Month: July 2022

Yup, every day my feet and back hurt even if I don't stand for long. The joints in my feet are throb most of the time and my arches are always aching. I never had pain like this until I worked a job that required me to be on my feet non stop. I would go to the doctor but I can't afford that, and it's not life threatening enough for me to be set back for months. I'm just so tired of this work culture. We either have to sacrifice ourselves mentally or physically or both, just to barely get by. I don't even see the point of getting a job in this day in age. It's like running on a wheel to get absolutely no where.

I hate my job. Leadership sucks because they barely know how to turn on their computers but are judged to be good enough to run IT departments and make decisions about how their employees should do their jobs and with what tools. Since COVID, they fired about 1/3 of our staff but not a single supervisor and then absorbed 3 other teams and all their work. Our workloads almost tripled and saw no increases in pay for having our job descriptions changed. HR is completely unaware of this and would have a field day if they knew. Finally got accepted into a college program and sent in my notice today at noon. Within 30 minutes, my supervisor called me to ask why and if I would consider staying. While on the phone with him, my manager started messaging me asking if I would stay if she gave me a raise…

At my old job, I had a lot of trouble sometimes because of what I suspect is undiagnosed depression, ADHD, and social anxiety. I am honestly really afraid of getting another job and struggling again. I have wanted to go to the doctor to get checked out for a while now, but im a bit afraid of that for my own reasons, but I was wondering if I would get any assistance or anything if I showed my employer that I was diagnosed with these things, or if it wouldn't even do anything at all.

This happened to me recently. The way he brought it up felt like it was a good deal that I currently didn’t need insurance from them. I’m on Medicaid and can stay on it and work as long as my incomes not above $1500 because I have a disability. It made me uncomfortable because he started to pry into my marital status and medical history. But I managed shut him down by repeating that I do not need insurance from the company because I have my own and that’s all he needs to know. He was also really excited that I don’t have kids saying straight up “that’s good so you won’t need to leave for them” I’m assuming if they get sick or something. I got the job but the place gives me a pretty bad feeling.
