Old post: https://www.reddit.com/r/antiwork/comments/tqbucy/i_quit_my_job/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share I got a new job a few days after i resigned which is the same pay BUT I only work 32 hours per week. I start in September, which was something I wanted and they were happy to accommodate that. My new boss also said the new job is partly WFH, which is something I've been wanting to do for years but wasn't allowed to. Hoping that the new job will be better than this current. I wrote a lengthy e-mail to my old (current) boss informing her about my reasons for leaving which includes nepotism, favoritism, retaliation from her side when I've voiced criticism, her ignoring another co-worker verbally abusing me, talking about me behind my back, leaving me with doing the job of 3 people while training 2 new employees and now micro-managing everything i do. She just replied with a thank you. No apologies…

In his next sentence he then went on to say “ I’m not really a micro manger”. It was a very confusing interview from start to finish. I’m just curious based off this small example would you have accepted/taken the job?

Best example is UPS drivers, while yes they have great hourly pay, they are still FORCED to work nearly 60-70 hour EVERY SINGLE week, except maybe 1-2 months out of the year. ​ 100k/60-70 hours ISN”T THE SAME AS 100k/40! It's not even CLOSE!

So I'm wondering if I'm being underpaid I'd like to hear your guys thoughts, I've been doing bricklaying for about two months and they're paying me $150 (aud) a day(10 hours) I feel as if I'm not getting paid right but then again I could be wrong. am I wrong? or am I actually being underpaid I work really hard and I just feel as if it isn't right

I recently found this sub and wanted to share my experiences. About 15 years ago I used to work for a corporate electronics retail giant. At the time I was hired as a 'stock boy' to help manage inventory. It was supposed to be a temporary position but ended up turning into a sales role once they saw how well I interacted with customers. After a short time I was promoted to an “assistant manager” at a second location within the same mall. I was naive and young and stupid at first and just kept thinking how this would look on a resume being promoted so quickly! I was expected to come in early and stay late but was only paid for my regular shift. I didn't question it at first. Figured it was part of being manager. After doing plenty of favors like covering managers shifts from time to…

How do you survive financially after quitting your job?
