Month: July 2022

I work in the public sector. All of our IT is managed centrally, which seems like a good idea, but is done really badly. For about 2 years there has been a project to create a website to host some information to external users. It's rumbled on for so long that I created it in SharePoint in a morning. It's really to roll out to users internally and externally at my managers discretion. The shit department not doing the work won't be punished for dicking around. I won't be rewarded for finally doing the thing. I hate how no one is responsible.

Hi Everyone. My beliefs are not even close to anti-work. Nonetheless, there are a few things I agree with here: Playing hardball with your employers. If you want to get paid more, do what you need to do to get paid more even if your employer doesn't like it. He isn't any more special than you are. Not letting your employer guilt trip you into doing something that is against your interest. When you are working, you take of yourself and the job. When you are not or should not be working you take care of yourself. Employees should demand that employers should not actively make their lives worse. Important life events. Go take that trip to see your dying relative. Follow your religious practices. Take a vacation every once in a while. If you listen to enough close minded people you might learn something. Have a good week.

I have turned into basically an alcoholic, depressed and anxious mess because of my 9-5. It’s not even that bad of a job but I am absolutely filled with dread every minute of every day because of it. I eventually feel this way about every single job I’ve ever had. I feel my stomach twist up every time I get an outlook notification or hear my phone ring. I am so mentally exhausted that all i can do after 5 is lay on the couch and drink until I go to bed. I have to drink a glass of wine in the morning to hold off panic attacks. I have no relationships with anyone but my husband and mom outside of work and those are both suffering. I am not built for this. I wish it was possible to take a year off or something and just be able to…

Last month I asked for a raise did not get it and then they started giving me more work so that I could “earn my raise” They have been nit picking everything I do and on my ass on the little things that they never cared about prior to me asking. Now they are adamant in making me suffer it seems. I have been applying even got to the final round in one of the jobs I applied to and have not heard anything back yet. Its really hard to schedule job interviews and work at the same time. I have to go into work every single day Mon-fri from 7:20am-5pm cause I drive 30 min in. So that leaves me with little time to do interviews. I had to call off for the interview days but I cannot keep doing that every time right? I'll be running low on…

Stimulus Packages: Seriously. Give people more money to work while making the next generation pay for it in taxes and inflation. Just let the thing fall apart and see how people put it all back together. You'll probably get to recycle out some rich elites in the process.
