Employee Appreciation Week.

Companies need to stop. If you are just going through the motions then dont do it. It makes you look terrible. We have a mostly remote work force right now and our leaders are offering coffee (which is free all the time like all offices) and pastries. Why bother really…. How about good raises? Respect? Listening to employees? That would make me feel appreciated way more.

Did this dude just say intel factory in Ohio will be paying an average wage of 135,000 annually?

I’m asking. I’m really confused and I’d bet 5$ intel gonna be now hiring 18/hr as soon as that bullshit is built.

Absolutely nothing is sustainable

I’m 22F in Denver. I have a massage therapy certification, but left the field after about 2 1/2 years due to extreme physical and mental fatigue, I would’ve done permanent damage to my body had I continued, and I absolutely despised it. I recently got the first job I’ve ever had that I like. I have had to take on two additional part time jobs to make up for the missing income, and this still does not completely make it up.

Due to a car payment I took on when I was making over twice the hourly income I am now, I can’t afford to even eat after paying my bills. My boyfriend has spent everything he has trying to allow me to work a job I enjoy. I work 40 hours a…

Are you worried Biden is making a push to get at home working off the table for the future?

I think it’s horrible, what I’ve heard about the New York mayor and others, now Biden… Work from home is the future, embrace it FFS. I don’t want to be forced to pay hundreds if not thousands in travel I could spend on rent and food and …. My life.

I did an interview via Zoom and when I enter the call I heard an automated voice saying “this meeting is being recorded”. The interviewer grins and looks at me and asks me if it’s okay. What am I supposed to say? Why couldn’t they have told me before that it was going to be a recorded interview?

I didn't want a video recorded of me, but it's hard to not consent, given the power dynamic. They're holding a job over my head, and if I don't agree to be recorded, do you think they might hold that against me? To top it off, I didn't get the gig. I want the recording destroyed/deleted. Nope, it's their property now.
