Very good research. I really appreciate these types of videos.

@Christopher Huber I make videos on them and no one watches. This is further indicated to me by this comment. I make these videos and people say I’m negative but everyone watches. However, I’ll keep doing vids on good ones, as they come. The good companies aren’t the ones usually on a list praising how good they are. They lay low and are usually smaller. Ill be on the lookout, and try to make them more clickable. Thanks

@Christopher Huber Not me. I dig it. There reason why there are negative comments is that PEOPLE ARE FRUSTRATED, ANGRY AND HOPELESS. Joshua lets us VENT vicariously. He's like a Jimmy Dore but for the labour industry. There are very few outlets for this type of thing and this is why people let it all hang out. So...if you don't like this shit, kindly FUCK OFF and don't complain about a service that is frankly cathartic, enlightening and spiritual for many of us. Terrible that you think you are better than us. Sure makes you look like an asshole.

@Christopher Huber I was wondering if you knew of any such good company. It seems a bit naive to think anywhere there is a concentration of money & resources there's also not people being the worst versions of themselves. Money amplifies character. A good company is an exception rather than the rule. Maybe that's the reason there are so few videos relating the companies being all around fantastic. I remember one such that Josh put out where the employer rewarded their employee with $10- or $20,000. The relative few of us who did watch all went to the LinkedIn post and gave the praise they deserved. But you go ahead and scan LinkedIn and give us a bunch of examples like this that Josh can put the spotlight on...I'll wait. Some people realize that the channel serves mostly as a warning and a red flag detector so you can avoid the bad while seeking out the good companies that do fly under the radar. They're usually small and don't hand out gold stars to get lame recognition.

@Christopher Huber Here we go. Listen, snowflake, how about you just go to another channel? Then you can be happy with your "positivity" and everyone here will be happy that you and your tender sensibilities have moved on. Cheers and happy Friday. 🥂

Agreed, small businesses maybe - since most of those are family owned and operated anyway. But Corporations doing so is just another part of their long list of cultural appropriations to make themselves feel better about not being good at their job in the first place.

You don't fire your family

Real family would cut their own pay and feel the pain until they are through the pain. Now what do you think?

I hate when they call themselves "leadership". If ya'll were truly leaders, wouldn't be in the mess you're in....

Huge corporations can never be like family. Its different when you work in a small company with like 7 people total like i do, we all know eachother and help eachother because business depends on it. We have eachother backs and dont talk BS behind our backs. I did work at a very large company before and the bosses above us didnt even know our names so you could hardly call that family, theyd fire you without even a blink on their eyes and you wont even get to know the real reason, or even get a heads up long time before being fired that business is slowing down or whatever. In large corps you are just a number on a piece of paper, never believe anything different thats just delusional.

Very true, but it's also good to apply for jobs when you don't need one (meaning you already have a job) as surveys have shown that the pay is substantially more for job applicants that already have a job and they are far more likely to get hired. I used to think that wasn't the case because if you needed an employee, why wouldn't go after the one that you can pay less and get started right away? Boy was I wrong and when I started to use that I got better jobs at substantially better pay. Josh makes a brilliant point about companies that say they are growing rapidly as being a red flag. I never thought about it that way, but when I look back at the jobs I've taken from these 'rapidly growing companies' only to see then a few years later have massive layoffs. Regardless of the company being reckless or not, expansion is one of the most difficult things for any company to successfully execute and often leads companies to their downfall. Odds are they will bungle something along the way and the new employees will take the brunt of it. As far as Carvana's severance goes...it's a pretty good deal in comparison to other companies that I've worked for. Normally it's been 1 week for every year worked and often times your insurance only lasts throughout the end of the month. The last company I worked for (got furloughed for COVID-19 and then let go) they had the same deal although they kept us on our insurance through the furlough (6 months) and then an extra 3 months when they let us go.

@@Richie3Jack I have to take your advice

@@Richie3Jack Yup. I try to have a job 1 Fulltime & job 2 Parttime (Either incase off) or If 1st one fails. I Save a lot, But Covid-19 have made so many Companies die & Savings Is Real Hard When *Not everyone* Can work. Been looking for a Work 24/7 Since 2020 - It's 2022 Now; Still haven't found any.

Yep and it puts you in a position when you can safely browse for top offer and not desperately take anything just because you need the damn paycheck asap

@@patmarek1222 I say keep aggressively applying until you pass the 90 day probationary period (which is kind of stupid since most states are at-will). As Josh mentioned in that previous short it takes weeks or even months for employers to respond and by then you can tell if your current employer is worth staying past the probation period. If you like your job and you pass the 90 days you can scale back a bit because aggressivly applying for jobs can be time consuming and there's more to life than work. But don't completely stop.

What a shock management cares about meager profit over integrity for customer loyalty. That’s alright, hope you got something better man.

it's always like that. when the measure of quality is anything else than quality itself, quality suffers and people suffer with it

typical micromanagement the only want numbers from customer service reps, metrics are the only thing that matters. seeing it happen to our service desk, no one is troubleshooting anymore, no one is documenting properly since i left, everyone is just sending to another team with barely any info, its all tickets saying "the thing dont work, sending to networking to fix the thing" when half the issues they send to use can be fixed in the service desk by password resets or informing the user their manager needs to submit an access form. but nope they need to get calls done quick so they dont think no more and just pass it onto other teams.

@@jjjacer That’s why repeat business is so overlooked and undervalued. Shitty service = losing customers. Plus it seems like so many of these big corps never heard of “word of mouth”. You can make as many calls as you want but if everyone keeps getting told your product is garbage and your service sucks then have fun making more sales.

Something something, when metrics become the target, somethig something, management thinks they know all the numbers necessary, they don't

Have you talked to a lawyer? Depending on the laws in your state and the terms of your contract, you might be able to sue for damages and promissory estoppel.

Generally, you should not quit your current job until you have a confirmed start date and ideally, you have already completed payroll and onboarding paperwork for the new company. Ideally, you take your unused vacation with our current company, use that time (and money) to bridge the gap before your first check at your new company. If you can switch or modify your hours. Most companies are smart enough to know that vacation requests out of the blue, especially for the full remainder of your entitlement, probably means you intend to quit. Second, while it's customary, you are not required to give notice unless that is part of your contract (if you have a contract). Although I wouldn't advise this because even though you may not list them as a reference they can contact, they can still be contacted anyways.

That's messed up.

and then they get mad at you when you accept an offer but change your mind a few days before start date 😂

Young people please don't start a family or get pregnant at this time. Companies/Government/organizations have no loyalty to employees they will turn on you in a second when its convenient and fire/replace you. Governments are also increasing authoritarianism while helping the Globalist elites to consolidate all wealth/power. To ensure no slavery like life, girls should remember to take the birth control pill daily and both guy/girl should use protection and consider Tubal Ligation which is a quick procedure. You will just condemn your new child to increasing poverty and freedomless slavery and these control/money/job trends worsen. The system in all countries ks getting worse now and children born now will suffer. Imagine your child living in a technically advanced meaning more brutal total surveillance Communist or dictatorship style society as that is the planned future if you choose to have kids. So by having children you are purposely causing them to be born to a life of suffering for your own selfishness in a way.

Nepotism in business is a recipe for DISASTER.

Just shows that they saw employees as assets, numbers, something to discard in order to get what they really wanted

That’s why they did it then.

@@qwerty_artist and employees just see a company as a way to get what they want. Welcome to life.

@@qwerty_artist Employees are not assets.

Expendable assets

That 150 point inspection, what a joke.

but tech! disrupt! growth!

That would get us arrested... Insane.

Agreed. Corporations have forgotten the working class is what made them what they are

In your "experience"? You've rubbed elbows with executives, have you? To say that they're overpaid is one thing, but to ask if they bring any value is quite another. Be reasonable.

@@matthewrutters6842 do you truly believe the value most CEOs bring, can't be found among others? As if they are some sort of gods that require millions in salary or stocks. I'm sure it's difficult, but the very sort of deification you are proposing is exactly why they are overpaid.

@@matthewrutters6842 Seems like he hit a nerve. Tough to get called out

Do you think Elon Musk just happens to hire the greatest employees in the auto industry? The success of any company is based solely on the leader and whether they can pass down the motivation. Workers are just workers, some are lazy some are great.

I cannot imagine buying a car that way. Seems way more stressful to me.

Selling to carvana seems OK. They are willing to overpay lol.

@@genestone4951 Not anymore, they're getting consumer complaints where they're quoted one price and when the tow truck comes the check is sometimes thousands less. The excuse is "the computer made a mistake"

@@meliss9536 was actually less stressful than going to a dealership and dealing with car salesmen. Gave me an average of $3500 more for my old car than any other place was willing to give me.

@@Jose-pf7id That is exactly why they are suffering now. Overpaid to build up huge inventory that now have to sell at a loss.

"Jimmie needs a new $50k front wing, so unfortunately we'll have to let you go"

@@coryebeling535 😳what the ....

Exactly, after 10 years in any company regardless of what you do, you become a major liability to the company, you're topped out on pay, your health maybe waining ( their thinking your going to cost us to much in medical costs ) your topped out on vacation and personal time etc. They are going to squeeze you out the door, or find a way to fire you

yeah, companies were very nice until the boomers came in. Boomers came in, being greedy, and decided, lets take advantage of all the employees by still calling them family but prevent wage increases, cut their benefits and pensions.

I mostly only spend 6 months at a job

One day sooner or later a labor/socialist/communist revolution will happen here in the US, because of how disconnected companies have become with the fabric of society over the years. I'm pro capitalism, but unfortunately the US has taken the path of self destruction.

I worked at an office and never gave a shot because I knew the company didn't care. Doing desktop support I was able to see everyone's desk and meet people and some people act like if they kiss the ass of the big company their job is safe - quite the contrary. It was so awkward seeing the people to proudly totes the company line and proudly displayed all their company crap, even little "thanks" notes that they got for working over a weekend for update pack that up when they got laid off.

family, culture, community, etc.

@@0x007A Add to that the stupid PC terms Equity, Equality, Ethnicity, etc. We are all Human Beings, stop asking for my race, gender, etc..during applications. Stop telling me that the company believes in Equity or Equality or any other bull crap. Just interview me, if I pass the interview, tell me what I need to do, pay me my f*cking salary, and leave me the f*ck alone afterwards. I give no shits about "we are a family" or "let's have a social meet up with your corporate family". It's all garbage HR non-sense, and a huge waste of time. I have my own Family and Friends outside of work, it is more than enough for me.

it would be nice if corruption didnt exist in reality corpos using "family" is a useful warning

Yeah cause my family tosses me out when they don't need someone right now.

when did gender, ethnicity, and political preference REPLACE skillset? I am with MLK, look at the character of a person, not their reproductive organs, DNA/family tree, or what they are doing with their mate in their off time, or who they support in DC, as criteria for employment. NONE of that produces anything MARKETABLE, so get over that CRAP. What built this country was folks MAKING stuff that was superior in the marketplace.

Family, but like in sicilian mafia. Sometimes they need to kill someone from the family...

"we are family and you are now cast out of this family. We, your family disown you. You can never come home again"

Guess they're more like Josh's family

Same

Just the opposite for me. CarMax offered me half of what carvana did

Yesssss... THIS^^^^^^^ Josh - Please TALK about this. I've been hearing about Carvana not transferring ownership of the cars. So crazy.

Carvana, WeWork, Casper all these companies are just middlemen and not really "tech" companies. They exist as a front, to "grow" the company real fast through stock pumping and eventual dumping. No different than the whole crypto space and shitcoins that have no literal chance of mass adoption. I worked for a software integration a few years ago and they tried to gas up 'blockchain technology" for managing contracts and transactions. They learned it's all bs and easier to make money by gaslighting morons to buy up shares and help them with the pump and dump. It's all just massive legalized ponzi schemes and the people who had the means to start these companies, are the ones benefitting from selling off their shares like the Garcia II dude in this video. And it's always the people middle management down, that get wrecked. Something needs to big needs to happen in this country again to stop all this nonsense.

Just today, carvana loses its license to sell cars in Illinois! This is just the start!

What industry

bullet dodged, like neo in the matrix.

Great episode! Lol

Hewlett what. Must be a small company lol.

A lot of large companies have policies similar to that. I think it has to do with the concern that former employee can influence the existing or new employees about the true nature of the company 🤷🏽‍♂️

I'm not sure if that was ever explained to me when I was let go back in 2010. I did work on their Enterprise Service side for the Sun Microsystems until Oracle bought Sun and kicked us to the curb, after telling us "how great we were." That sucks, it was genuinely a descent place to work at. They definitely followed the WARN act though, got told we would be let go close to the end of the year, wound up being 9 months later. I work in government now, so water under the bridge, but f*$k Oracle.

@@JoshuaFluke1 I did put lol.

@@australian1018 HP. The company that makes computers and shit.

I really really appreciate this. I'm still closing tabs.

@@JoshuaFluke1 the life of the INTP. Too many tabs that sit around for... Well... Ever.

You think that's bad? Look at LUNAterra. Down 98%, and I bought $2 worth, and THAT went down another 91% and I'm just laughing.

No, we didn't get to keep our stocks. They took them back and supposedly added the value to our severance

Same in the UK, I was let go of a company a few years ago after 10 years service, my contract would have been 20 weeks in the end I negotiated 30 weeks. The best part was I had already been offered another job and I was going to quit anyway 😂

Ooooooof

That law isn't a thing here in AZ, so I'm not sure what you've mentioned.

@@PWN_Nation the WARN act is national, not a state wide thing, although California has a more extended version. I’d suspect AZ does also fall into it as well.

@@JoshuaFluke1 thanks! Time for more research...

Big corpo claims there's a labor shortage and yet they're firing people. What gives?

Layoffs get news, hiring sprees do not. No company is going to great headlines announcing "We just hired thousands of people this year!"

@@NomastiAfricanWarlord that's probably because there arent that many companies doing that based on what I hear from people searching for jobs today.

stocks are doing really bad right now and there are rumors that a recession will be starting soon. yikes.

@@J-wm4ss Starting? We've been in one a while. Plus there are econ bubbles popping, like crypto.

Basically

Bought one last year, so far so good!

That’s it???

being let go after 28 years really sucks. you will struggle to find another job and you are gonna be so close to retirement age.

Bro she shoulda got at least 2 years of severance for nearly 30 years of service. Had she talked to an employment lawyer, they would've settled for more.

Your wife deserved more than 34 weeks in total. She deserved at least a year to 2 years severance pay. 28 years of your life at a company is no joke. Hopefully going forward she will understand what she can command in the job market and demand more.

That's a damn fact
