Work is asking me why I won't work an extra hour or two after work when I already do the minimum of what they ask. I throw myself at it–I'm new but by their core metrics, I'm already excelling, the one thing is I'm not working all the extra hours they're capping us at. Basically, I work an extra couple hours a week and they're coming to me asking me why I'm not working more. So question–not hypothetical, I'd like an answer even if I think I have one. What do I get for working more than the bare minimum? What do I get for trying? What do I get from this? If I was to work up to the maximum what is the tangible benefit? I've got three possible answers they might give: One, promotions. Two, more money from overtime. Three, it could be considered for bonus time at…

When I was 15, I got a job working at McDonalds. They scheduled me 40 hours a week, and scheduled me on days that I requested off (since I couldn't drive I wasn't able to make all days). Already, it was clear that they didn't value me or my time. As many of you probably know already, McDonalds pays a different wage depending on how old you are. They paid me $9.30 an hour (minimum wage) at my age. 16 year olds were paid $11.25. The excuse for this was that 15 year olds weren't able to do as many things as 16 year olds, namely working the grill, using the fryer, going into the refrigerator and freezer, etc. However… they still had me do all those things. I didn't think anything of it at the time but reflecting on it now, it all makes sense, and makes me feel…

That s all i have to say

Fortunately I have been able to find another customer who is willing to pay a better price for it. With that in mind and the limited supply, I hereby notify you that I am formally ending our relationship as customer and labor supplier. Effective xx/xx/2022″

Today, I had to interact with a rude bully of a patient, angry and over exaggerating his concern. I was proud of how calmly & efficiently I handled him, just to get through our encounter. I'm an expert, but it had been a surprise, because there was no reason for it. I went to get the next patient from the lobby…and was told by Receptionist that patient was outside because he didn't want to wear a mask for his medical appointment. So there I am, outside the clinic, using my nice voice to coax the patient inside, he's telling me he won't do it, and that's fine, he gets to decide his healthcare, if he wants the visit or not. (Has to wear a mask though). And it just hit me…the fatigue, just being battle weary fighting battles that aren't even mine…and I stared off in the distance for a…

The teaching profession is not what it used to be. Too many ego maniacs and the work environment is extremely toxic and mentally draining.
