https://www.reuters.com/world/us/strong-us-employment-gains-expected-march-jobless-rate-seen-falling-37-2022-04-01/ There were a near record 11.3 million job openings on the last day of February, government data showed on Tuesday, which left the jobs-workers gap at 3.0% of the labor force and close to the post-war high of 3.2% in December. The labor pool is expected to have continued to gradually increase in March. Lower unemployment numbers means workers can demand higher wages and turn down poor working conditions. Contrary to your conservative, retired uncle who claims “nobody wants to work,” people are actually coming out to work in large numbers. It's just that they don't have to submit themselves to poor wages as often.

April Fools Real/Fake 2 weeks notice
I hear about all the drama at my spouse’s work every day. Latest juicy tidbit one coworker is fed up with it all and got an acceptance letter for a new job two days ago. He mentioned to my spouse this morning they’re going to text their manager (the direct cause of all the issues) that they’re putting in their two weeks. Then wait a little bit, and text them “April Fools!” then send in their real two weeks notice on Monday. Love this.
I'm an AP Processor Intermediate. My whole team thinks I should be senior level, based on my skill level. Including Leaving (Sr) coworker and Partnering on big project (Sr) coworker. The big project is long term, never going to end, and needs to be headed by a senior level processor. For reasons?? Partnering coworker thinks I'm a better fit and wants me to head it. Leaving understands the project and wants me to head it. Manager wants Partnering to head it in meetings, but me to do all the heavy work. Since me heading it would mean I'd be promoted to senior level. Partnering is trying really hard to get everyone the best solution, without actually heading the project. I'm trying to head the project but only if I get the promotion to senior level. Manager is out till Leaving's last day next week. So I have a couple days…
This is more of a rant than anything, but why is it that I can’t go even an hour at work without one of the many people I answer to coming back and telling me that something else has to take priority. I’m told to stop working on the project I am currently on and work on this “hot priority” project. Not every department’s project can be a priority at the same time. Before 9am this morning I am already being pulled in 3 different directions and already feel the need to just zone out and decompress. Why do companies continue to take on more contracts and projects then they know their workforce can handle?

UK won’t pay – Taking Us For Fools
Hi everyone! We're a national campaign set up to tackle the cost of living crisis. We are not a political party, nor do we support any one party. This is about doing something now to protect ordinary people. We're launching today with our petition – www.ukwontpay.com/petition – calling for a reversal of the energy price cap rise today which sees bills increase by up to 53%… that's £693 a year for the average British household. More rises are planned in October! Please sign up if that's something you support. We will also be campaigning against other price hikes impacting ordinary UK people whilst small numbers in our society continue to rake in huge profits! #ukwontpay #takingusforfools
