Month: April 2022

I mean, title. I just wanna take care of my partner, and clean / cook and do stuff for her. I've never managed to hold a job for more than a year or so, always moving on or dropping because of various reasons, but just the thought of working in a professional setting fills me with such dread lately… I used to work 3 jobs at a time, before anyone calls me lazy. My longest running job, I typically clocked 55~ hours a week. And, I just can't do it anymore. My partner is very supportive, and wants to be the breadwinner, take care of me, and really enjoys the work they do. We're financially stable, and yet… I still get constant shit for not having a job. We make smart decisions with our money, and are happy and content. We can save up for things we want in a…

My boyfriend works from home and his manager fucking sucks. She just does whatever she wants and never actually works. Today she sent photos of her and her children biking while she was supposed to be the manager on duty! What kind kind of bs is that! Like Hey guys you better be working hard on your tasks. Make sure to get eveything done! Oh btw here's me and my kids out having fun while you're all doing my work for me!! I hate management privileges

I am part of a business community and Initially I joined like everyone else, to help eachother, as we are geographically located in same Business park. But post covid it has became a headache and I end up spending a lot of hours to discuss pointless agendas of people who are clearly agents of Some other Business like real estate, etc. For example, I have made it clear that I dont want to call my peers and colleagues to office, ai dont mind them working from Home. But so many agents (as mentioned before) have indirectly pushed me to call them. Its none of their business, how I run mine. Not sure How I just leave this people and tell them F@%# off, once and for all..

After my last job as a Bht for nine months I had some up and down moments. It wasn’t what I expected. Like many jobs, the pay wasn’t enough for the job and deserved more. I also had: long commute just to one client with no compensation, no chance of replacement client if one was unable to be seen, abuse from clients and management or teachers I worked with (one particular client abused me and other kids the whole summer I worked with him) Also, ptsd response from working during pandemic and from above job experience which came about on shift or when driving long commute. Then factor in toll charges for commute drive, having a car at the time that required a fill up every other day (my car can carry more now with me inheriting my grandparents car and I have a much closer job)—-I am very thankful…

Anyone else done/doing one of these? I'm doing one at a large, well known company and it's so boring because all you really do is the tedious, low importance tasks that nobody else wants to do. Literally the only benefit I get out of this is that I can name-drop the company on my CV which will help when trying to get a proper job after graduating. Each day drags so much and is painfully slow, sometimes I just sit in the toilets on my phone just to make time go by (it's on a completely different floor in a big building, so they aren't aware of this). I'm over half way through it but want it to be over so badly, is anyone else in a similar situation?

I spent $1300 and last summer getting certified for a job I was told was “so desperately hiring they're hiring off the street!” I looked for postings, called the place and inquired with HR, they said they only take internal applications to that job, even if I have my expensive piece of paper. So I applied to a shitty job I have a lot of experience with just to get in and start applying internally, 6 month contract. I applied 5 times to the job I got certified to do, that was desperately hiring, and in 6 months I never got so much as a phone call. Then they said they're not extending my contract, so im done with them as of April 15th. Apparently the hospital doesn't want certified medical device reprocessing techs as badly as they say, and they just lost someone who was eager to get into…

Hospitality industry. My supervisor told me “great job” by the end of my first day. Even friendly customers here too. Cool co-workers as well. I'm not sure why but by the time I got home, I felt like shit, like a wave of depression or sadness, and suddenly flooded with feelings of wanting to quit. It's hard to describe. Might be the wrong sub-reddit for this type of discussion but I wanted advice about this from fellow workers.

I started a new job yesterday and the hiring manager legit wouldn’t tell me how much I’m making. They said, “We’re not sure.” I wanted to text the area supervisor but my manager told me not to contact him whatsoever. None of this sat right with me and I have another shift in one hour. I don’t wanna work somewhere where I don’t know what I’m getting paid. This store is extremely understaffed and the manager is really hectic and crazy. Idk if I should even bother going in.
