I’ve had enough of going to a shitty job and hearing about little kids getting slaughtered and watching nothing being done. Enough is enough- I’m calling for a national day of Action on Thursday June 2nd. Everyone calls in sick to work. Who’s with me ?

I essentially had a manager yell at me, while I was trying to de-escalate the situation by saying “Can we just talk about it” and “Can you please tell me what I did wrong”. This manager then continued to yell and when I asked why they were being so aggressive. They said that I was calling them an “angry black woman” (which I never said, and we are the same skin color so that was confusing). I asked, “are you calling me racist?”. With no response, the manager continued to yell asking that I go home and saying I was being insubordinate, by requesting what I did before I went home. I try to talk to another manager (calling them manager 2), and Manager 2 immediately takes Manager 1's side and sends me home. I concede and go home. I request to file harassment shortly after and they tell me…

Checked my work app just now and they put me on for Monday, no call to see if I can do it. I already have plans that day because for the past three weeks, I’ve been scheduled as off. Wtf lol. Should I call in the morning and tell them I can’t do it?

I wasn’t able to make much progress with so much dysfunction and ignorance I had to put up with other people’s psychological barricades daily I spent thousands upon thousands on therapy to undue the damage of our toxic workplaces I found the work to be dull, uninteresting and demeaning I had to listen to ritualistic accusations from coworkers looking for a scapegoat I had to try to be polite as I watched slow motion trainwrecks I encountered all kinds of unknowns and misunderstandings

I don't hate my job per se, but I also don't love doing it everyday either. I deal with a lot of anxiety around employment (having been laid off three times in the span of two years thanks to the pandemic) and constantly think that I'm going to be fired/laid off for the most little of things. I know I'm not alone in having these thoughts, but a part of even having them makes me angry. My room mate has recently contracted Covid (rapid and PCR confirmed) and obviously I'm exposed. I also got a PCR test done at the same time and it came back negative and I'm beginning to wonder if I'd taken the test too soon. Anyways, when I found out about my room mate I told my job that I was going to get a PCR done, which I thought most people knew took two days…

I worked for a public accounting firm that has about 50 employees. It seems like one person a week has quit since the middle of March. Which should speak for within itself. In June, we have informal promotions and formal promotions in December. I was supposed to get promoted last December but was passed over. I took it in the chin and worked hard to prove myself. Last week they announced who would get promoted and I wasn’t on that list. They had passed me over once again for an inexperienced accountant. Being the irrational person I am, I quit. During my talk with the partner, they promised me the promotion if I stayed. They also told me they wanted to make this person happy and didn’t want them to leave. They didn’t think I would make fuss, much less quit. I politely declined their offer and left. Leaving has…
