So I have a friend that was hired into a position and a really lucrative field that has the potential to be a good career. This does make me happy but one thing I did not like to hear is that the management encourages going places after work with your coworkers under the comment of ” You need to socialize with your coworkers, Don't be reclusive”. Also tells people to smile…. This is not a retail job, This is not a position where you talk to customers in any fashion at all. I do not believe in forcing employees to hang out with their coworkers after work, because if they don't want to then they shouldn't have to. You're putting that person in a position that they may not be comfortable with because you have this idea that they should all be best friends. Thoughts?

Does anyone else feel this way or am I crazy? Currently sitting at home (I'm working from home and I appreciate this privilege) having to complete onboarding for a temporary gig and I just feel my soul leaving my body listening to corporate “benefits” for temporary employees (with deductibles, of course) and instructions on entering my time on a timecard, etc. All this talk of numbers and things that represent my time or existence practically kind of just has me going through an existential crisis. Of course, I want to work and make money to do things and accomplish goals, but just the idea of money, money, money doesn't entice me to want to dedicate all my energy to working. I would be terrible at sales. Is it so much to ask for a) enjoying my job/being passionate about something while b) simultaneously getting paid a living wage and being…

I had an interview today and they refuse to accommodate me for my disabilities (I literally only asked for my schedule to stay the same week to week bc I need structure) and they told me that would disqualify me from getting the job. I’m not 100% sure what the laws are but they’re the only place that has even given me an interview and I’m desperate for work. I was just curious what the laws are under the ADA and if that’s legal?

This is ridiculous. I know. But … my job is so overwhelming and demanding that I don’t have time to schedule a meeting to give my notice. So stupid, I know. I accepted a new job yesterday but I have been too busy and stressed at my old job to quit. I didn’t know where else to post this but I had to get it out. Work sucks.

So I used to work at a cinema and despite being one of the best workers who knew 90% of the job (I even trained new team leaders) they were never going to promote me so I left, had an interview for a petrol station and in my interview with the manager he confirmed I would come in as a supervisor, 3 months of training first but then promoted and back paid, brilliant right? Wrong! Let's go through a list of shit at this job 3 months training to become a supervisor? Still a sales assistant and someone else is supervisor My work schedule will work around my partners so we can see each other? Nope, she works a 9-5 and I work 2-10, so for 13 hours a day, we don't see each other despite being told that I'd only have to work 2 late shifts a week I…
