When the owner of the company passes away….

And they come around asking their middle class employees for donations for the funeral. 🤦‍️

I think I got ghosted by a recruiter

So about a month ago I had a recruiter contact me and setup a date and time to discuss the job. Little did I know it ended up being a phone interview that I felt went really well. I was asked questions that lead me to believe I had secured a position like “when can you start? “Would you like to be direct hire or contract?” “What are your salary expectations?” I was then told my resume would be forwarded to the hiring manager where it should only be a few days before hearing something back. Fast forward to today and it’s been silent. I’ve followed up with an email and a phone call. Did I get ghosted by a recruiter or should I still cling to the hope of getting a job? Has anyone experienced an extended amount of time before they received an official offer?

Office workers- would you prefer a 5 day remote work week or a 4 day work week in office?

In Canada, some companies are starting to look at 4 day work weeks as more productive and better incentive for employees so I'm curious as to people's thoughts- if you were offered a 4 day work week but you had to be in the office each day, or a 5 day work week remote, what would you choose?

Do I have rights as a former employee?

I used to be a chemical operator at a factory. I was wondering am I allowed to ask for MSDS or Sds material and safety data sheets from a previous employer. I recently took a Hazwoper training for a new company that gave me the training and learned about exposure and want to learn if I fucked myself up because of lack of knowledge and communication from the previous employer. I was wondering: 1.)Do I have the right to ask for the SDS and MSDS? Tia

I work as a cannabis delivery driver and we are currently fighting for a union contract. After our first meeting with the company they sent out this to customers. It feels like an intentional jab. We use our personal vehicles for work and they are in despair.

I am not suicidal.

I am not suicidal. I work ten hour shifts at a job that makes me miserable so that I can afford rent. I spend hours commuting/showering/force feeding myself so I can get to work. With my remaining few hours before it starts again, I then I get home to roommates that I hate. I lock myself in my room and stare at the ceiling wishing I didn’t have to go back tomorrow. I am not suicidal. I could get a significant other, but would I have time or energy to spend with them? Would they have the exact same work schedule as me? I don’t own a passport because I only get two weeks off in a whole year. I’d like to spend that time doing nothing but resting. I am not suicidal, but just logically, can someone explain to me how this is living? How is this loop of…

Previous place of employment ‘s reviews online

A place that I used to work at has been having some negative reviews on Yelp. I was snooping and found employee reviews with no mention that they work there (and honestly I feel that is deceiving). As well as the practice manager leaving a 5 star review with no disclaimer either. This place was good. They cared for the pets and took care of them. However, not everything was done/cleaned properly and the practice manager was barely a manager. Hired relatives and cared more about the face of the business than the staff/daily protocols. We had so many pets that it would be 5 staff to 150 pets, with 5 yards total. (Not to mention some pets had to be handled with NO other pets in line of sight). Never listened to staff’s feedback, suspensions were week long with pay, and never fired anyone until they did something bad…
