What’s up with recruiters?

Step 1) message me on LinkedIn about a job opportunity Step 2) tell me how qualified I am and how impressed you are with my background Step 3) I’m flattered and am open to a conversation Step 4) ask me to create an account on their website. Upload my resume. Schedule a meeting with their manager. Talk to the manager about opportunities. Go through a 7 step process. Take drug tests. Take several tests to prove I’m qualified. Get put into a position to negotiate my worth. Step 5) I stopped at step 3 when they tell me to go to their website. If you reach out to me why the fuck would I go through all the steps to prove I’m valuable if you already think I am? The nerve of these dumb companies stuck on an ancient hiring system.

I work at Whole Foods. Recently these signs have been showing up near our breakrooms and punch clocks. Anyone else find this condescending? I know employees and customers in the Whole Foods subreddit have.

Overqualified?? What does it have to do with your ability to work a job?

This isn't about me, but I'm very confused. I have 3 different jobs in different industries that I enjoy, and I am working towards a degree in a completely other industry. I have seen it so often over the years that people get knocked back for being 'overqualified' for a job. I assume this mostly means America, but what difference does it make? If someone wants to work a low-end fast food job while they have an engineers degree – what on earth stops them from being as good at (if not better at) it than the adult who's 26 who dropped out midway through highschool? Are they getting paid more? Is that the whole thing? You have a degree to your name and suddenly people need to pay you 4 extra bucks an hour because you have a signed piece of paper? How does it work?? Can you just…

I want to get my boss fired but not sure how to go about it.

I worked fixing computers and smartphones for almost a year at this place and they just fired me for a kind of bs reason. Anyway, recently, before I got fired my boss admitted to saving old pics of nude women off the phones he was fixing at the shop he used to own before working at the place I just got fired from. He also has made many transphobic comments, being non-binary this made me especially uncomfortable. He also made excuses for one of the higher ups saying the “n” word, saying that sometimes it “just slips”. I won't get into the specifics, but I do remember specific things he said that I can bring up to HR or corporate. Who can I call to have the best chances of him losing his job? I was thinking of also making a Google or Yelp review and explaining everything he's done…

The absolute state of recruiters on Linkedin

Recruiters, absolute poxbottles in most instances. This job here, using remote to increase the hits, but it's in Peterborough, on-site, but you can work remote at the start however you'll eventually need to move to London? Ad is all over the place. Terrible human of a recruiter. ​ State

boss laughed at me for wanting to not work 11 hour shifts anymore after finding me nearly asleep in a chair

title. I deliver pizzas. travel time before and after work is about an hour and a half to two hours combined, so really it's like 13 hours. I'm sick of this. she's a shit manager and thinks literally everyone is against her and I'm sick of covering for my coworkers so they don't get fired for daring to defend themselves against her. I'm sick of working 11 (13?) hours a day, DRIVING, which honestly is fucking dangerous. I'm mad because I genuinely love driving but not to the point that I'm forced to take risks for it. I'm sick of covering the store alone while my boss and her favorite driver are in my bosses car hitting a bong for thirty minutes. that's not my job. I've told her time and time again that I work best when I'm told with specific, clear instructions what I should be doing with…
