Does LinkedIn just make it seem normal society behaviour is somehow positive or something to be proud of? Of course you should look after your child! It takes a village to raise a child.

Can’t bartend because my boss said I don’t have the look?

I work in a restaurant and asked if I could start bartending, they told me I “don’t have the look” whatever the f that means. Is this legal??? Isn’t that discrimination to a point???

My mom’s company gave her team 1 bag of microwave popcorn for employee appreciation week. In years past they would give the team muffins, bagels, catered lunches, gift drawings, etc.

My hiring manager told me not to discuss my negotiated pay rate because it would make “others upset”

I am not from the US. I applied to a completely remote job for an UK-based company with salary quoted as 90-110k pounds gross. The offer I got was basically half that, which is LESS than what I get from a natively Bulgarian software service company. When I inquired about it, they told me this is company policy and they adjust this to the person's cost of living. When I told them I am disabled and have 2000e monthly spending just on medication I got ghosted. How's that about 'cost of living'? How the hell do you know how much it costs for me to sustain my god forsaken body? What if I told you I live with rich parents, do you just slash my salary to zero because that's my cost of living? But this company's logic is that, as soon as they figure someone is disabled and actually…
