Use. GlassDoor. Folks. Please. Name them and shame them. We're at a crucial point in our battle, and these dinosaur Boomer + salty Gen X folks think they're winning the leverage battle with the rate hikes + recession fears. This is all short-lived, and power will ultimately stay in the hands of technically competent people who are building the modern world… Some dipshit cocky ass recruiter douchebag or bimbo “talent & culture champion” who asks you bs questions? Starts conversation with remote promise and then switches to hybrid mid-conversation? Let that stress out. Blast away on GlassDoor Some cocksucker hiring manager who made you complete a long-ass BS assignment and then ghosts you for weeks and doesn't bother even getting back with a courtesy reply. Turn the tables on them with bs time-theft accusations Write that review on Glassdoor and send him this email: Just to let you know that…

every night i have a terrible dream about something realistic that happens at work. i am putting in my two weeks today at a family owned business, i feel so nervous i am about to cry. all i’ve heard from coworkers is how much they berate and bully people who quit. telling them the career they’re leaving for won’t work out, etc. i do not handle things like this well. as i type this i am on the verge of having a panic attack. i think that it is very NOT normal for a job to make me feel this way. i’ve worked a lot of jobs i didnt like, but never a job where i felt terrified at every moment also i was planning on not leaving til i had something else lined up but i physically cannot bring myself to do this anymore. its getting to the point…

When I was 21/22 I transferred to another one of our restaurants locations. GM hated me because I was from the owners first store “the baby store” and worked better than the rest due to being used to high volume. We had a busser who was great at work and with the customers. One night, after closing, he came up to me when I was getting in my car. He was going on about how I’m a great worker and how he is lonely because his whole family is in another country. He then gives me a hug goodbye and then forces his head to try to kiss me. The next day I spoke with a shift manager about it and how I was weirded out. She reported it to the GM without me knowing. A couple days later I get pulled aside for a meeting with the District Manager.…

I found a job doing what I love (Electrical work) I was pretty decent at it. And was loving every minute of it to the point where I would come in on my days off, if it were needed. I pushed myself really hard to learn how to to learn PLC and boolean. I started working on tons of projects and got to do all kinds of really cool things with robots. And then? I asked for an accommodation because I have narcolepsy. I often would fall asleep if somebody were talking to me or just fade away sometimes at my desk if I wasn't working on anything exciting. one of my co-workers told me that I should get a sleep study done. Maybe I had sleep apnea. Nope, it was narcolepsy. My doctors deemed it detrimental to my health for me to work a normal schedule. Took a huge…

I hate how Europeans ask this dumbass question. If we could make things better we would. I see this question on this sub almost daily. Maybe if Europeans had more culture they’d understand everyone can’t handle things exactly how they handle things in their small little culture.

On Monday, they reached out to me on LinkedIn with a really promising message about having a 15 minute phone conversation about an open position. They supplied the job posting as well and it honestly feels like a perfect fit. I replied at the end of my workday when I saw it (probably 4-5 hours after they messaged) expressing my interest and thanked them for reaching out. I also gave two times I would be available (which would have been today) and I'm wondering if that was presumptuous? I also mentioned that I was looking forward to the call and asked if I could share any documents prior. I haven't heard back and I'm not sure if I should message them again as I'm not sure if they're still considering me. It's still within the 48 hour range so I don't want to push it if that's too soon. I…
