Job posting (crazy description)
below is a job posting I found. WTF! It's an engineering job and they talking about theory of mind, emotinal self-regulation and inhibiton. Are there some red flags here? https://preview.redd.it/0wh0sw0exvm91.png?width=1121&format=png&auto=webp&s=126cd0a684875025f49299aeb53bcc8c487a4dd1
Choose layoff or half the hours?
Our office is having financial issues (pay 10 days late last month) and little to no work going on. 2 of 7 employees resigned this week. I've been ISO other work too but nothing yet. Offered by management today to cut my hours to 20/week or layoff to draw unemployment. 20h per week grosses $500. Unemployment grosses $326 max. What should I do???
I'd prefer if she'd just told me straight up at the interview that she wasn't hiring me. honestly I'd prefer if she'd just told me to fuck off lol who does that shit. If you're not going to hire someone at least have the guts to tell them instead of ignoring it and posting on Instagram
Partner has COVID and I’m at a Loss
I’m really frustrated and upset and I either just want to vent or I want advice. My partner has tested positive for COVID and he has symptoms. I’ve been sharing a room/bathroom with him for 2 days now and taking care of him. I told my manager and I was simply told that I need to keep showing up for work and wear a mask. I was confused- he sent me the email he received saying if an employee was exposed they need to mask up. But I’m not just exposed once- I’m literally around him 24/7. I haven’t tested positive yet but I know it’s coming. I have been confined to a room with him for 2 days! I was told I needed to find a cover for my shift tomorrow or I need to come in with a mask. But I can’t imagine coming in after literally being…
Religious accommodations
I just saw a post in a Christian sub about an employee who got denied a schedule change to attend Sunday services. Their boss attends the same church. The OP didn't seem to realize that this is illegal religious discrimination. Which reminded me of the last time I preached on the need for rest and life outside of work, and how its ok, good even, to to request religious accommodations to attend worship. And my congregation just… scoffed. People are so brainwashed into the cult of work that they think its ok to be retaliated against in the work place for asking for a religious accommodation, or that its some insane imposition on their bosses that is unthinkable. Literally putting the comfort and ease of their bosses before worshipping their literal God, let alone their own well being. Just mind boggling.
Anyone see this McDonald’s commercial?
https://youtu.be/IdmH7zRIVls It supposedly highlights employees who have gone above and beyond, obviously setting up customer expectations that all McDonald's employees will be willing to, like, change their tire or something for basically minimum wage. Anyway, there's another version of the missing tooth story where the employee not just gives a cup to hold the missing tooth, but a dollar! Out of their own pocket! And you know the person who helped clear snow (why couldn't the driver do it?) got in trouble for leaving her post.
I had a great job interview today. Im confident that i got it. They asked what i wanted to be paid and i got nervous. I told them lower than i would have liked. They were cool with that amount. Immediately. I feel like i knew what i deserved and so did they so they accepted quickly. Before i actually get the job (im 90% certain its mine so im asking in the case that its 100% lol) theyve asked me to meet with the owner to finalize things. Is there a way i can bring up the possibility of raising it? Have i screwed up by proposing a low amount so soon? Would it be super awkward and weird to be like “jk on what i said. I want more.” Do you think it will change their opinion of whether i should have the job? Im kind of awkward…
