Month: October 2022

By using my slightly below average work speed and implying it is not enough to get through dayshift because it is the jungle Conclusion: I go on the computer and say I need to look at the roster, I go to the bathroom I slow down on important work to extract the quality so I can work less

I work as a custodian for the local school district. There are multiple schools. Elementary, middle and high school. We all have the same boss. The job is what it is, we all accept it. All except the high school. I know the antiwork community might disagree on this, but it's possible to just have a bad attitude and vibe somewhere that starts with the employees. That's how it is at the high school. There are a couple of employees who are always calling off. Then the remaining employees (not unfairly) decide that they aren't going to work short staffed, so they call off too. That leaves the place so short staffed that I get pulled out of my own school and sent to their school to do all of their work, leaving my own work at my own school to fall behind. Well, that is bullshit. So I complained…

Edit: I'm a RN, took a break for mental health. Have an interview Tuesday. Just starting to get my confidence back. The last 3 years have been shitty as a RN. THEN today i received a deposition notice in the mail. A facility I worked at 5 years ago is getting sued.. I'm not the focus of the lawsuit, but as a nurse who worked there, I have to be deposed. I'm sick about it. Fuuuuuuck. I really need a break here. I want to just quit.

I've been working DUG part time at Albertsons for just over two months, first job as a 19yo, and for the most part it's been great – except for the schedule. Without fail, I've been scheduled every Saturday since I started, except for Labor Day weekend which I specifically asked for off. I thought being scheduled for every Saturday would be a temporary thing, but… two months later, I finally asked our scheduling manager if I could get at least one weekend day guaranteed off in order to be able to spend time with my parents, who are up there in years (66 and 57 respectively) and still in the workforce. The response? Basically “you were hired to be the weekend kid, suck it up”. I know it may sound like a minor thing, particularly considering I'm 19 and this is my first job, but… I've had enough. That alone…

Yesterday my boss told me they’re eliminating my position. They said I have two options: I can accept a severance package or accept a role in another department. This other role is the only other role they’re currently hiring for and it is not something I’m remotely interested in. I know I will be very unhappy in that position. I’ve been with this company for 10 years and a few months ago they were acquired by a conglomerate. My role was reduced but they told me they still had a need for my role, until yesterday. With these changes I have been unhappy with the company’s leadership and have considered leaving but stayed for a few reasons.. My spouse and I have been trying for a baby for a year now and met with a reproductive endrocrinologist (RE) last week. We’re getting tests done (so far the tests we have…

Am I crazy? But I only just found out I didn’t get paid for Labor Day. I am part of a union and a full time city employee. I can’t believe I do not get to reap the rewards of this holiday, wasn’t it made into a holiday because of unions?? But hey at least they are giving my coworkers and I a Little Caesar’s pizza party next week. . .
