"From each according to his ability, to each according to his need." - some rear end in a top hat, probably let's face it, the world loving sucks right now. be it climate, cops, or covid, you have dozens of threads in this forum that you can boil your brain in for a similar result: everything's hosed and the only reasonable solution is to take drugs and dissociate. i'd like to offer that yeah, maybe things are hosed. however, that doesn't mean that we can't try and do a little good for each other as the world gets stupider on a daily basis. maybe you've got a skill that you've picked up over the years that you can share with another poster. maybe you've got a job opening at your place of employment that can be just what someone else is looking for. we're all across the world and span race, class, age, and profession. maybe, just maybe, your posting could genuinely help someone you don't know. What's the Point of This Thread? this thread is for those of us that have picked up skills that have helped us navigate this capitalist hellscape and want to share them with others. it's also a place for goons who might need a hand beyond the goonbux & mental health threads. who knows, maybe someone doomscrolling here can help them. know of a WFH job that someone can use to get out of the plague mines? share a post! heard of a way for goons desperate to put something positive into the world from their computers? great, post it! need some assistance? ask a bunch of twitter-addled leftists! chances are someone here's been through what you're going through too! THREAD SUGGESTIONS - please remember that there are perverts that trawl this forum looking to doxx leftists. please be sparing with personal information and move to pms/offsite communication when appropriate. - don't forget that there are other boards here with specialty information too! they're always a good place to start but if the OP from 2008 doesn't help you, don't hesitate to drop a post in here! if you've got something to share: do me a favor and DM me so i can quote your original post so it gets signal boosted! if possible, please consider using the following format: - your name on SA - what you're sharing - any restrictions on what you're sharing (ex. if its a job, is it only hiring in certain states? if it's a free class, what restrictions are on it?) - a good way to get a hold of you (dms, a dummy email you've set up, etc) - what you'll need from people contacting you to help them! if you need some help: i'd strongly recommend that you be as specific as possible so people reading the thread trying to help can help you. just be sure not to give any potentially doxxable information!

WFH JOB EMPORIUM Are YOU a C-SPAMMER who has had their job hosed by COVID or is being forced to go back to a plague pit so your boss can see your smile? Do YOU or someone you know have a knot in their stomach because they have to roll the dice with death every day for a pitiful paycheck? TELL YOUR BOSS TO GO TO HELL this will be a constantly updating database of goons that reach out to me that have WFH jobs available. some might be advanced engineering positions, some might not. it's going to be a grab bag of stuff but hey, hopefully you find something WE LOSE ENOUGH OF OUR LIVES TO OUR WORK, GOON. THERE'S NO REASON TO LOSE YOUR LIFE BECAUSE OF IT.

My partner is looking for a WFH job as her unemployment is ending soon. Mostly experienced as a FOH manager/barista/Ice cream maker for a donut shop, did a short WFH gig for Wells Fargo approving PPP loans. Based in Minneapolis, MN. Any leads would be appreciated.

Goon here, my wife applied for and was hired for one of the jobs business gorilla is talkin about here and it's a super sweet work from home job for $16 an hour and she starts on september 20th. This poo poo for real folks, get you some computer touchin' jobs!!! in addition to $16 an hour, it's $19 an hour on weekends, they're sending her a computer, and they're gonna pay her $60 a month to cover our internet(!!!!) on top of all that. This is a sweet gig, even if she winds up on the phone all day or whatever like they claim will happen. It sounds like she'll just basically be reading off lists of charges on cards being like 'is this one you? is this one you?'.

Turmup Well I was informed recently by some podcaster that black pilling is privilege and acting on doomer impulses is amoral so I guess I'll post here as my first step in the journey of converting to "mutual aid and working to establish dual power is the proper thing to do instead of becoming a hermit in the woods" I have a wfh with a big multinational. I have access to the internal job board. The company is a fairly good European based corporate citizen as far as any one of them can be. They have announced a new normal of permanent wfh or discretionary hybrid for any employees world wide. Once you get a year on grade, they will visa sponsor to pretty much anywhere in the world. I can refer internally to any division although I have no say in any hiring positions. For myself, I'm am EE (abet, no PE) in non power related applications. Have 10 years xp in industrial automation, controls, scada, robots, cnc machine building and a handful of other things. If anyone is looking for an industrial computer toucher who is actually pleasant to be around and shows well ...I'd be happy to hear about it.

There's a gig opened up on my team, full time WFH (we went WFH before the pandemic so no going back), salaried, I wanna say starts around $49k but it might be more, must be in the US. Call center admin, specifically in workforce management and more specifically in managing Avaya CMS and 1x phone logins and call recording through Mattersight, and coordinating with extremely loving insane telecom engineers. Lots of meetings and spreadsheets, very fast-paced, bosses can be pretty demanding. big company and all the bullshit that comes with that. The bosses claim they want experience but I can probably talk them out of it if you have any kind of technical background. hmu in pm next couple of days if you're into it and I'll get you the application info, i'll put in a good word for good posters

Business Gorillas posted:Thanks for posting! So what kind of jobs are they hiring for? Are they engineering jobs like yours or something else? They have 4 large different divisions and half a million employees world wide, so there is a job for almost anything in the business sector. Marketing, accounting, logistics, support, field techs, engineering, project managers, you name it. It's all industrial / energy adjacent. They tend to hire in country for work a day folks but you can very easily use it to escape demon cracker nation, even if single and over 40. There are thousands of jobs on the internal board. Folks are welcome to PM me if interested and I can run a query to see what they have for some ones domain area. I can search by country as well.

Any advice on resume gaps? I currently have a job that's not very good, but it's my only experience for like three years. I want to get out of here in ~6 months, but I'm worried having that big gape might scare off employers. Thanks for this thread, hope it sticks around.

Not related to me or any company I work for, but I was forwarded a good position at a good non-profit: a food co-op in Iowa is looking for a developer to support a web application that they've created. They plan on open-sourcing the application to other co-ops. Apply within: https://iowafoodfoundation.org/developer $50-90/hour, part-time minimum 3 hours a week, fully remote.

Organic Lube User posted:Business Gorillas, any estimate on when your positions will be open to those in other states, particularly Colorado? for my company we're working on all 50 states, just that filing paperwork is kind of a bitch. i'll be updating it as i get more info (we just moved into MD & PA last week, for example) also, we'll be mailing you your computer and stuff, so you'd probably want to get it. that being said, we're aware people lie on our forms and we're on the lookout for people trying to be sneaky. also, the big reason why i'm so lassiez-faire about requirements is because if you accept an offer, we have background check specialists that will gently caress you if you try and pull a quick one later on in the process. if you're gonna try and roll the dice, i don't know you and i won't help you

Didn't know if it was an imminent thing or more of a "check back in a year" thing. And about the address thing, I mostly wanted to know how much the company actually cares, and since they do I'm happy to oblige them and wait until they can offer employment in my state before applying. I'm mostly getting antsy because my work has already tried to hide several cases of infection and I'm trusting them less and less as delta ramps up. Not too worried about background checks unless they care about weed misdemeanors, which I'm always upfront about but also prefer not to waste anyone's time needlessly over.

Quick backstory: I have a very specific niche MA and I have been out of the work force for some time due to family and health issues. Right now I'm taking care of my dad who has dementia but I'll likely be getting some in-home help with that soonish, which means I can return to the workforce. I'm looking for a nonprofit sector job, preferably in something like development but I'll take almost anything to get my foot in the door. I would prefer part-time for right now but open to full time. Problem: the gap in my resume. I don't really know how to address this & fear that any employer would just trash my resume upon seeing it. I also would really need someone to look over my resume and maybe give me pointers about a cover letter. There is a job I have in mind that I might apply for, though it'd mostly be for practice since I don't know if I could even accept the job if I were offered it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
