I got laid off last month. To add insult to injury, I'm now 6 months pregnant and my SO and I were on my insurance so that's been fun. I got laid off at the same time as the vast majority of my department, its sister department, and several higher ups. HR and operations also sort of phased out at this time. The company's basically down to a skeleton crew as they put all their eggs in the basket of one aspect in particular. Fortunately I did get some amount of severance in the form of 2 weeks' pay and the bonus I was supposed to be paid some time in February from 2022. It's now past the time the bonus covered and I've been trying to navigate my state's unemployment system. The website is surprisingly advanced for 2005, arbitrary, and overly specific in terms of the way I'm supposed…

I need to just complain a little, please. I do data entry for a prominent scummy oxygen supply company. It’s a hell scape. Totally unorganized. Constantly stressful. Nonstop workload to the point that most people skip breaks just trying to make sure we done have to work a weekend. With constantly changing insurance guidelines we get yelled at daily for not doing something the way they told us yesterday even though they told us to do it another way today. We typically have to have everything entered that was received by 12:00 pm on the last day worked for the end of the month. If the last day of the month is a Saturday or Sunday this usually means a super long day on Friday, but guaranteed a weekend off for once. Not this weekend. Today our manager tells us halfway through the day that people at the top now…

For refrence I’m 19 and this is my 3rd job. I had to leave them before last year because of medical issues, but I’ve been with them since February again. I get paid 15 an hour, it’s an entry level job, and horrendously managed. The manager just sits outside or in the office, barely doing anything. He doesn’t tell us when he changes the schedule or when managers are coming to visit and whatnot. He doesn’t even print the schedule some days. Now I’ve called out on March 27th, April 12th, and today. My position is supposed to be 10-15 hours yet I’m working 25 hours a week some times. I’ve talked to my manager about it and my schedule will be back to normal for a week and then back to being over 20. I know it’s not a lot but I’m also a full time college student. Apparently…

I don’t understand how all these jobs though vastly different pay so similarly. Has anyone else seen this in their area? The job titles and posted pay. Eye wear tech $22 Park ranger $24 LPN $26 McDonald's supervisor $19 Production control 50-60k General labor $18.40 Honda production 21-28 Tire tech 18-24 Diesel apprentice 19-21 QC tech Pepsi 24 Trainer fedex 24.55 Forklift 21 CNC 22.65 Grinder operator 20

Just had a decent enough interview, but during they mentioned that due to past employees I'd have to show up and train without pay. I've got the experience and background to do it, and it's a niche industry so I think I have a fair shot at it. Right now my plan is to take the job if I get the offer and report them to the DoL when I don't get paid, but I wanted to see if I'm missing something crazy that's passed recently legalizing unpaid labor in North Carolina.
