I’m being headhunter but don’t need to leave my current position. Every email I get, I just respond, “What’s the pay scale and benefits?” so that I am taken off their list.

Full-time is not full-time

Had an interview for a full-time salaried position (9-5:30 – 37.5 hours) and was told “if you're expecting to leave at 5:30 then this job isn't for you.” Seriously?? Fuck you. How's about you advertise the real fucking hours required for the role then? Like, I get it, there's projects and deadlines and sometimes you'll need to work past your designated hours to get shit done. I have absolutely no issue with that. But IMO, this should be an exception or during crunch time, not the norm when offering a full-time role. You're advertising a 37.5 hours a week position, and I'd be signing a contract for a 37.5 hours a week position.

We could have actually worked towards creating things that would last lifetimes. It's all basically just a pointless fucking cycle meant to enrich the wealthy and keep us dependent on them. We could have clothes that last a lifetime, but instead we make them out of cheap materials with sweatshop workers, and literal child slave labor. Lightbulbs were on a trend to last years. There is a lightbulb from long ago that has been burning for more than a million hours. It's pretty famous, it was in a firehouse. It's a tourist attraction now. But basically a lightbulb cartel formed, out of the major lightbulb companies. And they conspired to lower the lifespan of lightbulbs. So people…

A colleague moved out of state to care for his ill mother. Someone contacted him asking when he thought his mother would die because they want him back in the office full time.
