Walked out at the end of the day with my coworker and quit together lol

Wayy to much to write about the people I used to work for. But here are the biggest reasons: incorrect pay in our paychecks shorting us hours. , owner is a pathological liar, they sit at home and watch the employees on the security cameras instead of actually coming into the business to help, 99% sure the cameras have sound but unable to prove it. My number one reason why was that i refuse to line the pocket of people who are so disrespectful and rude to their employees. Why should i bust my ass for people who do not give a shit about running their business. . Coworker and I were the only full timers who do what we do. And we had full schedules for at least a month lol. Im 1000% comfortable with whst i did. no one should ever work for pelople who continously disrespect and…

I got denied by a staffing agency for a position I’m overqualified for because I haven’t worked recently (2yrs), should I put that I’m an independent contractor?

Asking for advice and opinions, but some ranting is sure to occur. Thank you in advance for taking the time to help me! Okay, I’m pissed. I’m currently enrolled in a masters program and now trying to get back into the work force (I was living off of “university income” – grants/loans – because I desperately needed a break from everything tbh, and I lost the aid bc of some time frame rule they don’t tell students about, so typical uni bs + I was misinformed by my advisor 🫠 will be appealing tho) a bit earlier than planned, and because I didn’t have work experience listed for the last 6 months, they emailed me this: “…Your registration did not provide enough information for us to determine if we have a position that matches your skills and experiences. The best way to resolve this is for you to provide us…

Yesterday a supervisor asked me to help build a class.

So I was told I was going to be in a class yesterday at work and said to myself “ok whatever” as my care for a place I once gave literally everything for and was my dream has now become my own living hell but im kinda trapped do yo niche exp. And the benefits. Turns out the supervisor/instructor wasn't teaching a class….the man wanted me to build him a program to teach new people something that I am the only one actively in my craft with the knowledge of. I am not here by choice….i was forced into this and it was illegal…..but autistic meltdowns are a bitch so 🤷. We had a long conversation. I mean the man has literally has known me my whole life, knows my parents, and hell he is part of the reason I gave up a nice comfy 6 figure path to work…

[UK] Hosepipe ban blamed on people working from home

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-66007675 A water company that has imposed a hosepipe ban has blamed people working from home for the shortage. South East Water, which supplies more than two million homes and businesses in Sussex and Kent, will implement the restriction from Monday. Chief Executive David Hinton said demand had swelled by about 20% over a short period of time which had put the existing infrastructure under stress. Customers said the real problem was the company's lack of investment. A petition has been set up calling for a change of ownership at South East Water. In a letter to customers, Mr Hinton described people working from home as a “key factor” behind the ban. He wrote: “Over the past three years the way in which drinking water is being used across the south east has changed considerably. “The rise of working from home has increased drinking water demand in commuter towns by…

I regulary lie at work because there is no way I can manage the workload

They want me to have an online meeting with a company to find out something. I tell them that I had the meeting and give them a made up summary based on a 5 Minute Internet search. Why? Because I need this job and because there should be 2 people doing this stuff an not me alone. Just 10 days ago they asked me to find an appartment for someone from abroad that was hired spontaneously. They wanted like 5 different appartments to choose from. I searched for a very cheap one – then included 4 expensive ones I picked out randomly and told them that the cheapest one is the best – and as expected form greedy Business owners that cant raise wages by even 50 cents – but pay themselves Millions in bonuses – they picked the cheapest one. If you give people more work than they can…
