The expectation to be available for "on-call" shifts without any guaranteed pay is becoming a huge issue in the service industry. Being told to wait by the phone on a Saturday morning just in case it gets busy is essentially unpaid labor. Is this practice widespread in your area, or do most places at least give you a few hours of pay for holding your time?

I also applied to some of the roles using friend’s referral. I have more than 15 years in IT infrastructure mainly in Storage systems (EMC, Hitachi) What could be the problem? Thanks.

My wife and I are moving to Boston from overseas (we’re from Italy and we’ve recently won the diversity visa green card lottery).

We are looking to rent a 1BR starting in January, ideally for ~$3k/month. I’ll be working in the downtown area.

Do you recommend we go for a serviced/luxury apartment (e.g. Montaje, 345 Harrison, etc.) or hire a broker to get a “normal” apartment?

Any managed buildings recommendations within our budget? Also, what are some good brokers we could work with?

Thanks!
