Feb. 23: I don’t insult people who are still dominated by capitalist ideology… instead, I struggle for them to overcome it. (Today is my dad’s bday. Rest In Power, you Union Badass!)

I’m sick of “recruiters” contacting me on LinkedIni interested in my background and when I ask for pay information they want me to complete an application! Like WTF?

Basically the titles says it all, like madam, I don’t want to be rude but please if you’re the one contacting me don’t make me work to get the most important detail of your “great opportunity”. I’m sick of it, is like if they want to get applications and have no other tactics. Grrrrrr!

How to deal with a less than desired paycheck?

So, few months ago I accepted an offer to move to Germany to start working in a big company. At the time, they offered me a contract and, since I don’t have any experience and knowledge about the country and the job market, I accepted the offer so they also be supporting me with visa and moving things. But right now, I started realizing that I’m kind of underpaid since I got to know some of my colleagues has less experience and are also less educated in the field I work but even than earns more or almost the same. So far, I’m trapped in this situation and trying to figure out how I can get out of this. I don’t want to change jobs right now but I also feel very disgusted to have accepted this offer having a strange feeling that the company took advantage on me for…

Inquiry about good places to work post-grad that actually treat their employees like people?

I'm a current college senior that has been really anxious about post-grad jobs, considering how terrible the corporate world sounds and how desperately I want something that is flexible and remote. I know most of us on here do have to have jobs to get by, and was wondering if anyone had recommendations for places they've had good experiences with?

Why are people Angry at Six figure earners here?

Like I understand where these people are coming from, or I can see their point. But if I was smart enough to get a collage or even a uni graduation, I'd be asking for 100,000 to 250,000 yearly. We should be encouraging people to be more educated and also fix the god damn education system.

I want options for homeless people so I just thought I should brainstorm a few ideas to make being homeless slightly more bearable. Please let me know what I need to switch up to have a more successful ”business strategy”.

I've been homeless before and it fucking sucks, especially when it's -20 Celsius outside and you need to take a bus just to stay barely warm. it's also impossible to get a job while you're homeless as you won't have an address and no one wants to hire someone that doesn't have a housing situation on lock. This is brainstorming on how to promote lending vacant homes to homeless people to make for a more productive overall society and people overall happier. This is a major issue in North America especially and if it was solved then it would be an overall win/win for all involved as corps and small businesses get cheaper labour while homeless people get to live in a warm house. There are 17 million empty homes while there are 0.5 million homeless people (2018 figures). How do we make it affordable to lend housing units to…

Landlords suck.

My MIL moved into an apartment last August with a 12 month lease for $1200 a month (this is insane for a one bedroom in my area but rents have been soaring). Yesterday, she received this letter on her door- addressed to her unit, with a former tenant’s name on it. The figures here are incorrect, and show that the previous tenant was paying only $995 when they moved out last summer. Landlord then turned around and rented it for $1200 without even cleaning the unit, and now they apparently can’t keep track of who lives there and what the expected rent is. Unbelievable. Now she has to take time out of her lunch break to call and speak to these idiots to make sure they don’t expect her to pay an $80 increase. She won’t pay more and has the lease to back her up, but better to nip…
