I overheard an exec say they’re going to close our location and let us all go in 4 months without warning. How can I milk this knowledge. (California)

A higher up was on a call with someone and I overheard the whole thing. I’m wondering if I should start applying for other places now, or wait to get laid off then take unemployment. Also open to any other options. Screw corporate

It’s finally happening; no living wage jobs here so I’m getting ready to live in my car.

I’ve held out for as long as I can. Side jobs (I’m very good with my hands), gig work here and there and so forth, but realistically there’s nothing here that will sustain me. I’ve begun selling off my tools to survive and soon they’ll all be gone, and for what? To pay rent. Not even to eat. Just to have a roof over my head. I’m able and more than willing to do work for appropriate pay but nobody here is offering it. I’m downsizing and getting smaller but don’t think I’ll forget this grave injustice, because I will not. And I will inflict it on this shit ass system any way I can.

Just accepted an offer for a 40% raise, by keeping my expected salary high, and counter offering a lower offer.

I'm a teacher, not in US, but the job seeking process has been horrible, i hate dealing with unprofessional recruiters that try to convince me to take jobs I know I wont like, or try to convince me I'm worth less than i know. I've had more interviews than I've ever had before, a couple of which went pretty horribly, another company got to the point of giving me an offer before ghosting me. Finally broke through and had a good interview with a nearby company. The interviews went well but then they sent me a first offer that was just a little more than i earn now, so I counter offered for 20% higher and the recruiter and company seemed shocked at that, acted like it wasn't going to happen and I should be grateful for their previous offer. Stuck to my guns and said I'm sorry but that's…

If an employer requires a doctors note for you to stay home they should have to pay for the doctors visit if the doctor says you’re sick.
