My previous employer — who I left on bad terms and gave no notice — just spammed me a text message offering me more money than they pay current workers to come back.

I sent my coworkers screenshots. They have been told there is no money for raises. Enjoy, fuckers.

Had a great interview. Told me they’d call with “training and next steps.” Ghosted me.

So, yeah. Let’s call the business: Generic Cafe. Let’s call the owner: Carol. I interview for a position that I am 100% qualified for. The interview goes great, Carol is smiling and laughing, she takes down my availability. She asks how I’d create more business and more income streams for the cafe. She writes down my ideas and says, “wow, those are things I hadn’t thought of before.” We talk about the job, the role, the place etc. Carol states she wants to push “certain people” out of the market with pricing and how she’s not allowing people to take tables for only a $4 cappuccino. This rubs me the wrong way but I continue to listen. She talks about how important honesty from her staff is to her. She says how wonderful it was to meet me and, “I’ll call you on Tuesday to discuss training and the next…

Today I curved CVS

This morning I had a “pre screening interview” for a customer service rep position with CVS. Specs are $17.50/hr, Mon-Fri, 8am-6pm. I asked, “Are the hours posted correct?” .. she replied “Yes.” I responded, “Ah, so 9-10 hour shifts? I’m looking for a more optimal work/life balance. For example – 8 hour shifts with 30 minutes for lunch. I’ll have to pass. Thank you.” How insane are these people?!

Somebody, please help these poor companies that cannot afford to have people who work for free

I am overqualified even for entry-level positions. https://preview.redd.it/nr03l9e6gcma1.png?width=333&format=png&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=0260078740fbb9d3145a75e96ff61b788a5abe87

outside hire for management

I was recently hired for a supervisor position at a company. I'll be an outside hire. I'm worried/stressing about how current staff will view me. Do I need to worry about them under putting my authority? Anyone else experienced this from the employee or going in as new sup?

Booked a flight for an interview in LA (500 miles away from my town). 5 days before interview date, employer calls to cancel interview. So glad I tried to expand my horizons.

And I can’t change/cancel my flight. I tried to suggest a zoom interview but the manager insisted on an in person interview. Happy Tuesday folks.

My Job is Literally Killing Me and There’s Nothing I can do about It

Like the title says, my job is literally killing me and there’s nothing I can do about it. I work almost 7 days a week, living onsite with a slight discount of what apartments are going for in my area (1800/month for 1 bedroom). When I took this job in November I was given the job offer letter which did not state the commission offered. I asked and was answered by email what the commission was but told it was not listed on the offer letter. I took the job and scraped up all my money for the move. Two months into work and I’m told the commission structure is now changing to less than half of what was originally offered. I’m now so far away from my family and my car broke down during the move. I figured with the money I was supposed to be making, I could…
