Month: May 2022

I am a security guard and I was told my company was going under and I have about a month to look for a new job. I have already put out hundreds of applications and so far I get rejected a lot. The reason why I have not left sooner is because I am pretty comfortable at my current job and I spend most of the time at work doing nothing. Occasionally I have to do about 40 minutes of work a day in a 8.5 hour work shift but that is about it. I just don't want to find a really intense or fast paced workplace after being comfortable with doing nothing at my current job. My ultimate career goal is to find something that will let me work from home. I see these other threads that other Redditors make where they only do 2 to 4 hours of…

I got hired and was put at the checkout first thing on my first day. My boss stood behind me for the first 30 minutes and then left me, working at checkout for hours. after 2 or 3 hours, when there were fewer customers and another checkout was open, I left my spot and went to the breakroom. I was near a damn panic attack because it was just too much for me, so I broke down and cried. My boss came in and asked why I was crying, I told her that what I said in the interview wasn't a lie and that I now know that I really don't like working at checkout because it gives me…
