Month: May 2022

tl;dr… I bolded important details (but I think it's all important?) if you don't want to read. I'm desperate. Please help me out for right now and moving forward. I’m in MO. I'm a young contract employee for a hospital. I've had issues with my company picking on me for a bit. It's a small non-profit with 20 people in my role scattered in the area at different sites, and most of them are 40s-60s. I notice my coworkers doing things that are very comparable to things I do, but it's only wrong when I do it. Or somehow finding a way to blame me for a situation. My boss has always said I'm great at the job, but [insert some issue with my personality or humor or word choice]. Let me try to summarize issues from even the last three weeks. I asked about accommodations (~2 weeks ago) after…

So I work remotely in a call center. It’s been nearly 9 months and I still get phone anxiety. I’m just over it, and not sure where to go since there’s little work in my town, and came from working overnight at our local Walmart. I make ok money for not having a completed degree but wish there was more out there. Unless I’m missing something in all of this? Or am I just the only one? Ok rant over.

So I'm 37 years old, male, no kids, single, live in a paid off one bedroom apartment and have 2 paid off cars. I really hate my job, & it's getting worse meaning I can't bring myself to work. My side hustle is only bringing enough money to pay for about 25% of my monthly expenses. Thinking of resigning, cash out my pension which will last me 3 years if my side hustle income doesn't change. What do you think? I mean if I fail then only I will suffer the consequences.

Read original post heree So I had a one on one with manager and now, they have changed my job description. I am now supposed to do all the work they were assigning me yesterday coz that is what is expected of my role and part of my job description. I asked my manager 'why wasnt I involved in so n so when so n so is directly related to me' N her reply was 'oh you werent online' This just keeps getting worse and worse. Anybody have any job leads in ecommerce. Please let me know. I am in Canada, but ecommerce is mostly remote, so open to work anywhere. It sad that I worked so hard and this is what I get, not a change of title, but change of job description. Thank you.

So sick of being told my wages aren't a reflection of how much my employer values my work and my contribution to the team. They really think they're compensating for low standards of living by evoking a feeling of “you matter.” If I matter so much, you value me so much, you respect me so much, why would you knowingly pay me less than my value. You simply cannot value and honor a person if they are giving you most of the value they give you for free. Being aware that you're getting more value from me than you give to me in return, and thanking me for it when you know I either have to give my value to someone or starve, doesn't make it any less exploitative.

I'm thinking full time nomads, boondockers that kind of thing? How to get started, how to finance it. I'm done spending all my energy on things that aren't worth anything in the long run. I want a life that's worth living.

Hey all! Looking for a bit of advice/any experience you have around returning a companies equipment after quitting/being terminated? I was let go from my work from home position in March 2022. No mention of how to return equipment so I asked my previous supervisor who told me I would receive boxes to my home to return the laptop/monitor and stuff. It's been two months since then with no contact from my previous employer. I've received everything I needed from them (final pay, pension info, transferring benefits, tax forms, etc.) and have no reason to have any contact with them moving forward. However nobody from the company has said anything about returning the equipment. It's currently just taking up space on my floor in the corner. Does anyone have any experience with this? What happens if I were to discard/throw out the equipment? I'm in Canada BTW. Thanks for any…

I'm tired of hearing story after story about how people are just trying to make ends meet and corporations seem to fuck us over and over and over again. I'm tired of having to wait every two to four years to vote for people who will bicker and get paid off and nothing gets done for any of us. I'm tired of being told to “wait” for equality. I'm tired of being told “trust the process.” The oligarchs control the politicians, they control the media, they control the healthcare, they control the judges, they control the prisons, they control the education, they control every FUCKING thing. They lie, they cheat, they steal, they exploit, they kill. And then they do their best to pacify us with minute raises and “social justice representation.” The right to simply be a human being hangs in the balance. There is plenty of money to…
