University drops English literature course ‘because graduates struggle to get highly paid jobs’
A university has suspended its English literature course, after a Government crackdown on perceived "low value" degrees. Sheffield Hallam University said that the core humanities subject is among the courses that will be suspended for the 2023/24 academic year, but did not clarify the reason behind the decision or say how long the suspension would last. Dr Mary Peace, an English literature lecturer at the university, told The Telegraph that staff were informed of the decision five minutes before a departmental away day . She said that she believes the rationale behind the decision was “largely economic”, and suggested that the decision was made over a poor job return for graduates amid expectations of students being in a “highly-skilled” job within six months. “Humanities students either take a long time to get into conventional jobs or never reach the threshold where they have to pay back their loans – particularly those from less privileged social backgrounds,” Dr Peace … [Read more...] about University drops English literature course ‘because graduates struggle to get highly paid jobs’
Woman praised for rejecting job over state’s abortion stance: “Decline”
A Reddit user who revealed their new reason to turn down jobs has been praised online. Shared on the popular r/antiwork forum on Sunday, Reddit user u/SpaceCowboy58 posted a screenshot of a conversation with a potential employer. With more than 10,000 upvotes and hundreds of comments, Reddit users were impressed with what they read. In the screenshot, there was a message reply with the subject head: "Job engineer in Tulsa Oklahoma." The message below read: "Hi [redacted], This job sounds like a perfect fit, however, I refuse to work for a company based in a state that does not support women's reproductive rights." On Friday, the U.S. Supreme Court formally released a ruling that overturned the nearly 50-year-old decision of Roe v. Wade that protected a pregnant woman's right to have an abortion. Researchers have reported that without Roe , abortion will likely become illegal in about half of the country. Twenty-five states are likely to prohibit abortion … [Read more...] about Woman praised for rejecting job over state’s abortion stance: “Decline”
Work longer hours to avoid job centre, benefits claimants to be told
Benefits claimants will have to work longer hours in order to be released from regular job centre visits under a crackdown to be announced by Therese Coffey. In an interview with The Telegraph , the Work and Pensions Secretary suggested benefits rules will initially be overhauled so that anyone working fewer than 12 hours a week will have to attend appointments at job centres and look for more work. Dr Coffey said she wanted to increase the threshold even further in a second stage, which could see the current requirement of nine hours work per week increased by more than 50 per cent. The overhaul is being driven by Dr Coffey and Rishi Sunak, the Chancellor, after the number of people on out-of-work benefits exceeded five million. At the same time, the number of job vacancies in the UK stands at a record 1.3 million. Dr Coffey said the Government was on course to meet a target set in January to get 500,000 claimants into work by the end of June – a milestone hailed by … [Read more...] about Work longer hours to avoid job centre, benefits claimants to be told
Brutally honest job ad is looking for ‘lazy’ staff members who ‘wash’ themselves

From years of experience to shiny degrees and being as flexible as a gymnast being a few stand out features for recruiters. The competition to get a job is often rife and people do their best to stand out to secure the next step in their career.

Seeking potential workers for this role is no lengthy process, as the employers' requests are really not too much to ask for. Printed out on a white piece of paper and stuck on the store window with blue tack, the role advertised is quite brutally honest. A snap of the jokey note was posted to Twitter – and people certainly are not complaining about the seemingly … [Read more...] about Brutally honest job ad is looking for ‘lazy’ staff members who ‘wash’ themselves

Job offers workers over £4,000 a MONTH for working just six hours a day – but no one wants to do it
A JOB is offering employees more than £4,000 a MONTH for working just six hours a day - but no one wants to take it up. An Australian MP has pleaded for fruit pickers to step forward to sort this season's bumper crops amid a critical shortage of workers in the country. MP Anne Webster branded the shortage of staff willing to take up the £4,000-a-month job a "tragedy in the making". Ripe fruit is being left to rot away on the ground due to the lack of workers - and it could cost the country millions. Dr Webster has called for a solution to the "unfolding disaster". She said: "Citrus growers here in Sunraysia are faced with wonderful crops and a healthy export market (despite global shipping constraints), but there is one critical ingredient missing: workers.

People left in stitches at bus driver job ad that reads like dating profile
