Month: May 2022

My SO and I make roughly $6k a month, and yea it feels better than only making $18/hr, but rent goes up several hundred dollars a year. Just in the last 4 months, it went up by $400. There are no laws that regulate rent increase in Nevada. I cannot fucking fathom what we would do if I was still making $18/hr, but if I was single I would have thought long and hard about killing myself. I looked at the rent for my hometown. It’s much higher of course, and the space is literally 2-3x smaller for the same or fewer bedrooms. I am almost 40, so this wage honestly still feels completely like shit. You’re thinking “But dude you could buy a new gaming PC every few months if you really wanted to.” Yea I could, but guess what? If I want to buy a home, I’m going…

I used to work at a dermatology office, I won't name names but they were pretty advanced with with their ways to treat patients and had great dermatology practices. It was great experience and made me realize I really love skin cancer removals, cyst surgeries, and kinda wanna try doing that in the future as a career. The providers I worked with were always fantastic and eccentric yet tired doctors/PAs/NPs that just like being their dorky selves. And that is all the positives I can say about the company. Let's talk about what my job was like. I woke up at 6:20am to leave at 6:45am every day so I can beat traffic and get to the office at 7:20. My shift doesn't start for another hour technically, but I clock in and open every room, fill all liquid nitrogen canisters, check emails, look at biopsy reports, and print out…

I'm 22 and was born and raised in Los Angeles. I just want to be able to afford to move out. Im graduating college this year to be a teacher and while I love the job I hate that I will probably never be paid enough to be able to move out from home. Makes me feel like such a failure. The American dream is DEAD

I don’t know the ins and outs of the system in the states as I’m not in the states but from what I’ve seen you can just get fired. Here that does not happen you don’t just get fired unless it’s gross misconduct or if it’s not gross misconduct your workplace has to have a paper trail for some time showing that they have tried to help you before firing you. I used to think America was ahead of everyone…..but tbh it’s so backwards and I do not mean to offend anyone. I just think it’s so sad. Your minimum wage..yikes. My brother lives in the states and I was talking to his partner she asked me how much I get paid I told her she then converted £ to $ and was shocked. I’d be scared to work in the states of course it’s not the worst of the…

Last week I was working my main shift at an upscale family diner someplace along the western front. My father came through to surprise me and my first insginct was everything was now. But it wasn't. That's when I lost it. I churped up my belongings and screamed bloody hell at my family. “Why can't you understand the pity I go through in all of this?” Did I really think it would be a while before the power were through? Needless to say, I won't be coming back to my job anytime soon unless its possible that a major power come through. EDIT: It's come to my attention that some of you might not be able to understand this post, or worse, fear that I am a bot. While I do respect these opinions I can assure you that any falsehoods you see are not understood by many. I hope…

Here goes, long time lurker first time poster.  I am trying to do this somewhat anonymously, as i haven't told most people of my situation apart from family and close friends. I doubt it will be easy though, as field is pretty narrow.  Anyways, been wanting to share my story for a long time… But I'm a bit embarrassed, and feel like I'm a spoiled brat. Because when i read other people's post, my story and life has been like playing a game on easy setting.  Thats mostly due to the fact that I'm Danish, and this then becomes a danish antiwork story. Pretty much any antiwork story from dk is going to sound silly against an American one.. since we in general get payed money to work, have health insurance built in the system.. there is pension and usually 5-6 weeks payed vacation.  So sorry about that.. but i…

I was hired three months ago as a Bank Teller. My manager has recently started asking me to sweep outside the bank, to clean the drive thru ATM, and to windex all the windows at the bank. I’m wondering if this is normal. Shouldn’t this work be done by a professional cleaning service?
