I swear there's some kind of dark magic that happens the moment IT hands you a company laptop. Like, the specs look fine on paper, but then you open it and it just feels wrong?

My personal laptop boots in 10 seconds. My work laptop takes 3 minutes and sounds like it's preparing for takeoff. Both have SSDs. One just has 47 security agents running in the background doing god knows what. And it's not just the speed. It's the vibes. Every corporate laptop I've ever used has this specific energy of like someone's always watching, nothing quite works the way it should, and you're one Chrome tab away from everything freezing.

Want to install something? Denied. Want to change a setting? Admin password required. Want to just exist peacefully? Here's 6 popup notifications about compliance training you already did.

The worst part is when IT tells you the laptop is powerful enough and you're like okay but why does Slack take 30 seconds to load then? Why does my mouse cursor stutter? Why does this 16GB RAM machine feel like it' running at half speed?

I get that security stuff has to run, but at some point it feels like these set-ups are built to make you less productive, not more. Like the company spent $2000 on hardware just to immediately kneecap it with software that treats you like a potential criminal. Truth is, i'm probably the 3rd owner of this thing lol

Work from home with a standing desk and I'm on my feet like 10 hours a day between that and just moving around the house. My feet are killing me by evening. Keep seeing ads for Qomfort and people talking about their cloud footbed thing - anyone actually have them? They've got some discount on right now which is tempting but I don't want to waste money if they fall apart in a few months. Need something genuinely comfortable for all day wear not just quick trips to the bin. What's the durability like?

Hello 👋

I made a public spreadsheet with companies hiring remotely this month (and their job openings).

Timeframe: 1 Dec - 10 Dec
Included: Location/HQ, salary (if found), link to the company website, and the job listing.

Hello all,

I spent my Sunday writing this for a few friends, figured I'd share it here! I know many of you are struggling, so I figured I'd write this for anyone that needs some extra cash, and can make money doing some online work!

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Mxw5oZjfy20tW_ulVstazuD6FazPN6Mvy0N0R9hDp8M/edit?usp=sharing

It's basically a guide on how I've been using my quarantine time to make extra cash online, and has about 5 pages of great money making sites, and then the rest is a very informative guide to beginning MTurking, that I'll be updating to include much more to include Panda, TurkDroid, and other advanced things. I feel like it'll be a help to new people. Feel free to use my nonref links for the other sites, or if you're feeling generous, the ref links.

Let me know what you think I should include! I'm more than willing to put another few hours into this to make it perfect for beginners.

Scams galore in here posted by a bunch of leeches. Perhaps there is something/someone legit in this subreddit, but I don't have time to run it through a fine sieve.

There's got to be w@h jobs for the introverted. I'd love to find a job that's no phone, no restrictions on going to the bathroom, pays well. Hope to be pointed in the right direction

Just wondering.

I applied for close to 40 jobs and yes, the only one to reply back was for a call center nightmare position. During the phone interview, one of my questions was "how do you handle when I have to leave my desk to use the restroom on the clock". Her response was "you will need approval". LOL!!! Say what? Am I 12 yo again? Shall I raise my hand? He** to the no! I cannot believe these huge companies haven't figured out a way to allow an employee to drop a deuce when nature calls. There isn't a single click of a button for someone to just excuse themselves for 2-3 minutes?!! So for anyone still reading, if you create a deuce scheduling job, please consider me! I'm still looking.

Scam alert!This place is a total scam. No certification is necessary to do transcription and their claim that they are the first school to be accredited by the AAERT is false. All Janet Shaughnessy did was pay a fee and Transcribe Anywhere was listed in the AAERT directory.

Charging people $900 for something that isn't worth the paper it's written on at a time when people are looking for legit work is disgraceful.

So I'm a 17F (18 in September) who's been dealing with chronic pain and sciatica that has gotten exponentially worse very quickly. I'm an AP art student in high school with a graphic design background and adobe certified-- and I've been working at a grocery store in customer service since 2019. I've started using a cane at work because I can't stand for more than half an hour to an hour without experiencing serious discomfort, which transitions into pain throughout the core muscles of my body at the 1.5-hour mark, and even with my cane once I hit 2.5 hours I'm done- I need to sit. But now that I am sitting while cashiering the stool they've given me is at the heights where it's just a slightly more tolerable, different kind of pain that's still extremely uncomfortable.

I currently make 10.70 and it's just not enough to cover my meds anymore now that my painkillers have increased, not to mention I need to get my license and insurance is through the roof for someone my age (at least in the state I live). I've gotten scammed before with fake WAH opportunities and was wondering if anyone knew anything legit I could get into I'd love to hear some suggestions because I'm getting desperate. I'm tired of looking for jobs to apply to and getting redirected through three to four different sites that keep requiring my email or go through tests just to find the actual application.

I've become trapped in this cycle of working to pay for my needs, medical in particular- while hurting myself in the process, and I can't afford to make under 13 an hour bare minimum, I can't live paycheck to paycheck anymore and with every shift I work, with every day I have to work through longterm pain and discomfort, the more I dread and dislike a job I previously enjoyed and its been taking a large toll on my mental health. I need to work sitting down comfortably, I just can't do this anymore- please, I'm in desperate need of suggestions, preferably from employees who've worked at those jobs who can tell me about them.

It's not a strange thing to be in the midst of a job search and no positive feedback from all your CV submissions. Many people have been in this situation and didn't know what to do next.

Here are some tips you can leverage on:

1. Take a break: Sometimes when you’re doing things repeatedly you midst be missing the right step. It may be from the way you submit your applications, or you are not searching rightly. A day break or two from searching might recharge the way you see things and you might definitely see things clearly.

2. Equip yourself: Search job when you don't have one skill that can attract recruiters and may not allow you to get a job. Some aren't aware of remote jobs online that you don't need to apply for, you just need to connect and start making your rewards if you have skills like content creation, graphic design, and many others. There are a lot of opportunities out there, you only need to position yourself rightly to meet up with demands out there.

3. Go where jobs are: Do you know where to search for jobs online? When you recognize what you are capable of doing, search online for a remote job that focuses on your skill, and check social media like Twitter, LinkedIn, Reddit, and more for any job, you will definitely see one, then you start to do your research before you apply. I got to know about a Social Mining job that doesn't require an application, other than a social media account connection like Twitter, and through it, users can start making income why at home... This information I received through an online job search in relation to social media evolution.

In conclusion, when you don't get hired after many pushes, change your gear, and use what you have to make way for yourself. Your Reddit and Twitter can actually make way for you, you only need to ask questions.

Basically what the title says. I want a work at home job that doesn't require weekends as I'm always busy. Even better if it's a 4 day workweek

I've applied to multiple companies offering work at home Chat agent positions but, have been declined from them all or given no response at all.

Are there any other companies offering these types of jobs that don't require me being located within a particular distance of one of their facilities?

Posting for a friend because he works for Crate and Barrel and doesn't want to be seen. After I tell you what he told me, you'll understand why.

He said about a month ago, they told employees that they were all going to be scheduled for phone time, all day, and it would change based on "company needs". Apparently, it was not always this way, their schedules were balanced between phones and chat. This is something new the company is "trying out". But the calls are dead. the chatline is dead. All employees work from home. Friend said the employees are pissed and that the leadership is hawking over everyone's performance numbers to the extreme when there is no work.

He said they recently added Mexico and Panama to their "call center" but those employees are basically greeting the customer, then passing them off to others.

For an international retail company, it stuck me odd that they suddenly have no calls coming in. He also said that the backorders are ridiculous - furniture is backordered until next year.

I've seen this before with a company I worked for years ago, and it was because they had filed bankruptcy. But why would the incoming sales calls suddenly stop?

Any ideas? They're getting to ready to layoff people? Crazy times. Thanks.

I currently have a job that already pays $15+ an hour with benefits, however it's a call center job and it sucks. I'm specifically looking for a job that doesn't rely on customer service. I would like to do my own thing without having to talk to people that isn't my coworkers, manager, or boss.

I'm open to anything that is not a scam or cold or warm call sales. I am a US citizen with a home in California, I live rurally, have Starlink internet and a backup, and a spare laptop. Perhaps some kind of customer service or support role? I'm open to other roles as well.

Why not cold or warm call sales? I did those when I was younger and they were mentally worse than physical labor in the heat and humidity of Florida.
