Not a fun time when the number of workers gets cut in half, I feel like I just worked a full week and it’s only Tuesday. This is a relatively new job and today is the first time I’ve felt real spite towards my coworkers. Just fucking annoying, I feel dead inside.
I swear to god why did they have to schedule me 12 days in a row? I told them not to schedule me on any Sunday and they schedule me on easter fucking. They then tell me because they are under new management that the new manager didn't know that I couldn't work on Sundays and that they would like to hear an updated version of the days I can't work. I tell them I can't work lunches on Saturdays. Then they schedule me next Saturday lunch.
I don’t have anything lined up but cannot do it any longer. I’ll be giving them notice because the people I work directly with are nice and will be totally fucked, it’s more at an organizational level. Anyone have tips on best use of time how to stay calm without a job/insurance? I could probably find another job immediately but I’d probably hate that as well, so I’d like to take this time to be able to be deliberate about my search.
I'm totally with every last single one of you redditors! Shit needs to change. The constant stream of bitching doesn't really seem to be helping. Posting about shitty paying jobs, crappy bosses, etc… I get it we all need to vent, but is there any action in that plan? What could you do personally to improve the situation? Is it even possible? Are we even capable of uniting? Are you able to survive without that said shitty job? Stay strong friends.
This is a throw away account. I know covid was terrible for most people, but for me it was the best work experience of my life. I talked to more people, wasn't filled with social anxiety, could go for early morning runs, walks at lunchtime, etc… Now I'm back to work and all the old cliques have reformed and I'm just left by myself at my desk. No-one talks to me and I'm going fucking insane. I feel like I'm the only one that hates RTO and I'm getting to the point where I just want to jump in front of the tube.
I work for a recording studio as an engineer, where majority of the clientele are what people would call “from the streets”, and thus most of my working hours are in the late nights (10pm – 6am). In our studio, a client would pay half of the total studio fee as a deposit, then the rest once the session is over, but from time to time, I get clients that tries to cheat their way out of having to pay the remainder by either claiming that they’ve already made payment through Online banking (which I have no way to confirm this because boss is asleep), or they’ll tell me to send the files first and then they’d pay (to which I refuse, but sometimes they’d refuse to leave until they get the files, and we’d end up sitting there for 3-4 extra hours). It’s even worse now that my boss…
