Antiwork

How do I politely/professional ly respond to an email and say “That's not what I asked. Read the email and answer the freaking question!”

I interviewed today for a position that seems very interesting. However after talking to hiring manager. The manager did not want to hire anyone for the position. The hiring manager has an issue that he was looking for free consulting for the business. I told the Hiring manager I would only go so far giving the answer. Because I don’t give away my knowledge for free.

Feel like this belongs and I'm a bit pissed about it so might as well put it here. Went to apply for a job that was advertised as “Customer Service Associate” which all and all can mean anything but I've mainly heard it to refer to cashiers and the like. Was also advertised that there were Part Time and Full Time positions available. Now for personal reasons, I'm only looking for Part Time, that's it. I don't want/need a full time position, at all. So I get an email about my application for a “Full Time Warehouse” position. Like I guess a “Warehouse” position can be covered as a “Customer Service Associate” but I've never heard it being used like that before. So my real issue comes with the fact that it's only full time. So I applied for “Part Time Cashier” and got sent to “Full Time Warehouse”. Like…

I had my yearly review today and it went well, until my program manager told me what the standard raises would be this year for anyone in the “raise pool” (1-3% as mentioned in the title). I work at a mid-sized IT company as a network engineer on a government contract. Somehow, they believe it’s acceptable to potentially offer employees a 1% annual raise in a year where our purchasing power has decreased by over 8%. How would this incentivize anyone to do their best work? I’ve made about $70k since February 2021. Luckily I’ve planned on our raises being a joke, so I’ve earned two more industry certs in the last month, brushed up my resume and started applying for dozens of open networking and security positions in the last couple weeks. Why do companies think they can offer these (in my opinion) insulting raises? Honestly, our turnover rate…

I’m 18, just wrapping up my first year of college. I’m applying for full time work as a receptionist, saving up to buy a house next summer. I have my Microsoft office specialist certification, and 3 years of employment history as a nanny and fitness class instructor. I’ve applied for maybe 15 jobs so far and none have gotten back to me. All the jobs I applied for were $25-40k paying jobs, as a receptionist/assistant. They all wanted at least 4 years of experience as a receptionist/customer service or a bachelors degree. How is anyone that experienced going to go for something paying that low???

I gotta rant. My gf landed a job at DG and the first thing they had her do was sign papers stating she wouldn't be part of a union. Not only that but she finished her 1st day and told me they don't get lunch breaks unless they're scheduled beforehand. She worked 5 hrs on her feet without any food and was starting to get woozy. Sounds illegal but ok.

Exact quote was condescendingly remarked on how “Those people from those shit hole countries put family first” (As if caring about ones family was a bad thing) It was followed up by ” How does Africa have the oldest civilization on earth and still need our aid” and ” Why don't they just move to somewhere colder” ​ I'm am not white, so I'm just supposed to sit here and wonder what they say about my country when I'm not around? Can't wait to leave without notice whenever I fucking feel like it.
