Month: October 2022

Been dealing with an impatient supervisor for the past week at my 5 month old job. The problem working in a production factory is you're not doing the same thing every day and you're expected to know everything within a short term even though it's highly skilled where I met but it's debatable if it's worth the stress. The guy has been short with me for the past week and I confronted him and I didn't appreciate it. Ultimately he told me to get the fuck out because I didn't agree with this approach. Might be time to wrap up with factory work.

I recently got my hours cut at work. Im down to 20 hours. You can imagine im struggling. I got a call from another co worker asking me to come in for him. I wasnt doing anything, and needed the money. During the night, my wife and i got into a argument which left me distracted. I work as a pizza delivery driver (Going back to my last career field soon). I had a delivery, and locked my damn keys in the car. I had a few co workers come out to try and help but to no use. I had to call a locksmith. Guy shows up, not even 3 minutes and gets it unlocked. $90. I made $87 in tips. I did made $60 hourly. I cant wait to quit dominos and their hourly rate of $7.50

I can't. I nearly lost my last job over this, before losing it for other reasons. 🙁 I legitimately don't have the drive in me. I can do anything, I'm a fun, energetic girl but as soon as you tell me I have to work for 9 hours, 5 days a week, I find that there is nothing deep within me that wants me to keep going that way. Minus the money loss, I'm glad I was let go. My sense of well being has increased, things are better other than financially. I am dreading the day I have to start seeking employment again. I just want to be free.

A couple of months ago I was told by my manager that his manager approved a raise for me. I was told the amount but am keeping it vague just in case. I was told it might take payroll a couple weeks to process, said thank you and got back to work. A few excuses later here I am with no pay increase and little communication other than it’s coming. I’m starting to think they are just stringing me along. Any ideas for recourse other than leaving?

Did I make a mistake by continuing in a field “just for money” for a while? I feel like it’s all coming to a crash and I’m struggling. I felt obligated as I ran into tax issues and owe money. I decided to take a travel job out of state and it’s been nothing but hell. I’m talked down to, treated like a child (for not knowing or understanding an ancient charting system), and now I feel like I can’t make mistakes or asks questions. Some of the language from my preceptor: “That’s bad” (when I didn’t do a Covid screen day 2) “You need to refer to the packet I gave you” (first ever question I messaged her about charting, I also already did check the packet) “I’m sorry you get me as a preceptor” (showing her lack of confidence) “I don’t know how to do that..I’ll have to…

I(22F) work 2 jobs and am a full-time college student. A problem I’ve always had is saying “no” to when either job asks me to cover more shifts or extra hours. I’ve tried using the excuse that I couldn’t answer the phone because I was in classes or at my other job(because that’s usually the case)- but it doesn’t work. They do the classic guilt trip of how I will be leaving another coworker all by themselves that makes me feel I need to say yes. Its starting to affect my physical health in addition to mental health. When and how did you all go about saying “no” to your employers and finding a good balance? Any advice you can give? Thank you in advance.
