I hate companies that make their interview process like this? Take home unpaid assignment?! ROFL. They can shove it!

WTF?! I’m too qualified to change oil so you won’t hire me??

I have been out of work for 3 months. I've given up applying for software jobs (2 years experience) and started applying for mechanic jobs (5 years experience running my own shop). I have heard from several companies that they won't hire me to be a mechanic because they think I will leave for a software job. I have bills I have to pay and I can't get interviews even for changing oil because I worked a desk job. I don't hold any current certifications or degrees and can't afford to get any. How does this make any sense I want to work and they don't want me. Morons! These companies are run by morons. They'd rather find someone who doesn't have experience who might be bad at their job and might just ghost them than someone who knows what they are doing and needs work.

Everyone Walked Out Last Night and Owners Have Learned Nothing

So I worked at this bar Casks and Flights. It's been a lot of drama so I don't even know where to start. The owners basically think they own their employees. They'll text and call at 6am or whenever that we're not even open to complain about every little thing, all while paying minimum wage and hosting all manner of events where the clientele don't feel the need to tip for some reason. To top it off, the owners are former FWB and are constantly complaining about each other. Lady Boss likes to refer to Guy Boss' current girlfriend as “GB's whore”. She even tried firing one of our bartenders because apparently she caught GB looking at her? It's seriously the least professional environment I've ever been part of. And these are also the kinds of owners who will show up during big events and see us be swamped like…

People being overly social ruins the workplace

It’s seems like people have this perception that they “need” someone in there presence at all times. My computer at now bringing out the web cams and think it’s not needed. Me in particular has meetings every week and that is not needed in my opinion. Went to first meeting and as expected random talking I don’t like. When that happens it’s gets personal and then that’s when the workplace is ruin. I think I’m a introvert. Thoughts on this ?

Omg, just give them UBI and they will survive. If a restaurant goes out of business it means it was obsolete. No need to keep it on life support and force people to go to stupid offices. So they have to pay for restaurant food instead of eating at home. Screenshot from a NY Times article.
