The 27th Amendment keeps Congress from being paid. No matter what, Congress will be paid, even if there is a government shutdown. With that in mind, maybe we should have legislation forced through that would fine members of Congress for spending more than the amount of money they would get from Food Stamps be the day with it doubling each day that they break the law. They are not allowed to use credit cards nor allowed to have others pay anything towards their bills. Something like “You are given $5.25 a day for food, housing, etc while government is shut down. If you spend more than that per day, the first day fine is $1000. The second time you spend more than that, the fine is doubled to $2000. A third time would be $4000, and on and on.” We all know that this type of law would not pass…
Her child was in a shopping cart watching videos on a phone while she stocked shelves. This is the American dream come to life. It's horrendous and despicable what corporations make people, human fucking beings, resort to in order to live in this society. Her baby is sitting there for presumably hours in front of a screen while strangers walk by and her mother works. Sorry if this isn't the correct sub for this, it just makes my blood boil. That poor child. I just know her mother must feel like shit for having to do that. I hate this country and the people who run things.
And I don’t think I’m being over dramatic. What’s the fucking point in “life” if you’re just going to spend 8 hours a day 5 days a week working your ass off and still not being able to afford the bare basics of a good life? This is the only chance I get at life and I’m so fucking pissed off that this is it. I have been told “live everyday like it’s your last” for fucking ever. Who the hell would go to work if they were gonna die tomorrow. I’m so fucking sick of living in this endless groundhogs day loop. I’m just circling the drain. Every second spent at work I’m fuming over having my time wasted on this mundane bullshit. How can anyone look me in the eyes and tell me this is worthwhile? How can you tell me it’s going to get better when it’s…

This is the second time that I’ve received this email, the thing is that I don’t remember applying to this company (but I’ve applied to a lot of receptionist offers, so I might have overlooked it?). The first time I didn’t answer because it feels fishy, I’m not in the US, it would take a lot to help me establish there, the working visa and all that, it seems crazy that they need someone with little to not qualifications like me for a basic job like being a receptionist. The first time I looked at the hotel through google and it seemed legitimate, but I don’t know, I’m afraid of applying and finding myself in a tough position since there’s a lot of horror stories about being brought to another country and forced to work there while they hold onto your passport and other personal items. Does this look like…
I'm speaking of recruiters that are employed by the hiring company. A few weeks ago, I was invited to interview for a position I applied for. I did, then I was ghosted. I was contacted by another recruiter about the same time, and scheduled an interview. The recruiter cancelled the interview shortly after, saying the manager had a conflict. He assured me he would reach out to reschedule. It turns out he sent my application to the wrong manager. But instead of telling me, he ghosted me. Earlier this week, I got a call back and an email requesting a time frame for an interview. I responded, and got ghosted. I put a lot of time and effort into my resume, navigating the cumbersome application processes, taking time off of work, dry cleaning a suit. I don't even deserve a response? These positions are senior level management positions at local…
Historia Civilis is a very well regarded historical youtube channel, particularly among people who like Roman history. I am here because he has made a video I think you guys would find very interesting. Please do check it out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvk_XylEmLo I was unemployed for a total of about three years, I wound up changing careers and I like my job but I see people in my office who feel very differently. I sympathize with you, and hope you get what you want. Maybe we should tax AI to pay for UBI.
My family didn't encourage me to join a union when I started working and my mum wasn't active in trade unions until much later on life when she was established in her profession. My last job I really had an extremely diffcult time and it has damaged my confidence. I was the youngest employee in the department me being 25 at the time. I was nice to everyone at work everyday, during Christmas I sent the entire department a Christmas card, always helped people when they needed assistance with their work but still my colleagues who I saw everyday couldn't be honest with me about anything and kept going behind my back to our boss. I struggled to fit in at work. Everyone was quiet,older and put up with the entitled customer base unfair unreasonable demands whereas I was not afraid to stand up to entilted customers if they went…
