No one wants to wait an hour in traffic to work somewhere when it can be from home. It's enough motivation that I quit my job and now only wfh, I have no interest in going to an office unless I want to. It's really rich for someone to push us to an office when they don't have to wait for traffic or pay for gas, fuck it take the chopper. That said I hope to god he gets primaried so I don't have to vote for him again cuz the other side ain't gonna do better.

Hey y'all hey, I'm the juggler who posted a clip from a convo I had recently with an agent trying to book me below my rate. It got way more responses than I expected, and there's no way I can answer all the comments, so I'm doing a little update to give some answers to the common questions that came up. First, thank's to everyone who gave positive and supportive comments. I really appreciate the solidarity and encouragement! Okay, a little context about this particular agent, and why my response went so quickly on the offensive. I've never worked with this lady, but a few months ago she tried to book my housemates, who are also circus performers. She pulled a very similar move on them, but was much more persistent in her attempt to get them to take a lower rate. I overheard a lot of those conversations, and…

Hi everyone, I am a very laid back person. My mum and girlfriend say that nothing really bothers me. For the most part this is true, apart from one thing. I absolutely hate making mistakes at work. When I make a mistake at work this massive sense of self loathing comes over me. I tell myself I’m useless , pathetic. Even suicidal thoughts go through my head. My work don’t really seem to mind and they’re even putting me on a course to become manager but whenever we have a big project they give us really tight deadlines with so much work. I rush through the work and then make a mistake and then I spiral. Once I get in this state I can barely think, I just get so stressed. I try and tell myself it’s okay but it just takes over my body. Does anyone else have anything…

I come from a family of workers. My great grandpa was a floor salesman who worked his way up to the VP of the sport company he worked for. He was outspoken about working with athletes of color for sponsorship deals and once threw Hank Aaron a surprise birthday party. When I was a kid, he would tell me all about his exploits as a relatively high up employee in the org. He also taught me some simple rules. 1) Always be nice to the secretary and the janitor, they're the ones that actually run the show. Know their names and treat them with respect. 2) Make sure that everyone on your team is paid well enough to support themselves and their family. If they're not, they're going to look for another place to work. 3) You're never too important to be kind. If you're mean to the waiter, or…

I have a super crappy job that I am considering venting about but I need the money from it so bad that I fear retaliation if I say anything anywhere online. I guess when you get to the point you are going to walk out, you don't give a $hit any more.

I had an interview on Monday, that's now 2 days ago and I feel like a train wreck. If things weren't already bad enough… Being that frank to someone you don't know really takes balls. But is it wrong? Impolite? Am I just unfortunate for the experience? It definitely lessens the blow when all you ever normally get is a form response by email. They all look the same, but they don't have the sting of being directly rejected. Been out of work since I got canned over 4 months ago. It just sucks.

I'm switching companies within the same career path. More money, a better position, better company, etc. I have 8 days of sick time and I will not get cashed out on upon leaving. I can only use these days if I call off my shift. These days are separate from my vacation days. I will be putting my two weeks in on the 21st. My question for the r/askmen is would it be appropriate for me to take all of my sick time off in the coming two weeks leading up to my last day?What would you do? What did you do?
