If you are not happy at least half of the time you are alive, is it even logically worth living in the first place?

Just worked over 10 hours straight and I’m 16 years old

I live in Indiana, USA. I work at a pizza place and everybody is great. Great work environment, all my bosses are actually some of the coolest people I’ve ever met, and I get paid $12/hr. That’s not amazing, I know, I started at $10. I got a raise for being committed to the job. I don’t really have a gripe about working so much (at least 4-5 shifts per week) other than my back hurting from all the hard work, I just wanted to know if it was legal for a person under 18 to work a 10 hour shift without a real scheduled break.

isn’t it crazy how really we have little to no job security in america?

i’m moving to a new state for a job next week and i’m so excited ! i’ve never done a big move and lived at home for a majority of college so i’m really excited to have some independence as well as a really large savings as back up after working a year post grad while living at home. I feel really lucky to have been able to rely on my family to help me especially with the way things are so unaffordable now. but lately as this move is looming over me I feel major amounts of anxiety as well. I think about how when I move to this new state, I will now be responsible for so many things like rent in one of the most expensive cities in the united states. I keep thinking about how most states are at will employment and no job is truly…

I asked to reduce in-office workdays for many reasons, including short- and long-term health reasons. HR responded and asked for Dr. Appt Info.

This was on our “motivation” wall at work. Is confusion a motivation tactic?

Asked my awesome manager to okay OT with the president of the company… and this is coming from the same woman that wants us to go out of our way off the clock to promote our services. (temp to hire)

Was told to either give a reason for my absence and when I did they gave me the option to resign or they separate my employment. This was my response. Am I an asshole?
