"NoBoDy WaNtS tO wOrK."

MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE YOU ALMOST GO OUT OF YOUR WAY TO GET PEOPLE NOT TO WORK FOR YOU.

Literally just had the rudest interview of my life with a lady who basically told me that they are "hiring" but not really (and even though it said "some nights" she basically said all nights) and got scolded like she was my mother over me wanting $13 per hour (mind you I said I was fine with $11 per hour because I need the money and I've made over $20 per hour so it's not like I was really exaggerating)... anyway I know some people don't like their job but GEEZ lady, she asks me more questions (and mind you this is just the phone interview and I did this first thing this morning so clearly she knows I was looking forward to the interview/prepared and basically rubs it in my face that I am basically not gonna get the job).

I answer more of her questions like "What is good customer service" and I answer "active listening and really focusing on what the customer wants, etc. etc." and she proceeds to LAUGH AUDIBLY ON THE PHONE AT MY ANSWERS and says "well this is awkward"....lady you are the one making it awkward like WTF?

I finally lose it when she says in a critical tone "were you like ever promoted or anything" while also mentioning like 20 more times that they probably don't have an opening (so asking questions for her amusement I guess???...I literally just hung up...

Anyway the job hunt is going amazing in 2023.

We are more connected than ever but it seems only conservatives in the U.S. are using social media to organize boycotts of stores and products they don’t agree with on a large scale. How can we come together and show the collective power of workers and improve the standard of living for workers all around the world?

Edit: whether the boycotts themselves are effective or not they are still effectively using social media to organize their political base against corporations they don’t like.

Lost my shit on my now former boss two weeks ago. I mean, all but beat his ass, lost my shit. Told him none of his employees respect him at all and no one wants to work for him, and we all know he doesnt do a fucking thing in his office all day but sit on his fat ass. HR heard about the argument and started reviewing cameras. He was terminated last Friday for watching porn in his office all day everyday. Fucker.

I work for a General Contractor and yesterday aftrr work my boss text me a link to a time clock app and told me that I need to put it on my phone and start using it. He also says I need to turn on the GPS to always. Doing some look-see about the app, it would have access to my folders, photo gallery, contacts etc. And it would track me 24/7. The data is not encrypted or secured.

I have a major problem with this, he wants me to put it on my personal phone. We don't have company phones. I called him and explained to him I do not feel comfortable putting an invasive app on my personal phone, and it turned into an argument with him telling me he doesn't understand and it's not a big deal. After telling him I wouldn't have problem if it was a company phone but I will not put it on my personal phone. The call ended with him not totally understanding and me still not putting this damn thing on my phone.

Am I wrong with my stance?

Today I was caught by head of HR when I clocked in and brought to the conference room out of no where. I was very confused and asked why I was being fired (because naturally given the big boss and my sections Big boss and head of HR were in there with me that’s where my brain went). I was told I’m not being fired, but we need to get to the bottom of a situation.

For reference I’m new, just got off training 2 weeks ago and was only hired in late April level of new. I had zero idea there was anything to get to the bottom of, so I clammed up and waited to be told more. After some beating around it, they finally said it has come to their attention I dislike a coworker; and since we are a “family” here, that’s not going to fly. I finally got which coworker and actually laughed.

This coworker “Kate” was training me my second week. In 25 minutes she asked if I was a lesbian. Kate then asked my opinion on abortion, religion in public schools and gay marriage. When I gave her no answers to go off and flatly refused to share my sexual orientation Kate went off on a 1.5 hour tirade to me and another coworker “Manny” about all of the above with some frightening opinions that would make the staunchest conservative uncomfortable.

I finally shut the situation down by asking Kate flatly if I needed to go do some work alone or was she going to teach me.

I never brought this up to anyone ever again, because Kate is 17 and still learning how to function and what “there’s a time and place” means. Apparently Manny finally got bothered enough by it to bring it up to Kate’s sister “Sam” who works here on occasion.

Sam, realizing the gravity of that conversation rushed to warn HR that there was a potential ticking time bomb between me and Kate that they may want to address. HR then took that to mean I just don’t like Kate, without actually reading what the email was warning about.

HR now doesn’t like me because I refused to apologize to Kate for making her “uncomfortable” and to Manny for including her in “petty rivalry” between me and Kate. I also refused to apologize to Sam who apparently has been “distressed” by this situation and won’t sign the form saying I’ve addressed my concerns about workplace hostility and absolve them of responsibility.

Big boss is on the war path over this, HR wants me gone i think but can’t figure out how to do it. And my departments Big boss told me don’t stress it, and if I want a mediation with Kate and Manny she will sit in as the observer “just in case HR gets confused again”.

So yeah, fun times. I hate working for idiots.
