A friend performed work and the company said it was the second interview. I told him to take action against the employer.

My friend got a part-time job as an ATM repair person and was hired after the interview. The employer sent a job offer letter which was signed and dated prior to the first job. The first job was a few hours from friends' location and the employer picked a friend up and they drove to the job. They both did simple work repairing the ATM and now his employer says the first job was really a second job interview. He was already hired and spent two hours of time performing labor and assisting the employer. He does not want to fight for the wages but I've told him his boss seems like a scammer and has multiple “atm” repairmen all over the state all running the same gig. They use one username for the CRM and it seems like the owner is just subbing out his work. My friend should…

End work place drug test

I worked for Ingersoll Rand last year between August and October, had to resign because apparently talking about marijuana at work is a NO NO even though over half of the country is legalized. I also slipped up and told a co-worker I had smoked the past weekend with my friends, ended up in the “principals” office aka my regional manger and was ultimately forced to resign. This was in SC. Stop fucking worrying about what I do after hours

Anyone else saving as much as they can so they can stop working as soon as possible?

Once I've got enough to get setup somewhere I'm heading straight to a low cost country to be as self sufficient as possible

It’s too expensive even to die in America

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/11/opinion/economy-voters.html The NY times talked to 12 people who were struggling economically about what their lives were like. This one just killed me: https://preview.redd.it/ij6qdbzngah81.png?width=1240&format=png&auto=webp&s=cf403ed4f702366d0cbbdad47ab2994eec11ebdc

My boss looked at me like I was an alien

Small amusement. I had a disasterous day two weeks into my hotel job. My boss talked to me the next day and told me that I need to enlist help from housekeeping on days like that. I told her that's delegation, which is a management activity, and that she would have to pay me more if she wanted that. She looked so shocked that somebody has boundaries.
