Title. It was bad enough that they wanted a credit check as part of a background check during the hiring process, but now it's been announced that these background checks will be annual for all employees, specifically criminal record and credit report checks. In their lukewarm defence this requirement came from their lender clients, many of which are major banks, but why the fuck do the banks care about the credit score of the engineers making the software? Are they so scared of the working class that they don't want “filthy poor people” touching the code??

Hello everyone! I’ve been a part of this sub for about a month now and I’m learning more than I ever thought I’d need to know about my rights as a worker! I originally felt super weird about being here as I am active duty military and couldn’t really sympathize with the plight of the average civilian worker. I working towards release from the service and this sub is helping me realize that I have a worth both inside and outside the military. Believe it or not service members go through some similar shit just with more red tape and less escape/negotiation options. I describe it to my family as “take your orders and deal with them” no matter how unfair, unrealistic, or outright outrageous those orders are. I could tell stories all day about how messed up things are from this side of the fence. Thank you all for…

I posted earlier about my job at the greenhouse and my boss not understanding my mental health issues. I approached a different greenhouse for work experience and was just offered to come in for a interview for a job!!!! This one should be less customer service and more working with plants which should help my mental health a lot and won’t interfere with my own garden!!!
