Finally get to be a shit employee at Company Shit

I can’t really share this publicly yet so I figured I’d post here. I just accepted a verbal job offer that will almost double my current salary. The position is in tech with a company that seems like the real deal. My current role is tech support for a big name, but buried in layers of subcontracting. The software I currently support is pervasive and complex but really doesn’t inspire me at the end of the day. The position is also ass. I’m a contractor, and my contracting company offers shit wages, shit benefits, and I get no PTO. The company I’m contracted to has also completely changed my role 4 times, moving me to more complex teams and giving me more responsibilities, but the wages and benefits have stayed the same. My contract has been extended indefinitely and they’ve tried to dangle the carrot of a pay raise, but…

I can finally add to the letter pile…I should mention that’s this was written by 50yo cokehead, who’s having a completely inappropriate relationship with one of the staff, less than half his age….I may be sarcastic, but I never threatened anyone. Please enjoy.

anyone wanna talk about personality tests for jobs

i'm just going off cause im very angry rn as someone who's looking for jobs and already is tired of the continuous asking of me to make an entire account for each individual company i apply to, for whatever fucking reason. but the most annoying thing will always be finally finishing retyping all of the shit that's literally on your resume, just to be met with that dreadful follow up email. “thank you for taking your time to apply, now the next step is to do a 30 minute personality test so we can figure out how depressed you really are and if you will sacrifice your sanity and physical health for this 15/hr job.” it's fucking ludicrous. i just had a job (it was a big bank company) tell me i needed to download a gaming app to finish the “next step” of my application. i was reading the…

I left my shitty job a month ago and have been at my new job for a month now. I already don’t like it, even though the people who work here are nice, I just hate the work itself. Maybe I’ll never find a job I like.

About to interview. What is “inappropriate make up”, and is this legal? (U.S.)

I'm about to interview for a job with homeless youth. I have plenty of experience, not worried about it very much. I'm preparing for it right now, and re-reviewing the job description as part of my preparation. While reviewing, I noticed it says “[…] benefit of professional/casual dress […] therefore, expects no deviation from the policy […] including inappropriate clothing, make up, hair, and jewelry”. What does this even mean? Is it legal for them to dictate appearance like this, including make up? What even is “inappropriate make up”? I just want to know my rights. Please only sincere answers. Thanks ahead.

The Guy Who Would Have Been My Boss Quit the Day I Was Supposed to Get a Job Offer

Turns out the guy who would have been my boss fucking quit the same day I was supposed to get an offer. This was for a Motion designer job for a big Edtech company. $60,000 – $65,000/year salary, fully benefitted, and remote. I really wanted this job. Three weeks of interviews. Aced every single one. I even made an animation for them for free, making a custom social ad for their brand, and shared all the project files them so they could see how I work. On Friday they said “We'd reach a decision by early next week”. On Monday, I heard nothing. On Tuesday the recruiter emails me “Just checking in, we'll have a decision if not late today, early tomorrow”. At 4:30pm on Wednesday the Recruiter calls me and says “In true startup fashion the position that we had for you is no longer available due to a…

(2 pics) Working in social services is physically & emotionally draining. This place requires a bachelors degree &/or lots of experience for $16 per hour, not to mention just part time to ensure your benefits suck.
