I hate that I ever ended up in this position, but I was extremely poor and still am. I didn't and still don't have the privilege to just pick up or quit any job. But during 2020 I made a huge mistake, I started working at this hospital. My MIL was already working here and I was doing the 11pm-7am shift so I figured it would be easy. Then I found out from her that there's only 5 people in total on staff for this shift and there's no manager or supervisor at all for the entire night The first day was really hard and hectic, I was just slapped onto the floor and made to follow another worker around to “learn the ropes” which is always a really bad sign when that's what a department/company considers the entirety of their “training.” About a month into working there we get…

Some background, I work for a mining company in Australia, I signed on to become a carpenter with them for a minimum of six years once I'm qualified, in exchange they pay me a decent wage (far better than a regular apprentice), but to become fully qualified there isn't a chance to do most of the tasks I require to get my accreditation on the mine sites, so myself as well as the 11 others on my intake were sent to Sydney to work for qualified builders to gain the required experience. Overall the builder I'm apprenticing for isn't too bad, but the other day we were discussing the commute, my trip is 38km (about 24 miles) each way.
