I am employed full time and I'm looking to change roles to something that is less stressful than my current role. If you read the news anywhere, we are being told there are too many jobs and not enough people to fill those roles. One of my gripes with the above statement, is that job advertising is so disingenuous, its laughable. I am looking for a role that is fully remote. There are 2 reasons why I have given up using my countries most popular website for job searches. Firstly, 90% of the time you will find “We expect you to come into the office 3 times a week :-)” or “this is not a fully remote role” somewhere in the ad. Secondly, you find a suitable role listed as WFH, they have one of the above messages in the ad, but fuck it, the job looks good, only to…

for some context: steve sent out a message on slack saying he wasn't going to be granting any more time off for the holiday season. i didnt know at the time, but my family was planning a trip for thanksgiving. i told him, and expressed that i wouldn't be in california and im not sure what to do, and thoroughly apologized for the inconvenience. I got back from the trip, and wasn't on the schedule. Instead, there were two new people. found out later that the person he hired in my place got in a massive fight w our cool manager about eating in her work attire and fucking took off her clothes in the middle of the restaurant. AND THE KICKER: they went bankrupt and shut down permanently 3 weeks after they fired me. fuck you, steve.

Thank you

How do I find one? Is there some website or network I'm unaware of? Anyone have suggestions? I can't work through my problems with a bootlicker.

Just a rant/story: It was 1987/8. I was working part time at a company that manufactured audio components (remember those?) in their marketing department as a support person while putting myself through college. My duties centered around the marketing department and included shipping stuff out for them (shirts, mugs, devices samples, etc). Pretty mindless stuff but I absolutely loved the company and their products. At the end of every day, just prior to or when the shipping companies would turn up, this sales/marketing douchbag (DB) would come down and dump a crap ton of stuff on me and tell me to get it out that day. Mind you, DB had all day to get the pile to me, but he waited until 5:30pm every day, just before his fat ass went off for his high carb dinner. At one point I called him out on this untenable situation: Me: “Why…

Someone on my team just quit, they posted an opening to replace them. The low end of the pay range is more than I make and I’ve been there for 5 years. Im thinking about quitting and applying for the job. Heck, with 5 years experience in the EXACT job, I should be able to hit the middle of that range and get a $12k a year raise.

My wife worked at a larger name real estate company in Calgary for 5 or so years. Did a ton of extra work for them, went above and beyond by doing multiple jobs for them to help out. She takes mat leave, gives them notice 4 months prior to returning as required for someone on leave. She calls, emails and nothing in return. They finally respond a couple weeks before her return date and say ok we will see you then thanks. She walked into the office, got pulled aside and told she was fired for leaving them in a “bad spot” by going on leave. Why couldn’t they tell her weeks or months before she was set to return so she could find another job? She is currently working with employment standards and filing a complaint. Luckily she was able to find work quickly, but I just wanted to…
