Month: May 2022

I asked a manager for a raise once because I got a job offer at another company for easier work and higher pay. I do commercial tires for a living, I learned the business from my father when I was a kid. I didn't like the work so I left the industry for about 7 years then eventually came back to it in 2018. I was a bit rusty so I asked to work at the “pad” until I got into the swing of things, and since I was rusty I decided to accept their offer of $22/hr. Eventually I got back into form and so I was out doing service calls, as well as after-hours emergency road service work. About two months in I asked if I could learn how to use the hydraulic press they had to do forklift tires and they said sure, they also asked me…

I drove for 55 minutes this morning to go a little under 13 miles to my office, where I work 3 days a week. I got there right around 9 AM. I sent 3 follow-up emails, peed, got some water, and sat back down at my cubicle. That took about 30 minutes. I have not done anything productive since. I spent all day looking for jobs, watching Youtube and shows on my phone, and talking to my coworkers who are also doing nothing. We work in accounting and it’s the day before month-end close. Everything that we could prep for our “busy period” is already prepped and has been for days. WHY. Can’t. We. Just. Fucking. Go. Home???? I need a fully remote job ASAP and the 40 hour work week and the concept of trapping people at their jobs for a minimum 8 hours even when there isn’t jack…

I work in social services. We get tons of pissed off parents, guardians, and caretakers wanting their children back. Or they are upset that they have to attend classes or submit to drug testing. Last week on Friday, my coworker got a call from a parent whose children were removed from her care. She started telling my coworker that she was going to come up to our office and beat her up. She started telling her that she knows what kind of car she drives and everything. My coworker reported the incident to our supervisor who only told her that she’ll let security know to look out for the woman and to walk my coworker to her car.. lo and behold the woman showed up to our office brandishing some kind of bat. She was arrested after attacking one of the security guards (i think she swung and missed, thankfully).…

All this and that which sometimes you hear from a baglickin bird-dog about “TiMe ThEfT” or whatever. I propose a tax from hereto and henceforth or whatever lawyer talk needed for me to simmer down at any given arbitrary moment for a total of %30 of my fuckin shift.

With it being school break for the week I’m currently at work more than I am at home. To give an idea I was at work from 7am to 7pm today. It’ll be even worse than this in the summer break, shifts may likely be 7am to 9pm. I come home feeling really burned out. I have no time to do anything I enjoy because by the time I get home I have to cook dinner and then it’s off to bed. I do have weekends off, but again, I can’t even spend that time doing the things I enjoy because I’m having to recover from being at work all week because my body is exhausted and I’m on the verge of bursting into tears from stress at all times. Work makes me feel bad for taking days off too. I’ve tried talking to my manager about the possibility of…

Honestly, I'm terrified as fuck to try and find a new job. My current job does treat me well, the boss is very friendly, and the work culture is pretty sweet. I mean I some times I work on models and miniatures while I work and no one says a damn thing as long as I get my shit done. But I could honestly use more money. And we have had a lot of management departures lately. I'm so scared that I can't get paid better. Or paid as well. I'm scared that once I start somewhere else. I don't be good enough and be fired and then I let my family and household down. It's really is paralyzing. I don't really know what to do. I got my line out in the water, but I'm not letting anything bite, and I'm not really even putting bait on the hook.…
