Is it normal for references to be required?

I just got a factory job and the staffing company that hired me insists I send them 3 references with phone numbers or they “can't complete my onboarding” I have never fucking heard of this before and I left my last 3 jobs on a bad note so I have no positive references with relevant work experience. Why the hell would I give them anything in that case. Is it even legal for them to deny me employment based on lack of references? I'm honestly pissed. It's not mattered for a single fucking job I've had before why does it matter now? I just want to tell them to leave me the fuck alone and let me start work

Yesterday, I was reading a couple of negative reviews on one of the places I used to work at. I don’t want to give out the exact name of the place because it is popular. Most of the negative reviews where only one person being in the store and had to close it for 30 minutes (don’t know the reason why). Other reviews explained how the workers don’t wash their hands after using the register or don’t wear gloves while handling food. I quit when COVID started and found a much better job that payed me 10x better. I heard most of the original workers left. 2 guys stayed longer until they graduated college. When COVID hit, everyone just left and the store had to be closed for a couple of days. People were pissed that we were out of certain items and had to remind them kindly of social…

I worked as an unpaid “intern” for over 10 months & now the company is threatening to contact my previous & current employer & schools unless I agree to a meeting. In this meeting they want me to screen share my personal laptop and delete all information (to which I already deleted.)

Their HR team is telling me if I don’t do this meeting, I’m in violation of my NDA. (An NDA that says nothing about a required meeting post the conclusion of of our relationship.)

They’ll work you to death and not even notice when it happens.

Department store takes four days to find worker’s body in bathroom: ‘You wonder why customers didn’t see it’ | The Independent An investigation is underway in South Carolina after the body of a 63-year-old department store employee was discovered four days after she went missing in a bathroom, officials have said. Bessie Durham, who worked as a janitor at the Belk department store in Columbia, died after entering a bathroom at the store inside the city’s Columbiana Center on Thursday, the Associated Press reported.
