    A lot of times places like that won’t look at you if you’re overqualified, because they don’t want to spend the time and effort to train you, knowing or expecting you to be looking elsewhere from day 1.

      That’s why you lie on your resume if you’re applying for a job you’re overqualified for

        Correct currently working at Walgreens as a shift lead. Bullshit resume and bs my way through the interview. Even didn’t start until I passed my P&C license exam. Just waiting on a license then I can apply at good paying jobs. Its tough and retail sucks. But got to pay the bills and do what got to do to survive.

      That comment has a strong boomer vibe.

        a bit uncalled for, they’re reporting what they see and asking for more info to validate/invalidate it. That’s someone who’s willing to have their mind changed

          The “anecdote” is tell tale sign

          In my area they are hiring every where! Get a min wage job and work your way up!

            People do genuinely live in different bubbles through no fault of their own. Consider how well off you are from your GenZ compatriots, a difference you might not see but that they definitely do.

            Those asking for information to expand their scope shouldn’t be chastised for it

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Our Philosophies:

  • All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
  • Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
  • Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
  • We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.

Our Goals

  • Higher wages for underpaid workers.
  • Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
  • Better and fewer working hours.
  • Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
  • Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.
