Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

The "nobody wants to work" myth businesses float around just about every year. It turns out the reality is people don't want to work for shit wages.
Here's a fun history of their whinging: https://thunderdungeon.com/2024/07/14/nobody-wants-to-work-anymore/
Companies also used it in the wake of the pandemic to justify running skeleton crews. Why hire more workers, when you can just give more work to your existing workers for no extra pay? If they complain, just fire a few of the loudest ones to make a point and keep the rest in line.
Really appreciated all the return to work mandates in spite of all evidence that it was better for workers' lives. I ha e to provide a business reason for just about anything, yet there is no reasoning even attempted when the choice is between worker well being and company dominance of the will.
Rent goes up while wages don’t and nepotism is more valuable than competence.
“No one wants to work” fuck off, no one wants to trudge, plenty of people have drive to get shit done absent the Damocles sword of capitalism.
Job listings are far less likely to be fake if they are posted on the companies own website. They can outsource deceptive shit to LinkedIn and all those shitty websites because they cover liability and fraud for them.
Some companies even have you send resumes directly to a hiring managers real email, shockingly. Anyways thats all to say that you might have better luck applying directly.
