Sick of this workaholic life

Finally in my “1 month notice” because I finally can’t stand my shitty workplace anymore… don’t employers understand that they cannot get productivity out of their workers if they are burnt out and exhausted? 1 month feels like an eternity when I haven’t had a proper break since December

I’m useless in CA

I'll describe myself then my situation Self: 30 year old woman with diagnosed IBS, sleep apnea and chronic bladder pain. I cannot qualify for disability as neither are recognized as so (although they're mild, they do get in the way of life). As I age, my health just gets worse and I become just a useless sack of flesh and s***. I also live in California and in a county where the only jobs you can find are nursing or retail. My situation: I am sick of only qualifying for education/teaching jobs as working with students has become mentally exhausting. I worked for a non-profit agency that barely paid minimum wage. I'm just burnt out and I know I can't afford to move out of this state. My husband is pressuring me to have a good paying job while also wanting a child. That is just not happening; maybe not…

Anonymous, non-confrontive safe protest Idea.

After watching hundreds of people arrested in Russia for protesting their governments war on the Ukraine and life-threatening events by third party provocateurs at protests in the USA. I pondered, where are you safest physically and legally? Answer = home What can be done “from home” to show displeasure and PROTEST? Answer = You could send a letter to authorities to state your Grievance that would never be opened. Or you can join with other likeminded citizens and consider something inimitable. Any urban area has many Achille’s heals in Its infrastructure. The nuts and bolts that support inhabitants’ lives. Any sort of access or service disruption can call attention to a cause or grievance. The most critical human needs are food and water. I offer the idea for protest action consisting of orchestrated usage of public water. Few numbers of participates may be able to effect a temporary disruption of…

I’ve got a new job where I feel I’ve actually bettered myself for the first time ever. Wages and expenses are paid a month in hand and there’s heavy travelling and staying away involved. That’s a month of me borrowing fuel money and not eating. We are not supposed to succeed.

Fighting the urge to walk out everyday

I’ve been working on this yard for nearly 3 years now. Hired as a yard technician changing batteries on cars, it was actually the best job I’d ever had and I was on decent pay for that time! Life was so good, I couldn’t believe I’d finally found a job that didn’t make me depressed. 1 year later, the contract ran out for the the cars I was working on. I was moved onto the main site. Since then I’ve been moved from job to job, Maintenence checks, booking cars in, refuelling cars. Now it’s been nearly 3 years, I’ve committed to the company and shown willingness to do every job asked of me. I know more jobs than the yard supervisor (who is paid more than me). I often have the supervisor turning to me for advice while he sticks to his one easy as fuck job driving cars…

How to get over guilt of quitting

My job has been a 2 year long hellscape for various reasons. Now we're low staffed and it's falling on me during a time where i was supposed to do a play. So, I got another similar job with the same pay. It hasn't started yet, but I finished orientation and will likely need to start next week. I haven't put in my 2 weeks yet and I'm not planning on it because my bosses are ghouls But for some reason i feel bad putting this train on them. Even if it is their fault
