Facebook Aunt posted:You landlord will get mad if those payments are coming after the due date. These guys will pay your rent on the 1st and then you have the whole month to pay them back. Of course once you do that you'll never be able to quit the service because that would mean during a single month you would need to make enough money to pay back the loan and pay your next month's rent -- effectively enough money to pay your rent twice in a single month. It's a trap. Yeah to be clear this whole thing is basically a loan for rent money dressed up as some kind of convenience feature.

Just read a few articles about personality testing/employee screening and holy cow, it's absolutely a way to either fire you immediately (or put you at the top of the list to get rid of) or never promote you. As business marketing professor and consultant Neil Kokemuller has written, “Disgruntled workers … potentially persuade others that the company is unfair or not a good place to work. Screening tools help companies avoid hiring employees that could become negative influences on the workplace.” One advertisement for a pre-hire test aimed at nurses and other professional employees promised it could weed out “undesirable behaviors” such as “focus on pay, benefits, and status,” in favor of “desirable behaviors,” such as “focus on enjoyment of the job.”

It's not all good, there are things about my job I don't like, but that's also how I feel about my family and I guess my hobbies to the extent I have time for them.

I wouldn’t say I “enjoy” my job the way I enjoy playing Xbox or eating a good slice of pizza But I certainly tolerate it more then most any other job I would reasonably be qualified for, and occasionally I get to work on interesting projects and I appreciate the outcome of them. That is probably the best case scenario in America.

bawfuls posted:"Everybody has the right to a decent job" What? Those questions have nothing to do with putting people on teams for some kind of game. That's blatantly trying to put people on lists to be gotten rid of as soon as possible or never promoted. I very much enjoy my job as an elementary school teacher. However, the only reason I can do it is because I already have a retirement from my first job and got to go to college for free too.

I enjoy my job, but mostly because I work nights and therefore what problems that come in can be easily and quickly fobbed off on the better paid day shift assholes. I might do one or two hours of real work for each 10 hour shift. Minimum wage = minimum work

Ironically I do mostly enjoy this job. It's stimulating work, the people I work with are competent and agreeable, they've been pretty good about covid protocols and working from home, the pay is acceptable, etc. It is an "ideal" computer-toucher job in a booming industry which allows me to  much of the day.

If they're about to go on a firing spree that would be a real galaxy brain move. Last year was the most profitable year in company history and they are constantly under-staffed because the industry is so strong people are jumping ship for more pay elsewhere.

I just started a government job in public health IT this year (non-clinical), and it is about as secure a job as you can get in our current hellscape, pays well, and has great benefits. I don't know if it'll be my last job (based on the retirement benefits, I'm hoping to retire at 55, in 2038ish), but barring something going wrong, I think it'll be my last employer. I really like my team, and while the agency isn't perfectly altruistic, it's definitely work I feel good about doing.

And since the expectation is for another record year, we'll have to make some cutbacks, and not in my bonus.

Is there any way to inherit your job when you leave it? Just put "internet rear end in a top hat" in your will they'll know it's me

poo poo POST MALONE posted:work fuckin sucks and anyone who says otherwise is overpaid. No work loving sucks too. And not just financially, but also because of lack of casual social relations with coworkers and (for some of us) the lack of contributing to anything larger than oneself. Much of this can be alleviated with hobbies I guess, but what are hobbies but unpaid jobs? Of course, under automated luxury gay space communism, no one will have real jobs and it will all be fun and games (and nerds doing research).

I've enjoyed a number of jobs given the reality that I have to work at all in order to live Like, I wouldn't have done those things for free on my day off or paid to do them, but I don't think that's a reasonable standard to say you enjoy something like a job

I'm too disabled to work. I was talking to my husband about how much I missed my job, missed being competent, missed being a star. When I found out my former profession (technical writing) existed, I was ecstatic, and thought "This job was invented for me." It was. No, I can't volunteer. I have tried volunteering twice, and it didn't work. I cannot keep project deadlines, even voluntary ones.

If I had a choice, I would 100% rather make a bit less and be union. Unfortunately, I don't, so I just accept that as a downside of my particular role.
