I’ve had a string of interviews since December that felt like a waste of time. Managers are coming off cold or even rude, and it’s starting to wear me down. One recruiter actually told me they wouldn't hire me because they thought I’d be late every day, even though I was early for the interview. If you’ve already decided you don't want me, why bring me in just to be critical and unprofessional? Is anyone else seeing this trend?

I've been hearing this a lot lately, and it’s frustrating on both sides. Some hiring managers are stretched thin and not great at interviewing, but that doesn’t excuse rude behavior.

If there is a case that we have to quarantine again. Do you all think it is possible for store associates to work remotely? If so, what are some ways this could work? I fear another pandemic or outbreak and so many people being out of work again. I can't even fathom those that had jobs in retail that had little to no choice to not be remote.

Am I the only person who has been super disgusted to Fishbowl’s response to the Meta layoffs? I’ve been laid off twice in my career but I’m not mad at 11000 people who no longer have jobs just cause they got decent severance while I got a week on my way out. Facebook is hot garbage but I’m pretty sure 0 out of the 11000 were making those decisions. So why are you upset about it? Urgh. Y’all are weird.
