I'm likely not going to do it because this seems outlandish to me. I don't understand why I'd need good credit to have a job. It has nothing to do with loans, mortgage, etc… I'm not even applying to work for anything in the financial field. It's a customer service job.

We work JOBS we can tolerate so we can pay for food and shelter. Often, they are jobs NOT related to what we studied or want to do. We're not going to be doing the same work for 60 years. We mostly don't want to do the same work for 60 years. I feel the concept of pursuing a career versus a job is as antiquated as staying at the same company your whole working life. The term “career” gives off an element of dedication or loyalty (or job tunnel vision) to something that mostly no longer applies in our society, IMO.

My mom is a director of a preschool, she doesn't own it but her responsibilities include balancing the books, firing people, hiring people, meeting with parents, finding new kids, going to events, ordering needed supplies, discipline students, making schedules, and then everything involved with being an actual teacher. She gets 1 week PTO, has no retirement options there, and no advancement. She's been there for close to a decade I just started as an exterminator with no work history in the field and make more money. My mother doesn't want to leave her job because of loyalist. My mom does everything for that school and makes no money while working for 50 hours a week. The owner has literally said “if you leave we will go out of business”. Even if its a mom and pop place they don't care even if they really care about you and they'll just…

So I’m not sure if this is the right space for this, sorry in advance. I’m a single mom and would occasionally have to leave work a few minutes early for my daughter whenever there is an emergency (daycare around the corner). It was well established when I started and they were completely accommodating. It’s been almost a year and now they seem to have a change of heart. Called me into the office yesterday and preceded to tell me how I don’t care about company time and need to reflect on my choices. It was said more colorful, I left holding back tears. Coworkers have told me that management is conflicted, some want me back ASAP another wants me to serve the suspension. Side note, turnover rate is pretty high I’m the most senior associate and train most new hires. Any input or advice would be greatly appreciated! Do…

Pay point 1 is only reserved for labourers and it doesn't matter if you have a trade or 30 years experience you start there. My lga's budget in 2019 had a massive influx of money from the V8 Supercars in Australia and all that partnered with a rapid increase in tourism and development. With this 10k pay decrease it is clear that it will trickle down but how far is currently unknown as the highest pay point is 25 which is 6k a fortnight more than 1. The union everyone here is a part of is basically a lapdog for the organisation and is currently barely fighting for us. I leave the council in 4 weeks and it won't be a personal concern but it is honestly sad for the for those left.

I'm a hard working 34 year old woman. I was employed at a non profit for about 3 years. It wasn't the best job or the best paying job, but I liked all my coworkers and I liked that I was helping the community. One day the marketing person is moving onto another job, this guy was old school, did things like put print ads in newspapers and actually recorded and put an ad on TV. I was excited because I thought I was a no brainer to take his place after he left. I have a degree in New Media and Graphic Design and have extensive knowledge in video editing software, animation and game design. As well I knew the in and out of the company. I had also gone above and beyond in my job, helping the marketing department with new media projects, getting videos on youtube, sound…

Hi all. I am a 27 year old female based in England, UK. I have good academic qualifications, the highest of which is a 2:1 in Law. I have worked from the age of 16. First 2 jobs were in retail alongside my time spent studying. First 'professional' role was as a Trainee Law Costs Draftsman with an 18k salary working 40 hours per week. The role itself I didn't mind but the environment was awful and my contract was terminated after 6 months after i declined to work through my lunch. All other Trainee contracts were also terminated. All termination of contracts was explained as being due to not meeting targets. I then began working as a Family Court Clerk within the civil service. I enjoyed the role but the environment was toxic. I was working in excess of my full time hours all of the time, rarely had…
