The OP stated that companies Ghosting applicants was wrong. This reply from an HR manager/recruiter said it was a perfectly acceptable practice.

Would you sit down to a game of Monopoly if the board and all properties were already owned ?

I took out the game of Monopoly and I set myself as the banker and gave myself all of the properties. I put hotels on each property and owned all the railroads/utilities. I then called in my family of 5 and asked them to sit down and play with me, naturally they wanted to clear the board and I said no, and explained this is a slightly different game. I explained that my great grandfather left me alot of properties and all the money to buy the other properties. I explained that it is acceptable because this type of thing happens all the time in real life and the law supports it. Naturally nobody wanted to play, so I had to sucker them in with a few “loans” to get them started. The loans had interest of course. My daughter rolled and landed on my property and already couldn't afford…

Unions should form affordable housing communities in my opinion, in buildings that focus on the soundproofing of rooms.

Found this graphic design job on Glassdoor. They were offering a salary that ranged from $45-55k per year, which at 55 hours a week comes to $19.23/hr if you’re lucky. Just say “We will own you” and be done with it.

Why is it such a taboo to be quiet, not share personal info, and keep to yourself at work?

As long as you’re not being a jerk to people and you’re doing your job, why does it matter you’re the only person in the office that doesn’t want to share the going’s on in your personal life? Why do so many people in the workplace seem to take it personally when a colleague prefers to keep to themselves, stay out of office gossip, do their job, and go home? Why do so many people take a colleague’s unwillingness to add them on their personal social media as a personal attack? In a nutshell, why is having strong boundaries at work so taboo? Look, we obviously have to be civil with one another. But we do not have to be friends. I am not obligated to share my personal life with you in ANY form. We’re here to do a job. If y’all want to share every nitty gritty detail…

I just left my job, I coudn’t stand it no more.

This was the job that had it all, nepotism, clicks, disregard for certain roles more than others, very bad managers, very abused and over worked managers and workers. Lead managers on power trips. I'll give a few examples and then ask a question of my own. This was when I first started working more than a year and a half ago FLM (the First lead manager), who hired me seemed nice at first, I had some health issues, I missed some shifts, honestly I understand that I made trouble, but, this is no way to handle it. If you try to check your online schedule at midnight Sunday to Monday, it will appear blank, it was not the first time I had my shifts cancelled for “being naughty”, so I thought nothing of it. So I missed my next shift, I didn't get a call, or an email asking where…
