A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Our Philosophies:

All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.

Our Goals

Higher wages for underpaid workers.
Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
Better and fewer working hours.
Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

Career advice: should I give this interviewer a second chance? (lemmy.world)

Yesterday I had an interview for a certain position. Last Monday it had been scheduled for one location but on Friday it got moved to another. At the last minute yesterday, apparently it had gotten switched to the original interview location, and I was not notified until I got to that second location and waited a few minutes. I found out because I called him, in front of the building manager, and one of his associates picked up and told me about the mixup and apologized. The building managers from either location did not know of any interviews scheduled by this interviewer. I called the interviewer again and he profusely apologized and said that he would collaborate again soon for another interview date.

If you were me, would you trust him for scheduling another interview? Would you still want the position?

Unless this job is of personal significance for you (meaning it has the ability to advance your career in a significant way) then I would start shopping around again. But that's just me.

It's a step in the right direction for me.

Then go for it. It could just be a mistake. It might be a sign they’re disorganized and not as professional as you want.
