Should I give the real reasons I’m leaving my current job?

I have an interview coming up and I know they often ask why you're leaving your current job. A man who sexually harassed me was never reprimanded for his behavior and I still have to work closely with him and my manager is a raging narcissist who is running my department into the ground. My mental health is at an all time low from this place. Obviously I would word it a little differently, but would that honesty make me look bad to the interviewer?

What is the definition of “performance based culture” mean?

Looks like some new hyper itemized terminology recently created. Got an email about it but what the fuck does it actually mean? Sounds to me like do work and extra work to be patted on the back.

Sister’s job has been overpaying her, now they’re withholding $$$ — is this legal ?

First time posting here, apologies if I start to ramble but I texted my sister about trying to plan a trip together and she just told me that her job has been overpaying her and now they’re refusing to pay her for two months. Basically they’re only going to pay her $400/month for April and May, and her job said that it’s called “garnishing wages,” so technically it’s not illegal. Apparently the woman in HR was “anxious” to tell my sister about the mistake in wages since it was her fault, but I’m furious that she didn’t tell her sooner. I have to know if there’s absolutely anything she can do? $400/month is actual peanuts and she has bills to pay. She’s already looking for another job in the meantime, but she’s crushed because she actually liked her job. Now she’s forced to borrow money from people to help pay…

Please stop with the legal advice

There seem to be an awful lot of “lawyers” here….please stop giving people legal advice or telling them to sue when you often don’t even have the most cursory knowledge of the situation. Maybe just say they should seek professional legal advice…because my own personal advice or opinion is, in all actuality, absolutely worthless to you.

hiring children.

Why do companies hire children rather then employ adults? My niece is 14 we applied at the same place and she got the job. I'm 33…why am i so fucking useless that a literal child with no bills or means to get herself to and from a job gets chosen above me. I hate myself. I just want to provide for my family.

I think I need a break just after joining

This sub is revolutionizing me from the pure PURE fucking hatred I now have towards the rich. I was suckered into the hustle culture bs for the past 7ish years killing myself in the process, meanwhile I've been under the poverty line for all of my adult life (28) minus 1 year directly out of college. Me staying here with my passionate personality will just lead to even deeper depression (not that I don't suffer enough) because I'm going to realize there isn't fucking shit I can do to fix this fucking disgusting world we live in. I need to step away from it all and just enjoy the little things life has to offer, enjoy my new p/t job & spend time with my wife & family. Watch some TV, play video games, walk 50-70km/week playing pokemon go with wife, eat as best as I can, meditate, listen to…

I’m tired of having to deal with these panel interviews. Each color is a different person (for context)

voluntarily identifying disability in job applications – yes or no?

I have multiple but I'm able to work – I know pretty much all companies have government “incentives” to hire disabled people or whatever… just curious if there's really a consensus on whether it helps or hurts. I've gone both ways and not noticed a huge difference.
