put my company out of business

So i thought id share my expierience working for a shitty company thats just as bad as amazon and how i made them go out of business. The november before covid hit i worked at a not very popular wanna be world class company in southern michigan that made the circuit boards for samsung phones and other electronics.When i started there everything was normal.the place was bustling with activity,everyone was mostly happy and things went smoothly.I was in the quality control department logging bad rejects into the computer,doing spreadsheets,etc.The first major red flag that hit was that they would constantly move people around to different departments without warning and you were expected to be able to do anything and everything there including driving a forklift without certification and when they moved you around you were given vague instructions on what you were supposed to do and not given any training…

Question about stolen tools

Hello everyone! I work as a plumber and recently had left one company for a better one and I had a bunch of tools that I had personally paid for stolen presumably by ex coworkers. I was just curious to know if anyone had any info as to would the employer be responsible to pay me for them? I have also called and left them a message explaining what had happened and they’ve been ignoring me

Advice for adjusting to a physically demanding job?

I get the most I can out of the job I recently started— it’s in construction. The experience relates to my interest, I enjoy being physically active, and the pay is great. Also, paid hour for lunch. I haven’t had a very physical job in a while, though, and my body is feeling it. Any advice? I’m going to be buff as hell by the end of this (I bulk up well), but I can tell this first month is going to be grueling.

Opposite of antiwork? I thought this sign captures the confidence this company is putting into candidates.

You are going to love this one. The number of hoops they are requiring to get this job is absurd.

Archivists and librarians: what have your experiences been like? Has working for public arts entities been more or less exploitative in comparison to private arts entities?

26/M unemployed musician here. I am currently completing a Masters degree in music and I am currently seeking work so I can move out of my parents' place. I have very recently applied for three positions: As assistant library at a local museum. Archivist at a theological library. Production coordinator for my country's national symphony orchestra. While I am not qualified in Museum Studies, Library Science or Archival work, these positions seem more bearable to me than working a demeaning job at a call centre. My sister recently insisted that I get one of these jobs in order to move out of my home in order to allow my parents to reduce their work hours from full time to part time (both are seniors). I have a friend (who studied fine arts) who works at my university's Education and Social Science library and she says she prefers it over working…

I want to quit, but I’m afraid of the response.

Hi guys! I am a recent grad working in a small healthcare center. I’ve been working here for about 3 months and I really can’t stand to be there any longer. I really want to quit, probably without notice, but I’m really afraid of the backlash/response. To give you an idea of the kind of environment I’m in: my boss is a bit of an ass (shows up an hour or so late every day, disappears and backs us up, rarely lets us have our 15 min breaks, constantly makes fun of me for wearing a mask, didn’t bother to give me any proper training but gets frustrated when I ask how to do something). Has anyone been in a similar situation and has some advice on how I should quit? Or maybe had a similar experience? For context, I don’t plan to stay in this industry, so I’m not…

How do you feel about filling a 30+ question “written interview” for an entry-level IT job?
