For context, they reached out to me. They found me on the health registry in my state and wanted to set up an interview. I was thrilled, as this is o.e of the top facilities in my state, so I said yeah. I get there 15 minutes early (they requested 10 but traffic) and I waited. and waited. 20 minutes after the interview was supposed to start I went up to the receptionist and told her that it was incredibly unprofessional and disrespectful to my time. I followed that up with telling her I'm not interested in working for a company that provides this as the first interaction and to tell that to the hiring manager, if she ever showed up. don't think that the receptionist had ever been given that kind of response, as she looked like I just slapped her but like. if that's the first impression you…

My employer insisted on an illegal vaccine mandate even now when covid is no longer an issue. It has been a tough few weeks but it's a relief to find a place like this where worker's rights, bodily autonomy and freedom are all valued as sacred. Bless you all. Glad you're not like the rest.

This personality test was 100% mind games. It was full of ridiculous statements just to fuck with your head. I've never failed one of these stupid agree / disagree assessments in my life. You'd see a statement like: “I am typically quiet at work.” and think the obvious answer is to agree because they don't want someone loud and disruptive. Nope, wrong. Every single question on this thing was a trap like this. I was completely turned away from the interview over this joke of a test. I decided I'd had enough and it's time to give these people a piece of my mind. This is what I emailed them: “Hi, I had an “interview” for your company today at a hiring event and the entire process was unprofessional and insulting. Everyone at this event was treated like cattle and categorized by the bogus personality test on SnagAJob. The interviewers…

Amazon offers people who live in trailers and rvs areas to live if they work for them. You can easily live in an rv or trailer for under 10k a year. You would only need to work 2-3 days a year to support yourself.

So I recently found out my job which I only joined a few months ago is been outsourced to Mexico and Eastern Europe. It was remote work so I guess it was an illusion. So we all lose our jobs on two teams at some unknown date soon, never officially announced but a leak from above and later confirmed by trustworthy sources. Why even hire in the first place ? Left a stable job to be thrown under a bus. But I guess that's the way of bottom feeding corporations. Already applying for new jobs and planning on emigrating away from the tax haven for the wealthy I live in.

We're in Florida 🤢 My friend says that he worked for 4 weeks with a company that sells phones in Walmart a few months ago and never saw a dime of compensation. The amount promised was over $2000. He has some level of documentation. We're labor rights novices, but I knew atleast to turn to this community. Where do I start with helping my friend out?

So I quit my job yesterday. I was a welder working in trailer manufacturing and had been there for just over 2 years. Going in, I knew that the pay wasn't going to be stellar, but they were willing to train me and it would get me out of customer service jobs. When I got hired, I was told it would take 3 months to train into being a welder. I did it in 2. When we all had to get recertified (not AWS), I was 1 of 4 people that passed all 3 parts of the test on the first try. I was 1 of 2 (MAYBE 3) people on the entire site that can run the plas table and band saw. I had seniority over everyone left in my line and could handle just about any task in it. The company had been hemorrhaging their tenured employees because…

I work outdoors in BC (tourism industry) and have dealt with bad air qualities (at times the worst air quality on the planet with low to no visibility and ashes falling from the sky and coating vehicles) for 3 bad summers over the last 6. I’ve noticed the toll breathing in this smoke has had on my body. Also was not given any protective equipment for these conditions from my work and no hazard pay etc. Do you think that’s grounds for compensation of some sort for unsafe work conditions? My only alternative would have been to quit. But that’s easier said than done in this economy as I can’t really afford to stop working. Thanks for any advice.
