I've had two companies I applied to today (capital- customer service representative position & walmart- front end associate position) ask me if my parents have been on food stamps in the past 10 years. What's up with this and what does my parents income have to do with a job application? Personally, I think this should be illegal as it's really none of their business. I'm just tired and beaten down by this society and this environment.
I have learned so much from this sub, however it now all I see is reminders of this cruel capitalist world we live in and it has made me feel extremely miserable. It was still very informative nonetheless. Bye everyone
get a fucking job
I’m not able to sleep and I know I’ll be unsafe to work tomorrow. That’s good enough for me but I’d like to hear your go-to excuses for when the truth won’t go ever well.
With so much emphasis on poor working condition, and employees not being taken care of by rice corporations, what do you think about agressive automation. Most of the grueling works like warehouse workers, delivery service, resturant servers etc can be automated with current level of technology. All the corporations has to do is a cost/benifit analysis with raising costs of keeping an employee, it's much better to have robotic once. The major risks will be adapting the business operations around automation. Specially all services based industries specially have to pivot because current models are based on human service providers.
The laws and regulations are vastly different from country to country, region to region, state to state. If you don't say where you're located, most of us will assume America and give you bad info if that's not right.
