I’ve heard of people getting VOIP numbers but not sure how this works.
I tried to get an extra number to forward, but those sites ask you to agree to the same privacy violations. I’m so pissed.
What can we do to recieve phone calls for jobs without signing up for endless spam?
I really wanted to get a union spot as a mail carrier but when I applied they wanted a selective service number which I don’t have (based younger me never did that) and they also wanted medical records and a copy of my lease n shit and my living situation is awesome but I don’t exactly have a lease and yeah…
So I’m still a cook. I so love the food tho, and hey at least Toast © has all my info I’m sure this private company has all my data safe& sound, unlike DRM that had a data breach with my info even tho I only worked for their company for like 4 days! I have so much trust in these companies! :D
That’s ridiculous. Did they even make you a job offer, or were they expecting copies of medical records and leases from everyone who applied?
No but it was posted publicly so I think that technically legally means it’s fair enough. I believe the latter is correct, you can’t finish the application without renters history or medical records, I think the selective service one was technically optional i.e you could finish without entering it but ya. One of the main & probably the largest federal mail carrier, if I’m not allowed to say which company I don’t know
Asking for medical records would get you sued in the US.

That’s just what I remember from applying, and this page seems to have the reasoning why. The wording even here is very unnecessarily complicated to me tbh and the application was also unnecessarily complicated and demanding, no idea why they’d need to see my lease as well, giant companies can do anything they want. What, am I gonna sue USPS?
They can get med info if needed for the job. I’ve had to do it for very specific functions. Since driving mail around is demanding and important, I could see why they might need to know if you are about to have a heart attack or if you have serious mental health issues.
Yeah I get it to some degree I was just a little disappointed and I didn’t expect them to need so much information before I was even offered a job. It’s no wonder they are short staffed.
