I just walked out of an interview.
I moved states a few months ago and started looking for a job shortly thereafter. Usual bullshit, over qualified, position closes then opens a week later then closes again, blah blah blah. I got an interview for a solar company, that advertises $30/hr PLUS commission. Called an appointment setter. Fuck it, I’ll apply. Immediately I get a request for an interview. I show up and the guy meeting me wants to clarify before I even walk in, that it’s 30/hr OR commission and it’s a door to door position. Big red flag number 1. I go into the room and there are a dozen other people. Big red flag number 2. He does an intro and goes into how pay gets broken out, all of it obviously designed to close the deal, specifically pointing out that we get ONE week of a grace period in case we don’t hit our…
My manager seriously told me during my performance review that he wanted to have rated me higher because he feels that I deserve it but couldn't because the company had changed the way that ratings are done.

Never give them the satisfaction. Thank you to this Reddit.
The terms 'housing shortage' and 'housing crisis' get thrown around a lot when discussing the state of life in the US. People are constantly asking how we can solve these problems, and those solutions never seem to work. I say the reason for this is that they're trying to solve a problem that doesn't actually exist. There are 33 empty properties for each homeless person in the US. There are objectively enough living quarters already existing for everyone in the US. This means there cannot be a housing shortage. The barriers that exist between people and the multitudes of currently existing homes don't come from anything having to do with the houses themselves. Every single barrier comes from a failure of policy. Our government's current stance on housing is that people having the freedom to accumulate excess is more important than guaranteeing everyone the right to the bare minimum (in…

He should get raised
Immediate boss proceeded to tell me that’s not in my job description and that he didn’t want to overwork me on tasks that shouldn’t be placed on me. Then stated he’ll reach out to HR head about it. Despite the fact that I’ve told them multiple times over several months the exact tasks are not in my job description that they make me do that burn me out. Despite the fact that I already do the thing I’m being trained on but in a different, more time consuming system. Despite the fact that it’s so I can transition into a better position next quarter. All in the name of “sorry, my protective side for my team is coming out and I want to make sure you’re taken care of”.
