Who else feels this way about job searching? :(

Honestly I’m looking for jobs as of right now I’m trying to get one within a week or 2 from now. I just moved with my sister and her partner and I wanna be able to move out in Atleast half a year or so. Im searching for jobs on indeed and google a bit but none of these jobs interest me. Like i want to work but I don’t want to be stuck at a job that has a crappy management and over works their workers. I hear a lot about places like Amazon, fedex, and all these other companies that are controversial. Even food industry jobs or retail like I just want to choose a job I can do that comes with good pay and benefits. At this point I’m just gonna apply to more restaurants because I’ve worked there previously and I’ll also apply to maybe some…

I Hate Beating Around The Bush

Just got off the phone with a recruiter who, on the plus side, was very honest. Despite saying I would be advanced, the recruiter stated that I may not be suited for this position due to lack of long-term employment at one company. As a recent college graduate I have limited work experience pertaining to my career field. In addition, the last job I held was fucking horrible. I left because I was underpaid, overworked, and oh, the company violated a number of labor laws. Did I state that to the recruiter? Hell no. But you know what, it's ridiculous having to tip toe/sugar coat/beat around the bush with recruiters or employers. Maybe if they knew the true reason why I don't have commitment to one employer for 2+ years is because they are a shit employer. Maybe they the recruiter wouldn't simply judge what's on my resume and actually…

Unionizing?

I'm not sure if this is the right subreddit for this, but does anyone have any resources about how to unionize your workforce and what the first step would be? Would I need to start with a petition or something? I have no idea how to do this.

I completed a mandatory training but my employer refuses to pay me. Is it wage theft?

I work remotely in Ohio but my employer is in Arkansas. The training was only one hour long so it's not a lot of money but this was many people in my training group and everyone experienced this. Plus however many more before us. They're calling the training a “getting up to compliance for onboarding paperwork.” (internal processes training, not an external certification) It was done the week before the first day of 'official work' so in my timesheets I can't ask for it because my timesheet capabilities don't even have that week. Do I just cave because it's “only” an hour? Do I report it to AR Department of Labor? Do I report it to OH Department of Labor? Can employers have mandatory training about stuff like company history and security phishing (and required to pass a test) without paying you?
