It should be said: A lot of jobs NEED to be drug free for safety reasons.

Seeing a lot of posts about it. A lot don’t mention what job title they tried getting and couldn’t get hired because of thc. I’ll do it for jobs that should test regularly. Industrial jobs, warehouse jobs, construction jobs, any driving/delivery. literally any job that affects people’s safety.

How to make mouse move automatically?

If I idle more than 5 mins then it will lock the screen. I can’t download third party tools or plug in anything in there coz IT will check. Any idea?

Apparently being ‘American’ exempts you from being a decent human. Husband messaged a coworker who is arguably terrible at their job, and this is his response to being asked not to message out of work hours. He does this all the time. No one likes him. Management won’t fire him.

​ Not to mention his message is to check and pass on an official document that isn't approved and to a group of kids. Who would even do that at 01:30 in the morning??

Fixing poverty and homelessness

Responsibility. No one wants to take responsibility for creating the conditions that are causing homelessness in the first place. Failed capitalism is obviously the problem, but no one will admit it. While I do not see socialism as the answer, social programs are. If you want capitalism to work, then you need to increase taxes and throw money at the problem. Most do not want to accept increasing taxes, yet paying to throw the homeless in jail is acceptable? We need social programs to improve people's lives and it won't get fixed overnight. The problem took a generation to create, and it may take several generations to fix.

Mangaka of Lycopene the Tomatoy Poodle said that the COVID-19 situation has given him the opportunity to push against “the prevailing trend of romanticising overwork.”

He also states that like Elden Ring, the key to victory in manga is “not taking on more than you can chew”, which he definitely claimed that he's not taking hiatus because of it.

the name of this sub is very misleading

you people all have jobs that youre proud of and wouldnt dare leave under any circumstances. you are not anti-work but in fact the working class. you make yourselves look immature because you think its cool to hate your job when in fact you love it and it defines who you are. you disrespect the privilege of respectable employment because you want your friends and people on the internet to think that you are edgy and carefree. you are the type of people who sit around giving each other meaningless awards in grand ceremonies and treasure the idea of being acknowledged by your peers for being something that you are not and would never dare to be actually.

My boss took it for granted that I should work extra time without any pay!

The thing is that we are a company that sells some products. And every time when they are made, we need to check them. But there are two product kinds of products, I in charge of one. So the product manager (not my direct boss)told my colleague and me that we have to test all of it. I thought it was the product that I am in charge of, so I agreed. And earlier yesterday, he told me that we should leave at about 4 PM and I have to work extra time. I thought 8 pm is the latest(7 pm off work), so I thought that's all right, after all it's my job. So I left at 4 pm. When I arrived at the factory, I am so shocked since this is not our product, and it shouldn't be my job. But the product manager told us clearly that…
