Whereas a Boomer is someone who sits under the shade long overstaying their welcome and denying anyone else a chance, then as they're finishing with it just burn it to the fucking ground so future generations can't enjoy it… Basically what i'm saying is the average Boomer is anti-society. That's all I wanted to vent really.
I work for a gym with multiple locations. There have been sweeping layoffs/firing. When I got an email stating that the COO and membership manager were let go I knew that the lower level staff was next. I knew that I wanted to volunteer for layoffs, on the conditions I collect unemployment, and have a possibility to return to the company in the busy season (winter). I live in my vehicle and have a low cost of living so me loosing the job isn't as bad as someone paying rent. I had a conversation with the HR manager and said I'd volunteer. He was tight lipped and said he'd keep it in mind. Fast forward a week or so, another email detailing that 25% of the staff was being “reduced” and we'd find out if we were part of that by a specific date. Like I said I knew it…
Luckily, I received a different job offer a few days prior….but this feedback has really bothered me. Two out of 3 points of feedback relate to researching the company. Which is just madness really. Isn't that what they should be teaching people once they're hired? Why are we having to prove our understanding of their mission prior to interview? Granted, point 3 is useful, if you want to get better at those sorts of questions.
i’m an amazon delivery driver and yesterday there was a box of almond flour that spilled in the back of my van and got on my hands and shirt, i had to leave “early” (already overtime) so i could go home and shower to make sure i didn’t go into anaphylaxis. my face got puffy and whole body itchy so i texted out this morning. my anxiety about my allergies has been really bad lately and i’ve called out a few times in the last couple weeks but this wasn’t the anxiety, it was the actually allergy and my safety at risk. last time i had a reaction like this it got worse the second day so i needed to make sure i was home today in case it got worse again.

Did I interview at a marketing MLM?
Context: I am job hunting in the non profit world. I received and invitation to interview for a marketing company that works with non profits to fundraise (food banks, breast cancer research, etc.). The first interview was via Zoom, and it was a group interview. I have never had a group interview and it was weird. It was with the CEO and she kept saying how “lucky” we were to be chosen to interview out of 400+ applicants. Weird flex but ok? I got a call less than 5 hours later letting me know I had been selected for the 2nd round in-person interview for 8am Monday. The person who called me (HR) *also* said “Congratulations for the chance to move on to the next round! We receive hundreds of applicants.” Now this is a red flag that feels MLM-y. the 2nd interview went like this: Walk into an…
