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…

Unfortunately, there are way, way too many jobs that are happy and more than willing to pay you next to nothing . As is the case with many of these sorts of positions, these jobs are menial, mind-numbingly boring, and managed by cruel individuals. The subject of today's story was a worker at a grocery store deli, earning only 12.5 dollars per painstaking hour. As most of us would…

Boss doesn't like the consequences of his own actions, takes it out on employees

Before entering an industry, it's good to know whether the people in it are completely rotten . This is easy to gauge when you're only applying to jobs on a small scale. I knew I did not want to work at the Smoothie King in my hometown when I was in high school because all the kids who worked there were absolute menaces. That was easy to avoid. However, if I dedicated my schooling life to becoming a fierce mortuary professional and subsequently found out that everyone in the death industry was…

I'm still clapping for you, nurses

The little things are what make a tough workplace at least somewhat bearable. Whether that's talking to your coworkers, getting a nice lunch, or maybe just having a short break every one-in-awhile, the little things most certainly count. At this construction company, it was the communal speaker. According to the employee, who works in a computer position in the company, the construction firm employs a lot of Latino men for much of the physical portions of projects.
