managers think they’re more important than a college graduation

Company conducted 3 interviews with me for a total of 6.5 hours, had me complete technical writing sample that took 4 hours, ghosted me.

I know there’s nothing illegal about this, but this is a lot of time to waste on an interview process for everyone involved. They had me do a 4 hour initial marathon interview with the people in my prospective department and asked me to interview the same people 2 months later. The position I applied for paid substantially more than the position I was told I would be a candidate for at the end of the 2nd interview. I inquired about my status in the subsequent months and there was no response. The screen of the head of the department was briefly shared by accident during my last interview with an email that read “this person would be a good fit for X position”. What gives? Why is it okay to take so much of anybody’s time without compensating them? I have to donate my capacity to do labor in…

Why do so many careers require a college degree?

I was listening to a podcast about massage and physical therapy assistants. The PTA on the podcast mentioned that in new Jersey that he could do everything a PT could minus diagnose. The PT had to sign off on his paperwork but clearly the state considers the PTA to be a highly trained professional. However it takes 2 years to become a PTA and 7.5 to become a PT. Four of those years are undergrad. Is this actually necessary? Could we produce PTs in say 4.5 years? 3.5 of from their current post grad work with an additional 1 year of targeted undergrad like courses. I believe this is anti work because education can be a huge obstacle to people getting better jobs. It seems like in some careers we kind of give people requirements that don't always serve the career they join. It just increases the gap between what…

Yelled at show showing up on time.

So earlier this week I asked a simple work related question and my boss called me rude and disrespectful. I decided then that I’m not gonna be coming into the office 20 minutes early to chill before it’s time to clock in or hang around at the end of the day and I did that for two days showing up right when it was time to clock in and this morning my boss straight up yells at me in front of 5 other coworkers calling me unprofessional,immature and very disrespectful saying I’m not being a team player when I’m always helping out the other guys on our team.

UPDATE: company I don’t even work for required screenshots to prove “honesty”

Original post: https://www.reddit.com/r/antiwork/comments/tgiqru/company_i_dont_even_work_for_required_screenshots/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share After having another interview scheduled and confirmed over the phone and through text Kimm missed that one too! She had given me the number for her direct line so I left a voicemail at 4:31pm after not receiving a call at 4:30. I also sent her a text message asking if we needed to reschedule. I received no response until 7:13pm. During that 3 hour window I did a couple things. I talked with my long time friend J who was the original one who told me they were hiring and to apply. He said to call the main office to speak to her boss R. I did that. Around 5:30 I called the office, speak with a nice lady who took notes of the situation and passed them along to R. I got a call back from this lady around 6 saying Kimm should be contacting…
