So, i work for a thrift shop, we only make about 11 dollars an hour, and live in a city where the living wage before hitting poverty is like, 29 an hour. The store i work at has a makeshift food pantry in our breakroom due to us not making much money to easily afford both rent and food. And now our district manager wants us to get rid of it but they also refuse to raise our wage by even two dollars an hour to make it a little easier. Anyone else have similar in their workplaces?
I had a great interview today. It was for a large company that has desk job available. I'm more than capable to perform the job and was given an offer. The hourly pay was surprisingly well below what I am being paid while working in retail. It wouldn't be worth it for me to leave my current job for this position even though it 'looks better' socially. I have a college degree and very proficient in computers. Why aren't companies paying people what they are worth? I went to school to be educated with a valuable set of skills but no one wants to pay for them. I like my current job but it was supposed to be short term while I find a career that leads somewhere.
Management pay cannot be linked to savings on payroll. This one thing would fix almost every problem I have ever had at work.

Just as the title says, I had a terrible interview experience with a company and I just needed to rant about it. About two months ago, while finishing up my undergrad, I started applying for jobs so that I could have one lined up by the time I graduate. I applied online for a job, after exceeding all of the suggested qualifications, and the company reached out and requested a phone screening. It is for a research scientist position that I am incredibly excited about. Great! I set it up and the day of the phone screening I sat down next to my phone and waited. No call. “No worries, sometimes life gets in the way” I thought so I called the recruiter that was meant to call me and left a message saying I was still interested in the position and would love to schedule another time for the…
hi guys, you helped me to convince myself that it is indeed better to study in downtime periods in wfh. But my question is, better to be “honest” and leave it absent and the screensaver appears on the screen or for example leave a weight on the ctrl key to stay online? My thinking is not to use this while I'm away from my desk, but when I'm around alert but doing something else, I believe the away status in teams is not true because I'm still available to respond.My concern is having a system that monitors this, but I don't want to move the mouse. Thanks.
It’s got to the point he’s blaming me for the kids he is hiring not turning up and is expecting me to not just handle the rota but fix the issues when they don’t start showing up
Why am in not surprised another old person wants people to return from WFH without giving proper incentives. 🤡
