I’ll be working for my state’s “Worker’s Center” put on the field pushing low wage workers to unionize and I’ll be making upwards of $50k with full benefits. Holy fuck I just needed to tell somebody because I am beyond thrilled

I could start the new life I want at a new city away from my abusive environment and toxic place. But I need a job first. My life depends on a job. Employers have the key top get me what I want and after hundreds of rejections, the likeliness of living the life of my dreams diminishes. I'm a 24 year old with borderline personality disorder, ADHD and anxiety disorder. I have been trying to move to another state since last year but I can't find a job so I can move. I have been unemployed since January of this year. I need to escape this abusive family before I hit a mental collapse and do something stupid, which I have done a lot since January. I cannot take it anymore. And i cant do this alone anymore. I have tried everything to move and everything to get hired and…

I’m a good production manager underpaid by about 10k on the average in the largest Midwest city; the buyer who ran a 37% food cost making 120k left as the bosses that be were coming down on him hard. I took it over with no raise, and it’s been a month. I’ve lowered food cost by 10% (not spending about $20k/week. Still nothing, I talked to my culinary director and he said 3 months. I’m mad at myself and I don’t know who else to be mad at. I’m tired, working an average of 80hrs/week waking up at 4 or 5am. I’m annoyed and I don’t know how to knock it into these people beyond leaving. The benefits are crap and I have to be on my wife’s insurance. I’ve been a chef for the last 15 years and my knees are crap; I FINALLY get a desk job and…

I really cannot work retail again as I almost killed myself, but I decided to quit instead. I think that I could work well in an office setting or as a receptionist or front desk at a salon or something, but all I have is retail experience and the longest job I've had was 6 months… and I'm 23. I was thinking about just saying I have 5 years experience as a receptionist and hope they don't check?? (U.S.) I genuinely am considering moving back in with people who abused me as I'm so desperate. I'm running out of money.

Company told us on Friday at noon, that everyone needed to work 8 hours of OT over the weekend, and if you could not work it, to let them know and let them know the reason you couldn't. I asked them if there was some list of acceptable and unacceptable reasons, they said no. “so why do you need to know in the first place?” no response, then they just doubled down on the “just let us know if you cant its not a big deal” i just said “fair enough, this weekend i have a 2 day long drug fueled orgy to attend, so i will be out of the area and unable to work” *blank stares*

I work 3rd shift at Walmart. I'm a full time employee but this week I was only scheduled 32 hours. When I got to work tonight my manager started bitching at me for not coming in on my day off. He said ” No phone call or or text? Not cool bro, not cool. We only had one person in your department. You need to work double fast tonight. I'm disappointed.” And so on… This job makes me miserable, I'm drinking daily because of how much I hate this place and myself. I've been getting job offers on indeed and I'm applying. Fuck these corpo scum.

Hey so I was wondering if anyone thought about doing something on r/place involving antiwork or something related. I think it would be a great way to help spread the message:) comment what you guys and gals think 🤔
