Month: March 2022

FYI I an living in Europe. I am at my 3rd job. I (23F) started working in 2020 after I graduated university. It took me some months to find a job and at the end of 2020 (December) I got hired in an editorial company. I was not satisfied by the pay and the company in itself as it was very disorganised (now looking back I was not so stressed and I didn’t have to worry about a lot of things (I only had to do my job, no back-up needed, no meetings, no work to pick up after holidays, etc.). Then in April of 2021 I got the opportunity to work as an intern at a big company and after the training they promoted me. Well, it was a big change and I didn’t feel I belonged there. I developed a different kind of anxiety that I didn’t experience…

Hi there! Posting from yesterday, I found out my employer has been making people clock out at one store and clock in at another, which is illegal since it's still considered travel between workplaces. With head office coming in thursday, I figured I'd take the initiative and ask them about this blatantly illegal policy, and to give me it in written form, both physical and digital copies. My only problem is, what should I do if they refuse for whatever reason?

I don't know the intricacies of the housing market. So, I wanted to get my peers' input on if/how remote work could be impacting housing. Don't throw me into a volcano or anything. I'm genuinely wanting some input on this. I'm wondering if remote work has led to an influx of more wealthy people into smaller cities and towns taking up real estate and inflating rent and property values. Again, just a hypothesis I have and on which would like some feedback. Thoughts?

It was 4 AM when I wrote this. I couldn't sleep. I've been this way before – actually it's all I know. Yet somehow I just can't seem to get past my current problem…I'm unemployed, homeless with two severely disabled children. Yet that's not necessarily true. I'm currently freeloading in the house of my ex husband which used to be mine. I lost it in the divorce and to be honest? I didn't want to win what had become my jail. I knew it was going to be difficult to break free and start over in life but I didn't know it was going to be this bad. I just don't know how to cope with the fact that despite being extremely intelligent, I'm completely worthless and dumb because I prioritized the lives of my children. Right now I may not qualify for a lease in my name as I…

i get incredibly exhausted from school and i have a para to help me and most of my classes are in a special room. but i can’t handle the emotional labor of having to smile and be nice. and the actual labor of my school assignments i don’t know how i could handle a job or college. and my dad is a conservative that when i asked him to help a homeless person said “don’t feed the squirrels” and is pushing me to get a job or go to college the second i’m out of highschool

Fair enough. I’m just going to “reevaluate” how hard I work when in the office 5 days a week. Might need to reevaluate when I watch my shows on Netflix, move that to work hours so when I get home I have time to do laundry and stuff. Gonna reevaluate how much effort I put into my job too because, quite frankly, I work too hard. Lots of “reevaluating” going on.
