Antiwork

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.

Hello all! Longtime viewer but first time poster. I work as an MMJ reporter at a small local television news station in a rural area. I’m keeping things confidential (even though I know that’s unpopular) just to be safe. Basically, I’m contractually bound and my buyout is $3,000. I can’t afford this and I want my employment terminated. This would mean I would only have to adhere to the company’s non-compete but I’m getting out of the business so it’s no big deal. I’m getting married, have a daughter on the way, and my coworkers think I should leave and not come back. I’m not too worried about legal action but that’s always a possibility. What should I do? I can answer any questions below too.

Is it illegal to discriminate if someone lives in a homeless shelter? Someone I know was talking about tearing up applications that has the address of the local shelter. He said “Yeah, if they were such good workers, how come they ended up homeless?” It pissed me off enough to end my friendship with them. I can't imagine being in a shelter and applying for jobs and never getting a call back because some jerk is doing this. How is anyone in that situation supposed to get their life back on track?

OK – got an interview tomorrow with a place that I sent a resume to a couple of weeks ago. Red flags all over. Guy didn't introduce himself. Guy did not mention name of business. Guy did not seem to grasp that I might not remember him offhand, I've sent out a lot of resumes. Guy wanted an interview in an hour. (I put him off until tomorrow.) I am getting a strong vibe that either he's a serial killer or their office manager just walked out in a huff and left them stranded. The address is in an established business park. I am bringing mace. But can someone offer a way to not get hired so I don't mess up my unemployment? (The company being run by a psycho is probably not a reason to turn down a job.)

Just hit me last night. and maybe it was only where I've worked. Get called in for evaluation and get 4.5 ?Because they won't let me give anyone 5″ Then spend several minutes saying what an exception worker I am,positive example etc… Blowing past all set goals, but nope. New goals set are for thing not even close to my job prescription. Asked a woman in HR on the DL if anyone gets 5 she said only at Admin levels. From now on any where I work I will make sure to meet expectations
