My last job I had to do an online test, a phone interview, an in-person interview, and as part of the in-person interview they had me shadow a worker for 2 hours. In total it was about 6 hours and the commute was 1.5 hours. Why don't potential employers pay you for giving them your time? A lot of times workers need to take time off their current job to make the interview.
One of the managers keeps sending me the same overtime message each morning that I’ve already saw from the email. I’m getting very annoyed at this point after saying no thank you after each message. I am NOT working overtime after a long day and working already over 8+ hours, fuck off
The rich don’t suffer from inflation. The poor do.
One of the things I look forward to at work is…my office (I work at a school). It might sound a bit superficial but it makes a big difference in my day to day. I have a window and get plenty of sunlight throughout the day. I love my privacy and the location of the office. I've been working there for almost 5 years. We recently hired a few new full-time professors and so we are expanding and in need of more space, in general. Today, my boss told me that one of the new professors will need an office and that we are currently short of one. They said that the department is planning on making the current copier room into the “department office.” My boss did not say “we are moving you.” I asked them, “What do you mean by 'the department office'? and they finally responded: You.…
So I've been struggling to find work and applied to a job in my area with Hershey that seemed like a perfect fit. It was within the hours that my kid was in school, it had decent pay and seemed like an interesting gig. I finally got offered an interview and was waiting for the phone call this morning. Only I never got a phone call, I had no number to reach out to either..then suddenly I got a voice-mail. I was on my phone Googling trying to figure out if there was a number I was supposed to call, it never rang. I listened to the voice-mail and called the number back only to be told I missed my chance, it looked bad that I didn't answer and I might as well forget the job. I figured he was an asshole so I called again and got a different…
For context, I work in fast food and about 5 people in the past few weeks have gotten COVID. I’ve worked with all of them really closely because I’m full time. I tested positive for COVID on Thursday and continued to have a fever until Sunday. Then on Monday I got a fever again which went away yesterday. Then last night as I was going to get myself water I tripped downstairs and I guess I twisted in a weird way because I heard a pop. Now I can’t walk and it hurts when I lift my leg. I got a call this morning, I could tell my boss was furious. She asked me all about how it happened and when it happened. Apparently I’m lying because how could I know I popped a ligament if I’ve never popped one before? And how could I have COVID and not get…
So I currently work two jobs. The first one I started a few months ago in person which I’ve been doing great in. 2nd job is remote, I’ve been working here for 3 years, at first it started in person and I’ve been remote for about a year in the evenings. I’ve seen people who come and go but I been with my department the longest (besides my manager). Anyways the new manager who was previously a supervisor has always been on top of everyone’s work making sure we are doing what we suppose to. Lately she’s been sending me emails saying things are unacceptable and I need to read the emails and blah blah .. but honestly I send more then 100 emails a day while everyone else sends like 20! When it was peak season I pulled all the weight at night .. anyways we usually have Friday…
I’ve been reading the stories on here and I relate to many of them so hard. I live in a position of privilege and while my job is not that bad and I can still wfh, I hate it. I hate it so much that I’m mentally checking out. I tune out during meetings and I just really don’t care. I need to find a need job and switch careers. I’m slowly upskilling, but all I want to do is stop and not work for a while or do my own thing because I’m so exhausted and burned out with everything. I really don’t know what else to do and I feel lost.
