How do people actually land their first role ?? Jobs asking for too much experience ??

I'm a media 2019 graduate, who has struggled immensely in the job world. I finished uni, then shortly after did a short course, a few months later found a crappy internin marketing, now how im back at the cycle of job searching. It is still difficult because the 6 months is clearly not enough, and the jobs want me to have at least a year. I'm looking at interns but even then… at least a year. How will I get experience or land mt first actual job if everywhere wants like 2+ years of experience?? I'm baffled

Work not giving 10 min breaks or 30 min meal break (CA)

Started working last month at a new job. Usually have shifts that last 4 hours, I have never been offered a 10 min break. Had a 6 hour shift last week and was never offered either a 10 min or 30 min meal break. Well tonight I worked another 6 hour shift and decided to actually ask for them.

Then just walked away and muttered “ok” under her breath. It started to reach the…

I may be getting written up when I come back from break.

I work an assembly line for a toy factory. All day I stand in the same spot making the same toy over…and over … And over for $15/hr. The company has set unrealistic quotas for all of us to reach each night and all week my supervisor has been hammering in the fact that our numbers are to low. It's gotten to the point that we get reminded every single night that we will be given write-ups if we fail to reach at least 50% of our goal each night. 3 write-ups and you're GONE. Well… Tonight, (my day off mind you) I'm working a line with two other employees. The girl at the front of the line runs out of one of the parts she needs so she tells our lift driver to go find them. He returns around 10 minutes later and say that he can't find any…

Netflix puts profits over lives

According to this article, Netflix might start to show Russian propaganda next month in Russia: https://www.politico.eu/article/us-streaming-giant-netflix-set-to-broadcast-putin-propaganda/ Basically it means there is possibly war promotion that will literally lengthen the war and cost lives. Instead of doing the right thing and leaving they are considering to stay for the money. Maybe you want to tell them how you feel about it? https://help.netflix.com/en/contactus

Was told to post this here. This comes right after an employee’s family member was hospitalized. For reference most of us are in the 17-20 age range. The employee who spoke up was then called and yelled at for 10 minutes for “embarrassing him and encouraging us to stand up for ourselves”.
