I just spent 2.5 hours getting a pre-employment physical

The position is designated “safety sensitive” so they are able to do a multitude of tests. I can guarantee you that none of the job duties are safety sensitive. It’s not transportation or anything like that and it’s not supervisory. I had to take an alcohol test, urine drug test, they also took my blood, a vision test, a hearing test, an ekg, and answered every personal health question imaginable. It’s a government job with low pay and good benefits. They asked me about a gap on my resume 9.5 years ago. What the hell is wrong with today. I even have to go back in 2 days for them to check the skin TB test.

If your boss won’t let you take a sick day, vomit on their desk or bring some of your feces to work and display it as “proof”

Since they refuse to believe people get sick, vomit on them/their desk/their computer and show them your feces. Insist on staying. Vomit in plain view of customers and let them know your boss's name and that the boss insisted you stay working while vomiting! Call the health dept and show them the proof that your boss insisted you come into work with food poisoning! Put iton social media and call the local news!

Help – my boss put me on PIP for no reason and withholds my paycheck!

Hi all! /throwaway account, for obvious reasons (I am afraid of legal consequences) So, I have been a long-time lurker here and I wholeheartedly enjoy this community. I gotta admit one thing – at first, I detested this subreddit and I thought to myself: “Well, maybe it's just a minority of employers. It can't be that bad almost everywhere, right? Right?!” And guess what… In the past few months, I have hit a wall. Really hard, straight up against my face. Only then I have seen what y'all going through. But let me introduce you to this whole thing and explain the preceding events, just so you understand the context. In October last year, I decided to say farewell to my old company. Although I sort of hated their shady practices when it came to customers and clients, I somehow sucked it up, because my colleagues were top-notch. I really…

Is this a real job offer or not?

I got this job offer on Linkedin and decided to apply. I got emailed by the recruiter and after going back and forth discussing the job, I decided to do some more research on the company “Kings Construction”. Searching on google, I got no results. The job offer is remote and their offices are in New York so I can't verify whether they are legit or not. https://kingsconstruction.org/ This is their website. If anyone can help me out, I'd appreciate it!

Legit work from home jobs

There is a user on this sub who has commented on other users posts a few times with a list of legit work-from-home companies. I can’t find that list when I search here or google it. I was hoping someone could either link to one of these posts or if that very kind Redditor could comment on this post with that list? TIA

Rejected a follow-up interview with a massive hydraulic actuator company for fun

I’m a second year fluid power student at a technical college, and a very large actuator company gets first pick of the students due to the fact that they fund a large part of our program. They bring an HR rep in to try and get some of the top students to apply for an interview and a full tour of their facility, AND free pizza. They are DESPERATE for new hires, and the HR rep made that VERY obvious. When I asked what big name contracts they had and she answered, I knew then and there I wouldn’t work for them (Department of Defense and their various subcontractors, Blue Origin, etc). I took the interview for the free pizza (which they spared NO expense on), and I even got a neat coffee tumbler and a laser stylus pen in a gift bag. When they called me for an additional…
