Most job responses I get is they're not hiring anymore due to restructuring. Aka they just go for pure profit increase while overworking the understaffed employees. No more remote interviews either. Tons of requests to do one sided video interviews. And the pays appear lower than they were during the main pandemic, even though all prices have gone up since. I've no clue how I'll find a job, yet alone one which will cover my expenses just to exist. And the employers catch on and push abusive shit. My current job has unpaid overtime. I'm leaving, but I've no clue what fate holds.

Adding onto this, these are just the US federal requirements. Different states, particularly California, restrict that even further.

ETA: Many other countries have stronger worker protections than the US. They also have the same levels of greed, and sometimes the same level of abuse. Don't assume it's legal just because they put it on paper; research your area's employment laws.
