Out of touch company who allows itself to screw their employees because that’s what all other companies do, and that’s just the way it is. Eat shit and die.

I can’t land a job post college that’ll pay me right

I’m losing it. I’ll do my best to not make this a rant, but in the 8 months since I’ve graduated I have applied to hundreds of jobs. For context, I have a bachelor’s in writing and have been applying to any job that corresponds with my degree. Most expect 5+ years of experience, most don’t bother to get back to me, and of the two jobs I landed I was let go from one due to budget cuts, and the other is refusing to negotiate fair wages after a messy hiring process. I signed a lease two weeks before I was let go from the first job, and with a minimal amount of savings and student loans starting in May, I’m beginning to worry that I won’t have a place to live in the next year. Everyone close to me who I speak to about this tells me not…

There is hope

I recently got offered a job with a guy I worked with in a previous job. I knew him and our personal relationship factored into this but I wanted to tell my story to give some people some hope in this dystopia nightmare. I received a message from the hiring manager saying that he saw my resume on ziprecruiter. He wanted to interview but he didn't want to inconvenience me so he insisted he buy me dinner at a Panera near my house and we could talk there. (Definitely out of the norm but still nice.) He straight up told me what he was offering salary wise and it was right around my asking price. No bs, no back and forth, no having to convince myself to take a lower offer because it is closer to where I live. Here is the best part. They are giving the person I…

Lmfao the recruiter doubled down

Company (Lensa) wants candidates to “put company first, other employees second, themselves third” and sticks with that story.

Being in management really changes people.

My friend was recently promoted to management. He's a good person but man he's changed. I recently injured myself and had to tell them to take me off the schedule for a day so I could go figure out what happened. I message him from the doctor's office with my diagnosis. The very first reply is “do I need to take you off the schedule for tomorrow.” No expressing any concern for my injury which was bad enough that I left work early the day before. I'm the kind of person who NEVER calls out unless I'm in a hospital. It hurt my feelings a little but he's been much less personable and less empathetic as a boss. It doesn't help that the owner of the company is a sociopath in my opinion. She talks in a high pitched happy voice, as if she's praising a dog. But stand up…

People from other parts of the world: what made you come to this sub, what made you stay? Share your story

I feel like this sub needs more international community discussions, as it is one of the most informative, active and decent places to talk about anti-work struggles for the unification of the common workers. I think it would benefit the general narrative if you, people from countries other than US, could share your perspectives, your grievances and your problems that led you to becoming curious in the antiwork movement. Guess I'll start? I'm a young (gen Z) office worker from CIS country where the usual monthly pay is around 400 to 500 USD and GDP per capita hovers just below 10k$. The minimum wage in my country is essentially 150$ a month, and people actually live on it here. I got lucky as I was born to a well-off family and could get a decent education, even had opportunity to travel abroad extensively, and now have nice career prospects. For…

“need a job? Do this assessment test first!”

This plasma donation center says they need more staff but I failed one question and I was kicked for 6 months to apply. I tried again and they won't hire me. Gee maybe get rid of the stupid test? I think just a thought
