Hey guys! I posted on here about 1 year ago when I quit my job with no plan and I wanted to give an update. When I quit, I was looking for some kind of post like this to learn of others experiences. I thought someone might appreciate this if you are going through something similar, I wish you the best of luck. A little backstory: I didn't have a job lined up or any idea of what to do, but I was being taken advantage of and was in a very bad place while working at my previous job both mentally and physically and decided it was time for me to get out after a few years of working there. So I quit. I had enough savings to last me throughout this time from previously working full time since I was 16 (I'm 28) and honestly it's been a…

Essentially, I've been in an entry level accounting role for 6 years. I've excelled at every task thrown at me and constantly asked for more responsibility to no avail. I've earned not only a higher salary but a higher position, but they are just trying to stifle any possible growth. Hiding certain tasks from me, which I assume has to do with not wanting to raise my salary. I'm quite underpaid and cost of living in South Florida has grown astronomically. What finally pushed me out the door was them hiring someone else to supervise me… Someone with no experience in our industry. So I started looking for a job. Now I'm going to be an accounting manager with a 20% pay increase. My boss has been nothing but an asshole to me for so long, when I expressed my dissatisfaction with their hiring decision, they've been basically licking my…

If a worker steals something from her employer, she is fired, arrested and jailed. The state will prosecute for the employer, and if she is convicted she faces expensive jail time paid for by taxpayers. Because she stole. If an employer steals from all its workers, it might have to pay something if the workers can afford to sue. The employer faces no jail time. Because it was a civil affair. “In its majestic equality, the law forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, beg in the streets and steal loaves of bread.” Anatole France

Nothing's gonna gonna change if people keep accepting bad work conditions for extremely low wages, if anything employers and companies will get even greedier and more exploitative. I'd rather be lazy and poor than work at a factory, where the work conditions suck and you're expected to work 12 hours shift doing soulsucking, meaningless work until you come home mentally and physically destroyed and with barely enough money to pay for a living. I've had friends in this line of work and they all had to leave due to the stress and shitty wages and work conditions Meh, dont really care if anyone thinks I'm lazy or ungrateful, I wont get pressured into doing these jobs. They should get decent working conditions for their workers instead.

I work a standard 36 hour week at 60 dollars an hour (AUD) but I’m “lucky” to be getting 28 hours over time per week. I can afford to get Uber eats every night of the week and still pay for a mortgage and rent. Yet I’m still not happy. I’m convinced that money makes you less happier. My previous job paid half as much but I enjoyed the work. Now I’m making more more but feeling unfulfilled. I need help

In terms of people getting better jobs with less education just because they knew the HR lady. or people who can’t pay their student loans because the payment is too high. Or someone choose another candidate because of you. The fact that many of US won’t be able to buy a house. Anytime you complain about these issues someone always says “life’s not fair”.
