We've all seen the quiz. It's not new. Stop posting it. We're all sick of it.

This is my first time posting here, but I was implored by a current coworker to tell the tale of how I quit my horrible previous job. This post has bits and pieces from pettyrevenge, prorevenge, maliciouscompliance, and talesfromtechsupport, but whatever. About the owners: Around 10 years ago, I was freshly married and took a job working for a small mom and pop type operation that ran a half dozen gas stations a couple liquor stores, and a pair of restaurants. I was early 20s, had no real 40 hour a week work experience, and was sort of desperate to get anything so that I could start making stable money. I literally knew someone that worked for them, walked in and asked for a job like your grandpa says used to happen, and was hired on the spot. The owners were married and were both nasty people who had run…

Well, I'm sending out my resume. I working for a company that builds machines for other business. I write the technical documentation for the customer to service and maintenance their machine. Sure, I'm just a dumb English major and the new hire has a background in engineering, but he is not familiar with this type of machine nor does he have experience in the document system that we use. I've been with the company for over three years with good reviews. I honestly wouldn't have been upset if he made slightly more than I did, considering this background, but $9/hr is a huge difference, and honestly, that money would change my life a lot. I've been training him and now I've lost all motivation to do so. Poor guy, it's not even his fault.

So, let me start by saying I’m a nurse. Ive worked 2 types of 4 day work week schedules. First is where we work 4 days and get 2 days off and the schedule rotates around the week. Every ones schedules over lap to ensure coverage. An example: you work Monday to Thursday. You have Friday and Saturday off. But when you come back to work you’re working Sunday to Wednesday with Thursday Friday off. The other schedule Ive worked is where I work every Sunday to Tuesday and every other week Sunday to Wednesday where Ive gotten 3-4 days off in a week. (I usually always picked up the 4th day anyways because I wanted the additional money) and it was fine…it worked. The company never shut down. My pay was high and no issues. Technically as a Nurse Im still underpaid but I personally feel that nay sayers…

Update: Someone who is awesome went in and grabbed my check and handed it to me behind their backs.

I am 20 years old and work as a receptionist from 8-5 with a 40-minute commute five days a week, and I feel like I am wasting away. I wake up, get ready, arrive at work, count the hours until 5, get home at 6, wait for 9 o'clock to roll around, go to sleep, then wake up and do it again. I am paid $15/hr and this is the closest I have come to being financially stable on my own (even though I am still very far from it), however I can feel myself becoming an empty shell; I have almost no energy to do anything after work. Maybe a few days out of the week I will cook or tend to my plants, but other than that I just sit and watch TV. My brain is fried and I feel aged. I look at my coworkers, who the…
