I recently had a phone interview with a company called Progress Delivery for a quality inspector position that I supposedly applied for through Indeed. During the call, the recruiter asked me some basic questions and then sent me an 'employment contract' to sign. They claimed the job involved receiving packages at home, inspecting them, and then printing shipping labels to take to the post office, FedEx, or UPS. The pay sounded incredible at $5,000 a month, but something felt off. After doing some research, I discovered that Progress Delivery is a fake logistics company and that I never applied for a job with them on Indeed. I'm unsure of how to proceed and what steps I should take to report this scam.

I've been working in various warehouses for the past 15 years, and I'm really looking to transition into an office career that feels secure from AI takeover. I've considered roles like data analyst or software developer, but with the current wave of layoffs in those fields, I'm feeling uncertain. I'm curious about which white-collar jobs might remain safe from automation. A comment I saw mentioned that senior management positions could be less affected, but that seems ironic since they often appear to be the most replaceable. It seems like getting to that level might require connections, which I don't have. I'm eager to hear thoughts from others who have navigated this transition.

I currently work at a warehouse where I'm physically overworked, and it's taking a toll on my health. My role involves loading trucks by hand, often lifting boxes that weigh around 80 pounds. Unfortunately, the company has been cutting back on staff, so I'm frequently left to handle the workload of two or three people. This has become increasingly difficult as the demand for orders rises while the number of employees decreases. My boss is not supportive at all; she tends to ignore me and is unapproachable when I try to make suggestions to improve my work conditions. She micromanages me but doesn't do the same with my colleagues, which feels really unfair. I've lost a significant amount of weight, going from 315 pounds to 250 pounds, but I wake up sore every day. Despite having over 15 years of warehouse experience, I've been struggling to find other types of work. I've applied for positions in sales, customer service, and office roles, emphasizing my transferable skills, but I keep getting rejected. My coworkers often belittle me and make fun of my pace, which is slow due to exhaustion and soreness. I know I can't stay in this job much longer, as it's affecting my well-being and financial situation. I earn $19 an hour, which isn't enough to cover my bills while living alone. I'm considering whether to look for another warehouse job on a different shift while going back to school or to keep trying for jobs outside of warehouse work. I need to make a change, but I'm unsure of the best path forward.
