Quit your job on a Monday. Don’t give them the weekend to get a jump on searching for a replacement, force them to start that process as the week begins.

This probably better applies for those working a set M-F schedule.

“Kids today, such snowflakes”

“Back in MY day, if the boss said be at the office 50hrs, I'd work 80hrs! If the boss told me to cut my hair and dress a certain way, I told him 'YES SIR MY LIFE IS TO SERVE YOU PLEASE.' I bowed my head and licked the floor my boss walked on because I was TOUGH. Kids today, so soft.” /s

My entire team was told to reapply for their job which had new roles in it (they were merging 2 roles into 1) HR was pushing this as either you apply or there might not be a role for you, but i had other ideas.

This is going back around 10 years. I was working in a corporate office in a management role, my entire team was advised there will be some merging of roles and that if we wanted to keep our jobs we must reapply as our current role wasn't going to be there. They advised that interviews for the new role was going to be in two weeks time and even though we are certain to get the new role with a 5k increase we should still prepare for it. Everyone in the team minus myself had applied for the new role, they all got the new job and I kept turning up sitting at my desk and when approached to do a certain task i wasn't originally signed up to do i would respond with, that isn't my role and if you want me to take on this new role I'm…

My parents told me they couldn’t afford their house if it was purchased today.

I was talking to my mother about how crappy the housing market is, and asked about when they bought their house over 20 years ago. She said my dad was making a little over 15 an hour, and managed to buy the three bedroom, two bathroom ranch style house I grew up in. Big backyard and everything. It was purchased for 112k. It’s currently valued (without an appraisal) at almost half a million. She said they couldn’t afford the house they OWN today. My mom was a SAHM too. They lived off my dads paycheck. I currently make over double what my dad made back then, and I can’t afford a damn house. My dad makes damn near double what I make, and they couldn’t afford the house they OWN if they didn’t already own it. I’m tired man. Millennials are bitter, because we were promised so much, and it…

So WFH is too extreme for these employers. We need incentives if we are forced to go back!

Do I quit my job?

I currently work at devils taint strip club. If u don't know that the is is a adult club for those who identify as they them. I have recently been harassed at work and I don't make enough money to pay for my autism meds. Should I go into work and kill myself on stage?? Or should I quit and give some over the pants stuff at the local 7/11?? I don't know if the Pfizer vaccine has changed my state of mind? What u think. Why why why why why

What if jobs were like an app, like wonolo and they had to compete to make better working conditions and wages to get people to apply?

Imagine an app where you can not only apply to a job and not worry about getting rejected during the onboarding, but that there barely is an onboarding. You can see jobs available in your area and further and see the duration of how long you'll work, what you'll do. Not only that but you get paid immediately upon clocking out, and if you dont want to work there again no problem, pick a different job available tomorrow or the next day or whenever you want. I reference wonolo because thats the only one of its kind like that, that ive worked for. Jobs could be anything from helping a store after hours one day, to stage crew for 2 days to a 4 month gig, you see all the sign on details from pay to location and time before accepting and all you have to do is hit accept…
