So I left my job and they garnished my last paycheck, is this legal?

So I left my job cuz I was tired of how unsafe it was and everything. Well at the beginning of the year I had to use all my vacation time cuz I had covid and was not financially prepared to miss that much work. I was supposed to receive my last paycheck today and when nothing was deposited in my account I checked my paystub and they garnished all my wages to pay for the vacation. Is this legal? I'm in GA if that matters.

Worked for a company for a year and a half, quit, and now, as I’m trying to find another job, they tell me it’s company policy that they never give references.

I've never heard of a company doing this before. Is this even legal? Are my potential employers going to find it odd that I don't have a recent reference for employment? Don't know what to do about it but damn this is frustrating.

got fired from a temp job on the first day.

i got fired from a temp job on my first day because they wanted me to do what they admitted was a four person job by myself. i need to find a job, because I'm running out of money and I'm getting fed up. wouldn't be so urgent if i hadn't used all my credit up because of the pandemic and because of an illness i almost died because. got fucking ghosted on a sales job for 40k who the fuck sends someone an offer tells them you will contact them with a start date after the back ground check and then never calls. i wish i could find a work from home job but i worry about getting scammed and my identity stolen. could use some words of support. wish i had family or friends to borrow money from, why is it so fucking hard to find a job.

I feel lost. I hate working

I feel lost. I wouldn't work if I could afford to live that way. I'm unhappy with my job but not sure where to go from here. I don't feel qualified for any job openings I've seen that pay as much as I'm making now. That is if they even post the salary. I've been out of college for less than a year and I already hate it so much. I don't know where to go from here
