Month: March 2022

So Friday I told my boss that I had finished everything, she has to download some archives so I upload them to the software, she told me that she would download them in a bit, she didn't and now it's Monday and I have nothing else to do, I could remind her that she didn't download them, I could ask her if I can help in something else, but I'm not doing it and I feel bad lol. I don't know how to feel about this, I feel bad but I at the same time I'm thinking that I finished what I was supposed to do which is not much, I'm hired full time but I'm pretty sure I would have everything done the same way if I was hired part time.

Hi all, new here, so hope this post is relevant. I really need some advice. I’m struggling in work at the moment! I keep being blamed for things, that I didn’t do. When they realise it wasn’t my fault, they acknowledge it, but never apologise. I get blamed for making mistakes made on the days I wasn’t even in work! Today I was blamed for something and the person who was to blame, let me take the flack! Then when work realised it wasn’t me, they said nothing to the person who had made the mistake. I really love where I work, but I’m starting to dread going in, as I’m always in trouble for something I haven’t even done. Please help, I do not know how to deal with this.

I noticed on here that candidates are being asked in interviews if they’ve been on food stamps recently. Has anyone turned the tables on the interviewer? If so, how did that go?

To start off, I work for myself. I'm self-employed and I make enough money scheduling myself, but I do worry about income flow. It's never steady and I currently don't have anything put aside for retirement and insurance is hella expensive, not to mention self-employment taxes. So I started looking for a job where I can put my skills to work, with benefits and full-time hours. I was offered a salary that I was a bit unsure of, but accepted. After thinking about the salary over the weekend and doing some budget calculations, I need more. I sent an email today asking for an increase in salary before I've started my job. I read online this is considered unprofessional and can ruin my reputation. But guess what? I normally work for myself anyway. I don't need a good reputation at this hospital- and they can afford a salary increase anyway.…

I hate my job. My boss doesn’t listen or care about any concerns that the employees have. She just sends self help bullshit and thinks we’re just being negative. I started looking for work which is stressful enough without having to deal with all the bullshit I’ve been going through at my current job. We were laying in bed last night & my wife looked at me earnestly & said that if I was going to kill myself to just quit instead. We have a son, a house payment, & her student loans so we need the two incomes. I was blown away by this. I’m not suicidal but my wife thinks I am because of how miserable I am.

Last year I was enrolled as a graduate student in social work. It was a relatively expensive program but I was really excited to become a social worker. It was an online version of the same program they had on campus so it seemed like a perfect option during covid times as a lot of on campus programs had went mostly remote. The first semester was fine but I was already getting a feeling that the online version was not a great value. Just kinda seemed second rate and not worth what I was paying. Starting with the second semester we had an internship that would run for the remainder of the six semester program. The internship required about 8-10 hours a week of in person work. This was unpaid. BUT, there was also course work attached to the internship. So every semester I had to pay for classes attached…

A couple months ago I started my first full-time office job, still not even fully finished with college just yet so it felt like an achievement. I picked my task up pretty quick and the numbers showed I was performing well, which felt rewarding at first. But now that I know enough to get by I’m finding there’s no work to do, no projects to pick up… most of my day spent doing absolutely nothing but loafing around the office. So, my mind numbingly bored self started thinking about how the work could be made more efficient, how the process could be smoothed out, and how we could maybe save money down the line. I consulted my outside sources and was encouraged to give this idea a go. So, I did. I spoke to my supervisor. The content I ran by him ended in a referral to speak to someone…
