    “We’ve polled our workforce about our new Dynamic Wages™️initiative, and 100% of remaining employees agree!”

    Cool, so you’re an employee owned cooperative now?

    As long as there’s a contracted minimum and advanced scheduling its fine. I don’t think this is what they’re asking.

    I’ll pose my own question.

    Would you be comfortable if your employees worked other jobs that reduce their schedule flexibility and could cause scheduling conflicts or coverage gaps between shifts? (for example, I can’t work mon, tues, thurs, fri because I have another job that gives me a regular paycheck and they have scheduled me working then.)

    would you be comfortable with a worker whose productivity may vary from week to week or month to month?

    I didn’t realize until right now that part of my personal definition of “career” includes a steady (or at least somewhat predictable) income.

    Some of the shit I am seeing right now while job searching is just appalling. I have had to opt out to having an AI review my resume twice. The employers CLAIM they won’t see that as a negative, but I have my doubts. The sketchiness of some of them is amazing too. Check this one out:

    And the language, it makes me want to get stabby. “Are you a visionary creative leader with a passion for social media and an eye for aesthetics?” Can you go fuck yourselves?

    Also, having never worked in the UK before, I’m pretty shocked that they want to know my sexuality and whether I am the same gender I was assigned at birth. That is on a LOT of job applications and it is not always skippable even if I thought it was a good idea to skip it. Totally wouldn’t be legal in the U.S.

    A couple of days ago, I applied for the position of “Creative Content Creator.” I believe there is a phrase in the U.K. for being laid off- “made redundant…” I think you’re made redundant when you get hired for that job.
