It is 2026 and we're still doing this!

It is seriously 2026 ffs and this still happens. I can never understand how does somebody already know they're going to get sick so they can apply for it early. Also do they really guarantee they're going to approve that leave. These are the same people who post those job postings everywhere on linkedin, jobcat and glassdoor asking for 10 years experience for a minimum wage.

What are the best online, free ways to earn money without a job?

So so far ive made the most with prolific, and i tried to get setup for amazon turk but got rejected. Im using honey gain but im earning 20-40 cents for every 24 hours pretty much. Ive also sighned up for a crazy amount of survey sites but there nothing like prolific.

are there any good ways to earn from home/online by chance that i haven't already tried? and what's you experience with said suggestion.

"Just get a degree from a good school, they said. You'll be set for life, they said." - What a load of bullshit.

Honestly, what a fucking joke.

Look, I'm not claiming to be some programming wizard, but I busted my ass in school and got solid grades. The only thing I'm really missing is professional experience.

I can pick up new concepts in a heartbeat, and I have a master's in computer science from a pretty decent university. You'd think that would count for something. Lmao.

I'm about to be 26, working a dead-end job that pays barely more than minimum wage with a boss who is a complete asshole.

I haven't been able to save a single dime. I don't have family I can just crash with, so I'm stuck working this soul-crushing full-time job. It leaves me with zero energy to work on my portfolio or even send out resumes.

This whole situation is such a damn joke. I was smart, I did everything I was supposed to, and now I'm here, struggling to just keep my head above water.

It's just so draining and, honestly, a bit soul-crushing.

Anyway, just needed to scream into the void. Don't mind me. LOL.

I sort of saw this coming. The AI taking over jobs and thinking all along AI was the beginning of the end. This seems worse than I thought.

So on a guess, I don't think this is a good thing. Less hours? So will we be paid more, the same, or less with these reduced hours? How are people going to survive under these conditions? Even if the pay stays the same? Not all the details are here but i find it difficult to believe this is a positive for the employees. I want to be wrong, but my gut says I am not. Thoughts? How do you even prepare for this?

As a consumer, I don't want to talk with a machine or a person that I cant understand due to thick accent.

What this may mean is some people may not do business with companies that cause financial harm or instability to their employees. Because its wrong.

Working from home has completely ruined the idea of working in an office for me again

I seriously can't understand how anyone who has tried working from home could willingly go back to commuting and the hassle of transportation.
I mean, I just made a cup of coffee exactly how I like it, cleared my inbox while sitting in my shorts, and walked my dog during my lunch break. I've already gotten more work done today than I used to get done by noon at the office, with all that noise and eye-straining lighting.
And the thing that's driving me crazy is that my productivity has gotten so much better. I sleep an extra hour every day, eat clean home cooked food, and my commute is exactly 15 seconds long. The only problem is that my dog thinks my Zoom calls are his cue to start barking at anything that moves.
Look, I know it's not all rosy. The back to back video calls can be draining, and honestly, sometimes I have to remind myself how to have a normal conversation with human beings and not just my dog. But for me, it's 99% worth it.
Seriously, who else here is like me, completely spoiled and has lost all ability to tolerate the idea of a traditional office job ever again?

What’s the most petty, annoying "digital chore" you have to do every day?

I’m sitting here realizing I spend like 20% of my day just moving files, renaming folders, and copy-pasting the same info between three different browser tabs. It’s not "hard" work, it’s just mind-numbing robotic shit that drains my soul by 2 PM.

What’s that one task for you? The thing that isn't part of your "actual" job but takes up way too much of your time and makes you want to throw your laptop out the window?

What really is the role of an Administrative Assistant?

This seems a bit "???" of a question but the company I am in (10 months in) has employed me as an administrative assistant but currently I have around two more roles labelled as the "duties" of an admin assistant. Namely billing and disbursement. On top of that, I do email and answering calls/queries.

So let me ask, what is my role supposed to really do?

I went from freelancer to being this close to homelessness. Clients keep ghosting me. Is this the new norm?

Hi my husband lost his job and we both went into freelancing because jobs seems to be difficult to find these days

We are this close to losing everything

I went from regularly having small client work to nothing

We offer clients digital marketing services but ever since last year we've been ghosted

500+ people communicated with us, we also have had meetings, just last week 2 social media management clients showed interest then ghosted me

Is this the new norm? Its so painful to want to do honest work and yet nobody would even give us a chance not even for $300 just $0

Life has been so hard we are losing everything selling all our valuables to make ends meet

Not because we are lazy but because it seems to be that clients are nowhere to be found

Anybody else struggling due to being ghosted and flaky clients?

How can I find entry-level remote jobs with no experience in 2025?

Hey everyone,

I’m based in the US and really want to find a part-time, work-from-home job that doesn’t require any prior experience or a degree. Every listing I’ve seen on LinkedIn and Indeed seems to ask for 2+ years of experience or some specific credential I don’t have, and it's frustrating.

I’m tired of stumbling on scam sites. Can anyone give me a legit platform for finding and applying to remote jobs?

I’m open to anything flexible: customer support, data entry, content moderation, virtual assistant work, or even simple typing jobs.

Also, has anyone landed a beginner-friendly remote role recently? Any companies or specific tips would be hugely appreciated too.

Thanks in advance :)

I always feel it's difficult to determine how a person thinks or their way of interacting from an interview. When they start the actual job, over time, we discover things we didn't expect. But the most important thing for me is the absence of cheating during the interview, and I avoid this by using ProtectHire, an effective program at detecting any cheating software the interviewee is using to answer the questions. As a result, the quality of employees has become higher.
