Lets turn posting into praxis. Like, I can’t even interview anymore legitimately. I freeze up at the at the most basic interview question. My career has suffered because of it. All my supervisors say I take to the job well, and do what’s asked of me though. I shouldn’t have to deal with this, especially when I’m supposedly the model employee in every job I do.

I got my last 2 jobs through luck (finding the only jobs that wouldn’t interview). My current job is something that most working class people wouldn’t take. I could be homeless right now.

My outlook is pretty bleak right now, and my degree is near useless.

Can we get a subchapo for jobs and career advice? The DSA is starting to shift into something similar. I think this is especially important to give the left something decent during the pandemic. This sub can focus on both local and remote stuff, hopefully with a focus on worker co-ops.

The Subchapo title isn’t important, pick something that fits better if it doesn’t pop.

Straight up IDK if jobs even contact references, but it would be nice to have a database like that. As someone who is gangstalked, I’ll take random people over my previous references

This is a good idea, so many of us have to leave jobs over horrible dehumanizing things and can’t count on anyone we worked under as references. I’ll lie for my comrades every damn day.

My only problem with this proposed community is preventing this from going full Capitalist. Like, what I’m doing right now is fine because I’m desperate. I do want this to come from a left perspective though.

Up to you bud. I clearly don’t know what I’m doing, otherwise I’d spearhead this.

Ok so for urine tests, it’s actually pretty simple to beat the test. I’ve used Stat Flush with success to get my current job (after 11 days without smoking; you need to go at least 48 hours to use this method). The key is simply diluting the urine by drinking lots of water and taking supplements to make it look undiluted. (Stat Flush is basically just a few supplements along with instructions to drink a certain amount of water within a certain amount of time before the test.) Basically you want to drink 32 to 64 fluid ounces of water and take creatine and vitamin b (I think it’s b6 but I’m not sure) within 6 hours of test time. The creatine makes the urine look undiluted and the vitamin b makes the urine yellow rather than clear. Meanwhile the water dilutes the THC metabolite below the threshold of 50 ng/mL. Stat Flush is fairly expensive (was $60 IIRC) so if you can find the info on what the supplements contain you can do it yourself much cheaper. Either way, don’t let drug tests stand in between you and a better job.

IDK what to tell you beyond stop smoking for a month. Stopping anything sucks, I’ve been struggling with Alcoholism for awhile now. I’m lucky it isn’t tested for.
