If people question your dedication to the company, reply back to easily answered questions, but utilize the send later function. So, in your reply, apologize for just finally getting to their question and set the email to send at a random time after hours, so they think you're still at it. Even better if you have a few emails to do and set them all a few minutes apart.
So I work in mental health, and experienced some really bad burn out, and compassion fatigue last week. So bad I was contemplating suicide, and had to be admitted to an inpatient psychiatric hospital for a few weeks. While I was there almost all of the staff members I spoke with suggested quitting if it was getting too much for me to handle. I've been thinking about quitting for a while now, and this was a breaking point for me. The problem is, is that I feel like I can't quit. I convinced my boyfriend to start working there, even though he wasn't really interested, so that we could both recieve a large referral bonus. The bonus is prorated, and paid out over the next 3 months. My boyfriend doesn't want me to quit. He wants me to see if I can find something else in the company that might…
Actually it would be “most” appreciated, but I'll play fair and remove “proofreading skills” from my resume…. Bullet List Rant: Used to work a mind-breakingly stressful, underpaying job as a special education paraeducator. Yes, this was in the American public school system. I performed this job for 15 years. I miss my students, but I do not miss the stress, the dangerous conditions, the 4E (dodging fake bullets/barricading classrooms) trainings, the low pay (I started at $8k per year and resigned at a whopping $14k per year!), wage freezes that lasted for years on end, and the angry/stressed/unapologetically checked out coworkers. Do not miss the administrators earning six figures above the rest of us peasants, while simultaneously throwing each and every one of us under the proverbial bus any time a parent had an issue. This happened frequently to the certified staff. Those people sure don't get paid enough, either.…

i live in slovakia, i take care of my mother who’s pension is 180€ which is laughable, they pay me 500€ to take care of her, and it is illegal for me to also get a part time job, if she got a 100€ more they would cut my pay in half because why pay people more money? we live in a a studio apartment and share a bed, we struggle to pay bills and afford food no matter how hard i try to save money its just never enough the last 2 weeks of the month so we have to borrow money from people, i cannot get a job that would pay more because i dropped out of high school to take care of my mom, and if i did land a job, there would be no one to take care of her, when we pay our bills, pay…
Additionally, they’ve been told 1 of them (out of 3 staff) will be fired in 3 months unless she makes more money.
