Recruiters and much of HR have to be some of the biggest grifters in the private sector. Literally do nothing but pretend to know how to hire The Best People all day long and still get normal-rear end employees.

They serve an important function as a brick wall between the unwashed wage filth and actual decision makers.

The worst interview I ever had is a tie between the one where the interviewer blew a huge fart and the one where the interviewer casually lit a cigarette and started chain smoking.

I would have taken the job with the no fucks given smoker. That was a test.

I am not familiar with US work man rights. Is it really the case the individual employer gets to decide whether they pay overtime or not? Because that is hosed up.

I think it's more that rostering is scheduled tightly thanks to computerised time management and corporate edicts that overtime never be offered, so if overtime absolutely must be done, it goes to an old timer/pet.

Or alternatively they just don't pay you extra for it. What are you gonna do, leave and find somewhere else that also doesn't pay extra for it?

Oh yeah but I guess we're talking in the realm of the rules. Most places roster hard enough to kill overtime and run split shifts and poo poo so they don't need to screw anyone illegally. It's all above board.

Plus weekly shift reallocation because gently caress the idea of you having a schedule

In Australia a massive number of people work casual or labour hire. In the case of labour hire you get a text message at 7pm for a shift at 6am and if you miss one you stop getting text messages! Incredible!

E: I'm sure this happens elsewhere, but it's a massive blind spot for the majority of people here because it's only the very, very poor and immigrants generally working this way. Most developed countries don't allow you to engage people this way (i assume this is fine in the US)
