im wondering why people apply to work if they are not willing to work in the first place ???
MoochNNoodles well that is different then the generation of today where they only want the money but dont want to work for itWhen i lost my job in 2007 I was required to apply for a certain number of positions per week to collect my unemployment. I got a job and worked one day before I found out it was not what I applied for! I had to explain to unemployment why I couldn’t keep that job. I was still dealing with the after effects of a back injury back then and fetching motorcycle parts from a huge warehouse is not clerical work. I was supremely uncomfortable there too. Fortunately I was hired at another place a few weeks later and that job was a MUCH better fit even though it was new to me in a lot of ways.
Lol, "generation of today", I wouldn't have guessed you were that old . While there are of course always some people who don't want to work (as there always has been), don't confuse that for demands for humane working conditions as so many do. Employers have been allowed to get away with far too much for far too long, it's about time they got their comeuppance.MoochNNoodles well that is different then the generation of today where they only want the money but dont want to work for it
W Willowy i am 48 years old and have worked for everything i got ... i was raised to believe that you work for what you want and not beg for itLol, "generation of today", I wouldn't have guessed you were that old .

Ah, I thought you were younger for some reason, sorry .
W Willowy i was referring to my husband's co-workers .. they are very lazy and he ends up having to do everythingAh, I thought you were younger for some reason, sorry .
Not knowing the particulars, I'm just saying that many older people seem to think that employees should have to beg their employers for basic human decency, and get mad about younger people not putting up with abuse. So just saying that I hope the situation you're complaining about is actually a case of someone not wanting to work, and not one of those situations.
I know. It's awful. I am a teenager and I like to work but don't care that much about the money. I like to know that I earned the money.MoochNNoodles well that is different then the generation of today where they only want the money but dont want to work for it
I mean, one of the reasons we decided I'd stay at home and not work for a few years was because factoring in day care costs and gas, what I was making in a Catholic school wasn't worth it. I'd get more in a public school, but add in the pandemic, and we're even happier with the decision. I'll rejoin the work force once kids are in school.Ah, I thought you were younger for some reason, sorry .

It would depend on what kind of work you want to do. Teaching where you can't just leave your students, probably not. But working in an office or call center, or a remote position which are more common these days, or even something slow and low key where you can use the bathroom as needed like shelving books at the library should be doable with a few accommodations.i am disabled and have to be within a good view of a bathroom now ... i would like to work but not sure that i can with crohns disease ??
Once you have more than one kid, there's honestly no point unless you're making $120,000+, even then it would depend where you live, etc. Daycare costs are wild. My cousin just had her second, and I'm pretty sure she'll end up not going back to work (she won't say that, though, because she's on paid maternity leave and doesn't want to jeopardize that).I mean, one of the reasons we decided I'd stay at home and not work for a few years was because factoring in day care costs and gas, what I was making in a Catholic school wasn't worth it.
Daycare would have cost all but $20 of my paycheck. Literally.

Wages haven't kept up with cost of living, and while I did my work, I put in way more effort when I felt appreciated. Workplace culture affects a lot.
My friend is a respritory therapist at the local hospital and has chrons. She's been hospitalized a few times but hasn't had to stop working. Her father also had it and had periods where he was hospitalized frequently but eventually he went into a remission they said. It really depends on the person.One of my co-workers has Crohn's. . .a lot depends on how well it's managed with meds, I'm sure.
If they have fewer than 15 employees they don't have to follow the ADA or anti-discrimination laws. . .it's considered too much of a burden or some such, idk.Most employers, large and small, must follow ADA guidelines regarding reasonable accommodations for disabilities and for the most part they do attempt to accommodate.
True, very small employers are exempt but that still leave a huge percentage of employers that must accommodate.If they have fewer than 15 employees they don't have to follow the ADA or anti-discrimination laws. . .it's considered too much of a burden or some such, idk.
I have a friend with epilepsy who desperately wants to work, because she's bored to death staying at home (no kids), but no employers are willing to accomodate her need for a flexible schedule and a lot of sick days, even a lot of volunteer opportunites get mad about her not being able to schedule too far in advance. Which is understandable, sure, but it's a shame there isn't someone out there who could deal with it. She once worked for a family friend's daycare and loved it, but nobody who isn't family or a close friend is willing.
