It’s not that I don’t wanna work… but hear me out

I have no problem working. I have no problem devoting a small portion of my time to the advancement of something fulfilling. What I do have a problem with is the abhorrent working conditions. The exploitation. The complete lack and disregard for safety, and in some cases, the law. I've got no issue sweating outside performing some sort of labor. Shit, I know it's the most exercise I'll get and I need it. But if you are going to work me to the bone, then give me the means to provide for new bones. ​ I'm sorry, but there isn't any job on the planet that warrants a wage lower than what is considered a living wage in your area, unless you're being paid to sleep. In which case, you might have an okay deal. ​ I think the angry mob mentality often seen in this sub worries a lot…

Help – Can an HR ghost you after saying you got the job??

Hey, so i went on this interview for waitressing and after discussing the terms, they liked me and sent me an email saying they were very interested in hiring me (their words) and because i’m only 18 and still live with my parents, i decided to take the job part time and take the afternoon shifts instead of full time and, because their restaurant will open every day for lunches this month, they decided to wait “a few weeks” for me to go there to sign the contract… But today i saw their new ad for hiring new employees and i got scared.. so.. could they actually just ghost me? I mean maybe i sound stupid but they seemed like genuine people… Should i send them an email asking about it or is it too early?

“We are now in a hiring freeze” the day I’m supposed to start

I’m a truck driver and currently in between jobs because my previous employer did not have enough work to keep me at full time hours and it was to the point where I was only working 2-3 days per week. So I had a potential employer reach out to me and was interested in hiring me. I took their drug test, did all of their paperwork and watched all their videos (which took hours) and then I put in a 2 week notice to my previous employer which was set to end on 4/4/22. However, last week I only worked on Monday and Tuesday at my previous employer and then they told me they didn’t have any work for the rest of the week. So I reached out to the new employer and asked if I could start on Thursday 3/31 instead of Monday 4/4. The lady initially said “That…
