Automated video interviews are some bullshit

I applied for a role and got sent a link to do an automated video interview. Fuck that noise. So I have to prepare for an interview, dress up, make sure my room is nice (because better believe there's no background filters) to be one of I don't know how many people interviewing. For all I know they sent the link to everybody that applied. So they don't have to invest any time into me, not even the courtesy of a phone call, but I have all the work of a normal interview but somehow more awkward. No options for me to ask questions, completely one sided. Fuck off.

Are all employers cutting hours right now, or is it just retail?

I work in a retail DC. For the past 3 months, it has been unusually slow. Days have been at most 8 hours… rather than 10. I’m lucky if I get 30 hours a week. It’s not just me personally that’s experiencing it. The whole company seems to have something going on. I need to quit and find something else, but this has been a good job. It’s one of the highest paying near me as well. Don’t know what to do but this place isn’t paying my bills.

Do companies actively monitor, review and screenshot your work throughout the day?

I am the managing partner and general counsel/chief compliance officer’s assistant at a private equity firm – I’ve been there for eight months. Lately, I’ve been working the job of two and a half people. Someone quit about 6 weeks ago, and I’ve been doing my job plus their job. Since I also plan all the office functions, I’ve been doing more than my assigned duties since I started.I am now working ten to twelve hours during the week and about four hours per weekend and still feel behind. I’ve asked for days off over the past eight months and have been denied because “we’re too busy.” I’m burned out and exhausted. I decided to start interviewing, since it doesn’t look like we’re hiring anytime soon. They’re not interviewing and in the meantime, I’m on the verge of tears almost everyday. They have a high turnover rate – two people…

Would I owe backpay for my employers mistake?

So little backstory, i got demoted in Nov due to issues which fine, i'll own up to calling out too much lol but with that my pay decreased from $22 to $20/h. It was supposed to start end of Dec and it did, for one pay period only and then Jan 1st we got a new pay system and thats when i think it got messed up. I'm back to and have been at 22 now since jan 1st and am worried thar i will owe the money even though it was their mistake? Thanks!!

My daughter was in the emergency room but work was more important

Side Note: This isn't my story but the story of my dad which happened around a decade ago I (M57) have been working at company that produces Offices Chair. Ive been doing basically everything there: pack and unpack orders, putting the chairs together and even doing the delivery This includes getting calls after my shift “How does this machine work, where is this, I couldn't find..” Im not the one running this business but somehow still memories everythings place even if its as small as dust. During work my wife called me and told me that our daughter has been puking neon green vomit.I told my boss and the secretary about it and left asap.Since that day I was supposed to do the delivery I also assure them id still get the job done today after my daughter is fine. We went to the ER and we've been there for…

I finally quit my extremely toxic job.

I was under appreciated and over worked for a long time. Now I’m finally done. I’m so relieved. That is all.

Wealth Distribution Plan

Shout out to everyone in here who hates going to work everyday and to everyone who doesn't have enough money. Can we all figure out a way to distribute wealth among ourselves? Like we each say how much we need and then we give cash app to help and we also give help. So everyone who gets help gives 15 percent to help someone else? Can we just brainstorm some sort of social experiment where we can all live better? If you are still reading, I think there is a lot of money to be made trading Crypto if we work together.
