I started this job about a month ago. I am a full time grad student and it's my last semester so I'm pretty busy with thesis work and classes, and I also have another part-time job that I love but doesn't give me enough hours so I applied and got this job. I answer the phones for a popular festival. The average event price is $75 and people can easily get up into the hundreds with their purchases. The office is open Mon-Fri 10a-2p and one girl works MWF, I work TR 9:30a-2:30p. I get paid $13.50/hr (minimum wage is $7.25 but most places tend to offer around $10, so I was pretty stoked). Came into work this morning really early because I had an appointment nearby this morning. I sat at an empty desk and waited until closer to my scheduled start time to clock in. My boss encourages…

i apply to every kind of job and never hear back. im hearing everyone else is also struggling which just makes it harder to want to try. its starting to get embarrassing im 23 and unemployed living off my parents and i have no discernible skills and my college degree is a fucking joke. feeling very hopeless rn. anybody else struggling?

I’m an independent contractor and I haven’t gotten paid for last week. It only takes a click of a button. Today, they asked to hop on a call for a meeting but I didn’t answer the text message. The meetings are never just 30 mins, it’s always a hour and a half or more. I didn’t feel like doing small talk and I have finally realized I’ve been doing basically free labor for them with the amount they’re paying me. They always dictate when I should talk to them, meetings, to the rate they’re paying me. Should I tell them my availability or send them an email stating that they haven’t paid me?

Hi, so I’ve been looking for jobs for quite a while now and done everything under the sun that’s been suggested to me or otherwise to find one I am disabled and I also pretty much have to work remotely right now It is really important to me to be ethical but I pretty much won’t be able to eat next month if I can’t get something soon, and the food banks near me are super hit or miss I was doing a bit of gig work recently until a bad flare up in my illness hit me I’m thinking of making a fake business w a website, phone number, etc to try to get a job I’m out of ideas rn, I’ve tried basically all the mock interviews, networking, resume critiques and rewrites, warm and cold applying, etc etc
