Hiring Managers are often suspicious of people in interviews. However, what are they Hiring people to do and why?

I went on a trip out of the country wherein I wouldn't be able to show up to work for 2 days. I had a vacation leave in a previous rotation (I am a medical intern) and for the first two days of this new rotation, I won't make it to work. The resident (my boss) has no idea that we were on a vacation leave previously so I can make up any excuse. Today is the first day of my absence. My co-workers have covered for me and told my resident that I had the stomach flu. My resident was chill about it according to them but he told my co-workers that I'd have to message him about my absence. Should I message him today or tomorrow? Take note that I still can't make it to work tomorrow anyway. If I message him today, how would I respond to…

Needless to say it's not the hardest job ever, and the people there (coworkers, clients) treat me well. But there's so much new information and stuff to memorize for such a short període of time, as it's a temp job. And I'll have to do my shifts alone starting this Friday night, so that's just more pressure not to mess things up.

Decided I wanted to share one of my worst stories about job hunting imaginable; the time I got a job interview basically just so I could be belittled. Some context; a few months ago I went from a news group I was working for in my home state to one in a completely different state I’d never been to. A few months in, however, I was fired because the training was bullshit (basically the people training me worked in a building 2 hours away so I couldn’t get the proper help I needed). I wanted to go back home, but I didn’t want to waste my lease of several months still, so I decided to try and make it in the state I’m currently living in, at least until I can move home. But I still needed a job, and that’s when I decided to look on Indeed, and found…

So they are taking money out of my paycheck in Oregon for a leave of absence that I doubt I will take. Where's my money going? Why can't billion-dollar Corps. help out?

When you consider a lot of your views and are honest with yourself you will see a lot of it come from the TV, films and books you had in your life. And what do those all pretty much universally show? Cops are always the good guys, even when they “break the rules” it's always the REAL bad guy as in they are never wrong. So much of people's views of law enforcement is shaped by the media since only a small portion of society has to deal with them. Note how quickly even the most fervent copaganda believers change their tunes once the cops come for them. Think of how many times in things the bad guy got it in the end and good triumphed over evil – and then look around. Somehow we believe this bullshit with nothing to back it up except for literal fiction. Look at…

Im a theatre guy currently working at chick FIL a. I got my first time paid theatre gig and I called off a bunch at chick FIL a to do this job. Things came to a head with my boss today and I stood my ground and said if he wants full loyalty from full time workers he should be paying 20$ an hour at least. I heard the upper management have a huge long conversation about wages after that. Keep standing your ground. Quit if you have to. But accept low pay no longer! Accept abuse no longer! You have more power than you think you do.

first workday of 2023 is tomorrow and I'm already fed up.
