Any thoughts on jobs asking for recorded interviews answering their questions? Number one being- I’m not being paid to provide them free content for advertising or training, especially since many use biased questions that incentivize positive responses.

Minimum wage is a mere pittance for the impovrished

They've pushed the impovrished into submission through low wages and threat of authoritarian violence if we revolt. I don't want to see society collapse because i haven't even got to finish my transition from M t F meanwhile big data and big data disguised as the lower class are telling me to be Male Corporations matter more than people. Respect the rich and powerful above all costs ​ what else is there?

Idk what half baked “venture capitalist” pays in exposure and requires a 6 month unpaid probation for maybe paying someone even minimum wage. People on LinkedIn suck.

How Hot Topic fucked me over

TL:DR included I used to love Hot Topic but they are such a shitty employer that I feel like people need to hear this. So let me start at February 2020: I got hired at Hot Topic and made minimum wage. Whatever. It was a job. For the first few weeks, I worked. But as the weeks went on, I started getting fewer and fewer shifts. There was even a week where I wasn’t scheduled at all. The managers told me that hours depend on how much money the store is making. Then COVID happened and I got furloughed. Cut to July 2020: Hot Topic opened back up. Scarce hours still but I eventually ended up getting to work one day, four hours a week. Still shitty, but whatever. Then August 2020: My gf at the time’s birthday was the same day as a shift of mine. She was very…

After this company laid off 10% of their workforce, they treated the rest of their employees to a charcuterie board. Nourishment for all the extra work you’ll be taking on. “We’re hiring!” #keap

Blue collar shifts start at 6 am. WHY?

“Nobody wants to work manufacturing” they say. Yet the plant shifts start at 6 am. While some jobs in farming/forestry are daylight dependent or animal cycle dependent, this isn't the case for indoor manufacturing jobs which also start at ungodly hours. Is this really necessary or it's an hierarchy thing?

Almost 2million of us with most of us having the same damn problems.

Nothing is changing. Wtf?!? These little pay bumps don’t even equal inflation. I’m super pissed about this economy. Nobody in Dc and definitely no CEO gives a shit. What or how is this going how end ? because I can’t last much longer.

College should be free or at the very least affordable through a part time job.

The cost of college is ridiculous nowadays. Forget about the current student loans. We need to stop this issue at the source immediately before it gets any worse. Even just year by year the cost of attendance at my uni has steadied +$500-1k. I know a freshman who enlisted in the army to pay for it because they said they had no other choice. He calculated his degree would cost near $200k. Enlighten me how a fresh grad is gonna pay off $200k debt that grows $20k every year on top of rent, food, and bills. Maybe in his life time, if he even gets a job. There is no free will anymore.
