What is the “record”?

I keep hearing from peers about how they don't just want to quit their jobs they hate, because doing it without a 2 week notice will go on their “record”. What record? Their resumé that they can add only whatever they want on it? I'm pretty sure a previous employer might be able to say they quit without notice when referred (Maine) but a “record”? Is this elementary? Any info on that?

Large vs mid vs small

Hi there, Long time fan, first time poster. It seems a lot of the scuzzy things I read are from small employers that put in policies all willy-nilly.might be wrong; but that's how I take them. Just wondering what the group thinks – is it better to work for a small company, mid size (regional or national) company, or a large (multinational) company? I've only worked for large companies in my career, so i have limited experience. We absolutely get dicked over; but it's at least a straightforward dicking.

One week notice

I’m burned out! My manager is leaving and they are giving me her office but no the title. They said I’m not ready yet! I need to quit. I love my field of work and don’t want to burn bridges, but I’m sick to my stomach. I don’t have a plan B yet. I’m interviewing but no offers yet. Is a one week notice unprofessional? Do I tell them I’m leaving without another job? Thanks in advanced

I had a interview for today at 2pm I was there at 2pm waited 5-10 minutes no one showed up.

Left a email no one texted me or let me know what happend what tha fuck is this?!!?!?!?! I'm so pissed with this poor ass treatment. I was excited/anxious and preparing this talk cause It was something new and challenging but that's gone. I live in the Netherlands btw. Update – 20 minutes passed, nothing. – Another update we planned it for 2pm and in the email it says 2-2:45 pm and also 1:1:45 pm. Maybe she thought it was 1pm but evenso we communicated 2pm and yeah fuck this Im confused. – Update It seems like it's a common thing I checked the reviews they seem very childish and unprofessional but I didn't think It would be this bad… They are absolutely disgusting. – Update it seems I need to click on mail to accept? LMAO What the hell is this excuse, she didn't mention it. I feel like…

Company says if they gave us holidays off, they’d have to do it for everyone in the company

Okay, just fucking do that then?? I ask what it would take to change our company’s holiday schedule, and I get crickets. I get paid well, I actually like my job, but NO ONE likes being forced to not work and not get paid for those days as well. That’s not a “holiday”, it’s a temporary lay-off.

Applied to 17 jobs, heard nothing.

I have no idea what this worker shortage is going on about, I have written cover letters for almost all of these jobs and I've still heard nothing. I know I'm qualified for the jobs. I know I'm available. I should be, at the very least, hearing if I get an interview or not. This is beyond frustrating. Worker shortage my ass, maybe that theory on companies just posting ads to keep getting that PPE loan money or whatever is real. Sorry, I just needed to get this off my chest.
