Every single jobs board is riddled with spam. Every single jobs board is plastered with the same job over and over again. Every single jobs board has pop-up windows that look like they’re trying to take me to another website altogether (like it’s Kayak or Orbitz or something). Every single jobs board sends you to an employers website, where you’re asked to upload your resume (after uploading it to the jobs board) and then asked to type in all the information from your resume again. I just spent two and a half hours applying for a job at some company I have never heard of through a VERY WELL KNOWN jobs board, to get to the end of the application process and be prompted to upload a 3-5 minute video about how awesome I think it would be to work for fabulous them. And it would not let me continue…

Slacking extra hard, been on my phone by myself for like almost 4 hours now lmao no one even is making sure I’m working

Is it a red flag? I kinda think so. The best place to work award requires a participation fee.  It is doubtful, no matter what the Times may say, that once you have paid to be placed in this glorified listicle that you won’t make it on there somewhere.   This is a valueless metric, as I have worked in 2 of these “illustrious” organisations and an ugly pattern emerges from the people in the organisation clamouring to taste this smegma of recognition Perception is more important than Reality. The perception team (or however you’re wanting to brand HR) are uniformly concerned , not with the wellbeing of employees, but with covering up their screams.    Without doubt these places will also have glassdoor scores in the 4+ range because the employees have been “asked”, possibly at gunpoint,  to review bomb glassdoor after some brave soul has revealed the ugly truth…

I’ve been in retail for over 20 years, I’ve had all kinds of roles. Since I’ve had kids I’d been able to be a stay at home mom and have my own business that unfortunately closed during Covid. After that, I’ve been lucky enough to find roles that were Monday – Friday or with only the occasional weekend shift. I was also in roles where our shifts would typically end by 5:00 at the latest, so I could always make after school pick up. Now, after leaving a very toxic store, I’ve been able to land a management position. Everything seems okay so far, except for the hours. The earliest shift has me getting home around 7:00pm, way too late for pickup. But most days they have me scheduled so I won’t get home until 8:00 or 9:00, in which case I won’t get to see my kids at all.…

Just had this interview with a major tech company that was basically labled one of the best tech companies to work for in the area. the manager came off kinda of rude and disrespectful by saying that compensation is set at 19.50/hr and he cant offer anything more since he doesnt want any conversations about why people are getting paid more for the same job. no remote no hybrid not even considering it. like wtf . that was the first red flag. second he tells me that this job is very difficult and very demanding and extremely stressful and people quit from day one and if im not ready for that i dont have to take job. the job is basically help desk tier 2 . he then continues to ask me detailed questions about routers and switches and active directory. questioning my skills and in a way felt like…

I AM NOT THE ORIGINAL POSTER, REDDIT TOOK THEIR ACCOUNT DOWN TO PLEASE BIG BANKS. IF YOU SEE THIS PLEASE REPOST IT If you work at JPMorgan Chase & Co. or are thinking about working at JPMC, you need to know about their employee surveillance tool called WADU. WADU is an acronym for Workforce Activity Data Utility. Every employee at JPMC has a profile in the WADU database. I think everyone expects their employer to track them to some extent. It is pretty standard practice for employers to monitor and run analysis on things like building badge swipes and the amount of time spent connected when working from home. It has also become very common place for employers to record audio and video at the office. WADU is on a different level. It is an artificial intelligence & machine learning system for workforce human behavior. Starting at the moment you…
