So I work at lowes, my department is appliances I make $17 an hour and honestly I don’t get paid enough for what I do. I’m a girl and I’m like 5’2-5’3 and whenever someone buys an appliance it’s my job to go get it for them in the back so I be hauling and pushing big refrigerators and washers and dryers all sorts of stuff and there are times where no one is there to help me so I have to do it all by myself, it’s a lot for my size and I do not have the muscles for what I do and I really feel like I am underpaid for that. Also I am scheduled this week 6 days straight 1pm-10pm every single fucking day. I don’t have time to do shit with these hours. So today I called in and I’m trying so hard not to…

I called off work this morning and got a super passive aggressive response. I’ve never called off, been late, or caused problems. They asked for a doctors note but don’t offer insurance, should I just take the point?

i am so overworked and im on the verge of quitting my job because i can’t handle it, so i decided to talk to my boss about taking hours off my schedule and she said “can you give me few days?” and i said yes sure. That was wednesday today is monday and i haven’t heard a word. i understand there’s literally no one to take my hours but frankly that’s not my problem at all. i tried to work with her but now i don’t know how much longer i can wait.

So I've been off work sick with stress for a while, I'm capable of working from home but work won't allow me to do it because my job allegedly can't be done from home. Despite doing it from home for 18 months through the pandemic and the other 2 people who do the same job as me being allowed to work from home. Due to the amount of time spent at home I lost any tolerance I had built up over the years to the noise hypersensitivity issues I struggle with as part of my autism. We also moved to a new office which has issues with echo's because of bare cement walls and ceilings as well as being poor built so everything creaks in the slightest bit of wind. I've explained all these issues to work multiple times and have essentially been told to get over it. As I…

Does anyone have any advice/insight on working for travel agencies or working as a travel consultant? I am way too stressed out by my current job and believed until recently it was my office environment, but now I am thinking that the field I am currently in is just not right for me. I was looking into some WFH positions and came across a couple travel agent ads and thought about looking into it, but from my basic research and a couple responses to postings I've applied for, I am getting some weird pyramid scheme vibes. Most of the “interviews” I was invited to attend were time-slotted, hour long “Intro Presentations” and several seemingly different companies sent me very similar verbiage on the emails. Wondering if anyone has has any experience/success in the travel arrangement industry? Thanks! 🙂

I hated my job and was so excited to start a new career in customer service at a little company close to my home. This is in Michigan. When I interviewed they asked if I had any skeletons in my closet, and I responded with, “none that I'd like to discuss at this moment.” The interview was almost 2 hours long, the boss really liked me. She wanted me to start immediately, but I said I couldn't. I would have to complete my 2 weeks notice, and wouldn't be able to start for another week or so. They gave me an official offer, which I signed and returned. They set me up with payroll and kept asking me to start immediately. I once again said I'm sorry, I'm incredibly unhappy with my current job but I'm not comfortable just leaving. I wanted to show them, no matter how unhappy I…

I have worked for a non-profit over the last year, and it went from it being a dream job to watching an utter collapse and mass exodus over the last couple of months. It's no longer the great team of colleagues I started with, and I'm honestly wondering if the org might consider closing. I have been applying and interviewing over the last month, so am hoping to jump ship sooner than later, but I'm wondering if there are any protective measures I can take in the meantime if they org does close while I'm job hunting. I have been fortunate enough to build up a decent emergency savings, but what other measures have people taken in this kind of position?

There was a post recently about someone making a chrome extension that would help bypass the hr blockers that the companies set up. Does anyone know where it is?
