Contacted a Staffing Agency to Inquire About Job. Was Unknowingly Subjected to some Bizarre Test Via Email. Is this Normal?

Sorry mods– I posted this earlier then deleted: This is my first time posting to this sub but I've been a long-time watcher and supporter. I want to thank everyone who has ever shared a story or contributed to this sub. I know it's really opened my eyes to many of the messed up work environments people are subjected to against their will, and how desperately things need to change in significant parts of the world. ​ Please bear with me, as I am not the best at story-telling and I apologize for its length. I have also decided to attach my entire correspondence (please see attached images) with this staffing agency (as well as naming them), as I feel it's important that people are aware that shit like this is happening (the yanking of emotions by employers), how quite sociopathic/psychopathic it is, how much it degrades and ruins one's…

That time I spoke up about a concern with company stability

The other recent thread here reminded me of this story. In January 2020 (oh you bet the date is important) I was working at a marketing agency that was a child company of a giant Fortune 500 not named “ComniOm Troop”. I had only been there about 4 months at the time but I had adjusted well, my team and manager were great and I had a stellar 3 month performance review. We had a handful of clients but the main one (like 70%) was a huge telecom monopoly fair and ethical company who’s name is 3 letters. We had a department meeting where we set goals for the year and discussed our current projects and statuses and stuff. At the end of the meeting I asked, “so worst case scenario here but I see that 70% of our business is . If something happens and cuts our contract aren’t…

I’m on the Verge Of Quitting McDonalds

Sorry for formatting I'm in mobile. So I work at McDonald's. It took over 2 weeks for them to start my orientation, in which they ALSO didn't even tell me I was supposed to work that day. Then my trainer did what most modern parents do with their children, and sat me in the back room with an iPad with the McDonald's training videos playing. This wasn't supposed to happen. I was supposed to work the floor apparently, and learn other things. So I got speed trained on how to make fries and icecream, and how to use the POS, which while it stands for 'Point Operation System' it should still be Piece of Shit since the organization is god awful. Today, my 4th day (3rd day doing my actual job) and I had an 8 hour shift with one lunch break and two 10 minute breaks (it's supposed to…
