Month: April 2022

It's interesting that when you go to college/university you're encouraged to just leave and use the toilet whenever you like because “we are grown-ups”. This job though… I feel like I'm back at school. Even in retail I was able to get someone to take over (they would be cool with it) while I go to the toilet. When I'm away for too long I get messages like this: “Where are you, just noticed you were offline for 10 mins after your break”. I didn't change my status off break to “unscheduled break” to go. I needed to take a s*** damnit. When I gotta go I gotta go. I just so happened to not need to go during break. I'm sure customers would understand that their agent needs to do their business. Things are going my way though and hopefully I'll be out of here soon.

Is anyone else sick of the constant “You gotta work HARD” mantra being pushed online as of late? All over twitter and insta, working hard, multiple jobs, all hours of the day, breaking your balls just to earn some paper, you ain't anybody unless you work hard blah blah blah, I can't be the only one that cringes like hell at these videos or posts? I'm quite happy working my 4hrs a day, thank you very much.

Greetings everybody! I have followed this group for months now, and I have appreciated all your stories freeing yourself from toxic work enviroments. For that same reason, I have decided to write today to get some enlightment on my future. I'll provide some background and you can take it from there. I'm currently 31yo with a BA in Communications and an MBA in Communications. Due to not being “formally” hired during my 20's due to various life reasons, I made my ends meet by performing as a live musician. It was all good until due to infections and vocal cords injuries took a toll on me. I can speak and sing today, but I'll have lifelong issues that will definitely wear me out faster. I'm suffering from inflammation while taking back to back calls on the Internal Revenue Call Center for only $15-16 per hour. I'm tired! I'm looking for…

I'm tired of people thinking it's a flex to say they work 60 hours a week. I want to hear about how little you had to work last week.

Dear work, I don't want to work. I never wanted to work. I don't want to chase success, instead I want to chase what is valuable to me, and what is valuable to me is my time, time I can use to enjoy my hobbies, time I can use to spend time with friends and family, time I can use to do whatever I wish to do with the limited time I have on this earth. My labor for thee is but a mutually beneficial courtship for which I exchange my time, body and mind in exchange for currency, currency I need to live for the things I value. And yet you ask for more than what was agreed upon, you ask me to take out more time from things I value in exchange for next to nothing. You ask me to work to the very bone for nothing to…

I've seen a Redditor recommended on here who can be paid to help refine your resume for better job search results. I am looking for this service. I'm a US-based IT developer turned Project Manager and ready to move on. If you are that Redditor or you know who I'm talking about, please point me in the right direction! Thank you.

I’ve been struggling finding a job in my field after graduating college. It’s been almost a year and I’ve done everything. I always get close to a job offer but never actually receive one. Well two weeks ago I was interviewing for a remote job in Boston and it seemed amazing and I fit the job description perfectly. I did three rounds of interviews and I was told I’d hear back by X day. Well that day came and went and I thought “eh it’s happened before time to move on.” Three days later they email me and I got the job! They said they were excited to offer me the position and I would soon be receiving my offer letter and welcome package. I replied immediately thanking them for them for the opportunity and that I was excited for their email. Well two days went by, three, four, a…
