphrased stories from middle school. At the end I asked how…

Got a “talking to” because I was on time to work.

I never thought I’d be posting here but this really just irked me to the core so I thought I’d share Let me preface this by saying I’m in construction and my job sites are usually (45-1hr 30) away from my house. I’m usually there before any of my coworkers most days because I work at 7 A.M and I leave around 5:15-5:30 to go to work and wait in my car until 7, I do this mainly to beat traffic and to gradually start my day. Yesterday however we were told to be there at 7:30 AM so I decided I’d leave my house at a time that would get me there around 7:20. I get there AT 7:30, grab my tools and go see my foreman. He tells me (insert supervisors name here) had just left at 7:25 and he has been waiting on me to show up…

If the position can’t be done remotely, DON’T LIST IT AS REMOTE

Just a brief rant, as I've been job hunting the last couple of days. The last couple of years have really put me in a mindset of never wanting to have to work in an office (or store, or what have you) ever again. Anything I'm qualified for, I'm qualified to do remotely. So, naturally, I'm filtering my job search to show me only remote jobs. It seems like every third or fourth job posting indicates that it's remote, but then describes job duties that simply cannot be done remotely – for example, receiving shipments, picking and packing outgoing shipments, PHYSICALLY DELIVERING packages… How hard is it for these people to put up accurate job listings? If my duties will require my physical presence to complete, THEN IT ISNT FUCKING REMOTE THEN, IS IT?

I f*cking hate my boss. Like I hate the man. He degrades, belittles, mocks and blames me for everything that goes wrong. But I can’t find another job as of 2 months of searching. I’m so angry. I think I might have PTSD from this place.

Long story short- I’ve worked here for 9 months. In my role for about 4 now. I spent the entire time so far fixing mistakes from the last person, but my job is for 2 people- in one. Every day I get more and more behind because I can’t keep up, and anytime I mention this to him, he makes it about my lack of work ethic. I’m working overtime currently and not being paid. He also punishes me for that too. If I try to stay late after work or work on the weekend (unpaid I might add) he says that is a lack of my time management. But the last 3 people who did my job quit due to stress. At this point he no longer speaks to me, no longer asks about my day, we have no cordial conversations except when he’s belittling me. (He mocks me…

Spent 14 hours putting up Super Bowl displays yesterday

Our new regional manager is a huge sports nut and wanted to go big this year, we had a meeting a few weeks ago where he came in with a jersey on, face painted, and a big foam finger. He was fired up and screaming and said he wants to make national news for our super bowl displays. First we built a massive replica of the super bowl stadium out of cans of refried beans. It's right there as you walk into the store and looks stupid as fuck. Had a few of the younger stockboys help, they said it was like playing Minecraft. I didn't get to leave until 2 am. We also built a Dr. Pepper fanzone out of crates of soda. Basically a big sports castle. There are even flatscreen TVs in there. I happened to check it the next day and saw a homeless guy jacking…
