Fuck “Entry Level” Jobs

I just spent the better part of a month and a half interviewing for an “entry level” job, which then sent a generic “go fuck yourself” email. I sent a gift, interviewed with four different people. All for a job that's base salary is $50,000. Call me crazy, but an entry level job should not require four fucking interviews to make barely enough to survive in the North East.

Taking advantage of work from home?

So what are some good ideas to take advantage of working from home? Currently I am looking for remote work and I may have gotten a new job lined up for me if I get it. I know it would just be easy to find a minimal effort remote job where you get to watch Netflix and gaming most of the work day. But I have thought about doing some online college courses or learn other online classes that I can use to help me get a better remote job during company time. What are some other ideas to take advantage of remote working?

So I got sent to work an hour early because everyone did the job quick, and that got me thinking: I’m not gonna get paid that hour I didn’t work, and that needs to change.

If you get sent sent home early because all of your work is literally done, and not because you got in trouble, then you should GET PAID FOR THAT ENTIRE DAY. Why should WE the workers suffer financial consequences if we did the job right and quickly? It's not the worker's fault the company was disorganized that day, didn't anticipate a fast job that day, and didn't have enough for US to work. why are we the ones suffering because we missed an hour of work as a result of doing the job FAST, or because of their little blunder? That needs to become a law.

Could we give a shout out to the therapists in this sub?

Just wanted to say thank you for listening to us and guiding us through traumatic experiences (aka, life) despite dealing with your own grief. You are heroes.

I got a job 4 months ago with a 50% pay increase. I’m accepting another job next week with another 20% pay raise

Boomer acquaintances tell me it is a bad look to jump jobs so soon but why wouldn't I move to another job that pays me more? The pay is the only reason I work. I hate that we are expected to stay at a job for 1+ years before it is “acceptable” to move on. Don't be loyal to your employers, you will only get taken advantage of.

Secondhand exhaustion

I work in a government services job and got a caller today who wanted our department to reprimand her private non-government utility company because two repairmen parked slightly off-center in her driveway. She proudly told me about how she shouted at them and made it clear that since the workers weren’t white she thought they were inept idiots. Cue surprised pikachu face when they left and didn’t fix her utility issue and she wanted me to call her (again, non-government service, so legit not something my department could even do something about) utility and yell at them some more. Like. Fuck that, ma’am. I don’t understand this instinct for people to demean someone in a service job and then seek backup from someone else who serves the public. And I only ever get calls! I don’t have to deal with people’s shit in person, but it’s just so much to…

Meeting today

We had a meeting today on getting back to the office. I tell the higher up. That going to the office would give a 30% less of my income in gas that I was currently saving. He told to move closer to work or buy a hybrid car. Decided to edit to add more contest. I love in Puerto Rico where the median is the poverty level in America. Most jobs here pay minimum federal wage. We speak both spa is and English and have the highest education level that most states.
