Would it be considered unreasonable to call a remote work policy in which “everyone has to be the same” and those who are productive aren't allowed any more remote work than those who slack off, Communist? Is it not so far off to start telling people they should all be only paid as much as the entry level workers?

Hey guys, I'm currently desperately (lol not lol) searching for jobs as I got laid off. I already have a basic CV template created by a professional CV writer. To increase my chances, I always customize each CV and cover letter for the specific job I'm applying to. However, this takes a long time, even with help from ChatGPT-4. I'm wondering if anyone knows a platform where I can upload my CV template, then give it a job description of the job I want to apply to, and it edits the existing template to match the job description? I've tried ChatGPT, but it sometimes makes up experiences, which isn't appropriate. It needs to stay within my actual work experience. If this is possible, with me still checking it thoroughly, it'd be much more efficient. Some might call it lazy, but I prefer efficient… I know there are AI CV/resume platforms…

hi howdy. I graduated from college with a BS in sociology (listen. I had plans for that – but the pandemic hit while I was in college and that entire experience has kind of shattered any aspirations I had about going to grad school). ever since I feel like I have been dropped into some sort of awful maze.

I thought I was doing things right. but as of right now I feel so lost. I have no clue what I want to do with my life in terms of work. the thought of working 40 hours a week for most of my life legitimately makes me want to die. I am looking into some sort of extra education at community college to qualify me for…

I believe that corperate workers deserve to be treated better and to be compensated much more equitably. But I have a feeling I just can't shake. I saw a post on Instagram which showed two people in their early 20s talking about how they wanted to quit their corporate jobs after only 6months. What follows is the rant I wanted to post in response. The average salary for a corporate job as of may 2023 pays $65,000/year, the average retail worker makes about half that amount. Listen, I fully sympathize with not liking your job OR finding it challenging to stay motivated OR just feeling like you're not making a difference. But tell me…Do you get vacation days? What about a predictable work schedule? Can you attend events and family gatherings in the middle of the day on a Sunday? Does the company you work for have resources allocated to…
