I just had an hour mental break down panic attack because no matter how hard I try, I still can’t afford to stay afloat. My job pays really well so I don’t understand why I’m struggling so much. I can’t even afford to eat more than once a day, it seems nearly impossible to save any money when inflation is out of control. It just doesn’t seem worth it. I’d rather die than continue to stress and stay a slave to money. How is everyone else doing okay? Especially people with kids. God I can’t even imagine if I had a child now I’d feel like even more of a failure and loser. I feel like running away from this bullshit system we’re forced to live under. I’m so sick of being controlled by money. I feel like playing in traffic right now I’m so upset. Thinking of getting another…

I work as a service advisor for an Rv dealership. On Saturdays we are open 9 to 1. I had a customer call at 12:30 and said he would be there at 4 to drop off. I informed him of our hours and that we closed at 1. He then went on a 10 minute yelling and swearing rant about how im a piece of shit because i wouldnt wait 3 hours after we closed for him. I give 110% to my job and if this customer was nice i would have waited around for a little bit (maybe 30 min), but the fact he was a d-bag and wanted 3 hours!! I cant believe people think this ok. If i had another job lined up or had some money set aside to be able to not work for awhile i would have hung up the phone, walked out and…

I’m Hamish. I’m a transgender man (female to male). I have not started medical transition, but I have socially transitioned in many ways, meaning I present as male, I introduce myself as male, and my family and friends are aware of my identity as male. There is one glaring area of my life however in which I still have to play the role of a cis woman and that is at work, wherein most of my coworkers and all of our customers don’t know my status as a trans male. This is by design, much of the management and our clientele has proven to me they aren’t safe to be out to and has said things that might be considered violently transphobic. Also my dad is the general manager and if I came out it would force him to take a side which the workplace would see as political. Needless…

CURRENTLY , on google support . Its been an hour. I'm on my ninth representative . I keep getting passed between two departments. over and over. I think im “victim” of antiwork practice. IM going stay in the chat and see how long they'll pass me. viva la resistance? https://preview.redd.it/zxhquyi80qw81.png?width=2880&format=png&auto=webp&s=3c31da31eaa606c6c6f05c8e758a23ecb3a159c1

I possibly have a new opportunity at a place that would be perfect for me and in a field of work I’ve always wanted to work in but somehow I still feel so guilty leaving my current job if I get this new job. My current job took a chance with me and has been sooo understanding and a great place to work and I run one of their departments. Why do so many people feel guilty leaving their job when they’d be happier somewhere else? It’s a struggle

Usually I just put that I’m a white girl not a veteran and without disabilities. Does this hurt me in hiring managers’ view? Should I decline to answer or would that hurt me too?

So I have been employed by a retail chain for around 3 years. I have never been written up. Never had significant issues my entire time here, they pay very well $20/hr and have great benefits. Especially as a college student. In November, I asked if I could have leave for University to which my Warehouse Manager accepted. I took 3.5 months off. At the beginning of March, I decided to come back and cut down on school. And have since decided that I wanted to move up. I applied for a Supervisor position and weird things started happening to me. First off, I was out sick for 3 days to which I provided a doctor's note. I was written up because I didn't have enough sick hours to take leave. After asking why, my Warehouse HR person said that Doctors notes only protect against call in patterns, not absences.…
