It's wild how much the introduction of remote work into most office jobs changed the world. These days, you'd be hard-pressed to find a company in NYC that doesn't implement some work-from-home element, with most jobs having a hybrid model. The 3-day in-person workweek is ubiquitous. I was still in college in 2020 and 2021 when remote work was at its highest, but I could see its positive impact through my online classes. Without going around campus all day, I could get so much more work done wh…

Interviewing for jobs can be such a thankless experience. In this day and age, it's almost guaranteed that hundreds of people are applying for the same gig that you are - and if you know anything about statistics and probability, the odds are (generally) not in your favor. Unless you're a nepotism baby, of course. But for the rest of us, it's hard knowing you might not be a company's top pick, or even their third, for that matter. But the last thing you want is to actually witness a conversatio…

What a nightmare

Not all heroes wear capes

"He's lucky I didn't quit on the spot"

'CEO tried to bully me. I knew my rights.'

Spoiler alert: He learned nothing

Comfort is a crime

What's their damage?

When you're young, you're constantly told never to sign anything you've never read in full. Contracts always have little loopholes in them, and signing a bad contract can have negative effects on your life in the long term. While that's true, how many times have y'all fully read a contract you signed? Sure, I read my rental contract and my job contract carefully, but that's about it. I never read contracts for iPhone terms and conditions or the doctor's office, and I know someday that's going t…

There's only so much you can do to get a job when your resume is not up to par. You can change the verbiage you use to describe your job-hopping as much as you'd like, but employers are just going to see the same thing: an unreliable person who can't be trusted to stay at their company for longer than a year. In this economy, it makes sense why someone would be a job hopper . Loyalty to a position or a company is rarely rewarded with more money, and sending out hundreds of applications and gett…

Sorry not sorry

If you think Twitter's a hellsite, you've got a big storm coming

When you quit your job, you hope you never hear from those people ever again. You put your resignation in writing, date it, send it off, and work your final two weeks in awkward silence. Sometimes, quitting your job goes easily. It's so simple to quit a job in college after the semester is over. Are you a senior? Are you dropping out? Nobody cares! They will get a bunch of hungry freshmen next year who are hungry to work for $9 an hour. It's a lot more difficult to quit a job where you're a vit…
