Month: March 2022

So this is a long post and a bit venty but thought this would be an appropriate place for this. TLDR: In new job for 2 months and have a mental health breakdown personally due to some family issues. Works paid for therapist suggested asking for support in my work as to help me with my mental health issues from resultant family issues. Rang me next day after me asking for support saying they can't support me and fired me instead. But then rescinded the firing to ask me to quit or take a 12k pay cut. I took a job at a new company a senior role in my field. Similar role to one I had just left and in an area I was extremely experienced with over my last 3 roles, 12 years. Took a pay cut for a period of 3 months which would bump up to…

Hello all. I started a new job in January and the staff have constantly belittled me and made me feel really small – with some putting down my achievements and saying I shouldn't bother applying for other jobs. The communication between me and my manager has been awful (I've had to hunt her down in the office just to get a reply to an email) with none of my access to IT stuff being sorted until the 3rd week. I cracked about a week ago and my mental health shattered and now I'm in such a severe depression I'm so desperate. The doctor upped my meds and has written me a fit note. I told my manager I'd be in next week but I'm honestly still bed ridden with anxiety and thoughts of self-harm/suicide and self-neglect. Should I just put in fit notes until they fire me? I have no…

Anyone wanna help me? I woke up this morning and thought I could really use another day off. I've rarely ever asked off and quite honestly I dont know how to. Sad, yes?

I work for a state agency in a niche IT position. Fridays are extremely slow so I requested to WFH this day. Not uncommon in my agency as there are a lot of people who WFH full time. Most IT folks get one day to WFH so I chose Fridays. When I’m in the office M-Th I’m usually busy enough. Because it’s so slow today, I: – Slept in – Ran a errand – Worked Out – Did the dishes – Started on some laundry – Got some grad school work done – Took my dog for a walk – Took my time making/eating lunch – Took a nap – Made this post on Reddit Between all this, I’ll walk over to my work laptop on the dining room table, see all the emails that aren’t there, and get back to whatever I feel like doing I don’t clock in…

So, first post here. Been following the sub for a while and honestly, I’m not sure if this even belongs here as I am both semi-venting but also not really sure if there’s anything I can do about this. So, I currently work in retail, in a large grocery chain as a clerk running the fuel station. I have been working there for a while now and am doing decently out there, low volume, decent hours. Standing all day is a pain but I am able to get at least 15 min of sitting or more depending when shifts are switched. Now, as for inside the store: people have been quitting by the herds. We’re losing cashiers, department leads, assistant managers, all because of management and corporate breathing down on everybody’s necks over the most basic and mundane things that NO customer would reasonably notice, even if they bothered to…

ok so i’ve been at my job 3 years, it’s corporate, I dislike it and have been looking for a push to leave. I found out about a week ago my work is closing at the end of the month and they are planning on firing me or relocating. I do not want to relocate, but if they offer and I deny it is it possible to collect unemployment still? I have another job in the works so ideally id like to be let go but am worried that if I turn down the relocating offer that might interfere with eligibility. any advice would be super helpful!

Some companies argue that if they give their staff a generous raise, that would increase the costs of their end product to society. It is very hard to take this statement without seeing what is in disguise. The real end product of every company is MONEY. The more they secure of it the better the ship, jet, or vacation (Tahiti or Maldives) they can buy.
