Hiring Managers don’t even understand the concepts they are hiring for

Hiring Managers: Tell me about XYZ I explain it briefly, since we only have so much time in an interview Hiring Manager has a blank look on his face. Responds in a manner that shows he doesn't even understand what I just said. And… my motivation is walking out the door.

Gossiping Co-Workers

Hey friends, I’m new to the subreddit, so bare with me. So, basically I work in a private medical practice. There’s 8 girls (myself included) in my department. I am the youngest. The others are 28+ years old with families and stuff. So we don’t relate. I’ve tried to talk and be kind and initiate conversations, but recently I’m noticing that there’s some talk going on behind my back. At least from my understanding. A coworker and I got into a little tiff recently (because I wouldn’t do her job) and she told me yesterday, “this is what we’re gossiping about. I’m just telling you the truth.” That said, I’m sensing a lot of hypocrisy due to that if I don’t do portions of their jobs (cause they’re too busy talking) then its worth chatting about.

Working in an Office Where No One Really Knows What’s Going On

boss wants me to work an unrealistic schedule…. fuck that

I work 12hr days, 5 days a week. That adds up to roughly 60hrs a week. I dont mind too much, it sucks, but overtime is great and I'm trying to pay shit off fast. My boss is asking me to come in sunday for a 12hr shift. That means Ill work 72hrs this week, then have a day off, then work another 60hrs. Fuck that. She's saying theres a $50 incentive for coming in, but $50 doesn't give me back my day off. She even asked what im doing sunday, and I replied “absolutely nothing “. Im gonna sleep in, hang out with my family, and relax in my hammock listening to some good tunes!

Someone i went to hs with keeps posting a receptionist job for 45k a year

45k a year is less than 35k after taxes in NYC… one of the most expensive cities in America to live in. Needless to say, it’s been months and no one is interested.

Quit my job at a large international firm because the pay wasn’t competitive. Stunned to see the most obvious answer, ‘more competitive pay to at least match competitors’ omitted from the selections.
