Today I was given a raise of $1 an hour because my boss signed me up for a training course to do someone else’s job on top of my own. I work in healthcare customer support and we take a lot of calls that are uniquely difficult, stressful and irritating. What other jobs can I look into that pay above $18hr from home without a degree just a lot of experience in customer support, copyright and unarmed security. Thanks.

No…i don't live at south korea, at least there you go to school for 10+ hours to get to a prestigious University and just maybe get some quality education for your future even though it costs your soul and morals Where i live the actual people who told us to actual go to school for 10 hours is so we can be ” Budak Perusahaan” or in english “Corporate Slaves”…also add extra classes and mandatory Extracurricular activities that will make that around 12 hours in some days I wasn't fucking kidding when i said that, my sociology teacher is also the vice of the curriculum and she said that we are all corporate slaves in the end. And if you don't want to go to school from 06.30 AM To 04.00 PM then we're not good people No wonder people at my country is ok getting overworked to fucking shits….we…

Warning: long but well-written rant ahead tl;dr: seemingly great job turns out to be packed with assholes. I'm excited for them to fire me. Alt account for anonymity… I'm a professional writer, with an exceptional portfolio of work done for global brands and clients in 20 countries. I know my shit. I'm good at what I do. Really good. Earlier this year, I was offered a Communications Director position at a firm whose areas of specialty and stated values match my own. They offered unlimited PTO, solid bonuses, good benefits, and the highest pay of any position I've ever had. I turned down another excellent offer to take this job, and everything seemed great – at first. Well, it turns out that I don't know what I'm doing. Months in, no one has taken the time to fully brief me on the expectations of the position, despite my asking. They…

Old job: * artificial “emergencies” and “urgent” requests (eg our client would ask for something by January 2, our work would demand we send it out xmas eve *artificial overwork caused by ridiculous and time consuming processes that kept changing *1-2 hours per day “tracking” our work * constant fear of making a mistake, compounded by the fact many staff were laid off and we were having To monitor temps . people got in trouble for no smiling enough (not a customer job) *never getting an actual day off because of having to answer emails, and having to use pto if we didn’t work 8 hours a day even if worked 70 hours that week *constant negging from senior leadership about how lucky we were to have a jobs and that people in In developing nations could do it better and faster New job: Part of a union Supportive senior…

It’s been a long painful road since I graduated college. I can’t find any long term work in my field, accounting, and it’s because I’m not your typical “accountant” personality. I’m bubbly. I keep getting pushed into sales interviews, and I hate it. Encouragement is welcome. Advice is also welcome. If this post is allowed in this sub. Needless to say, I hate the job market and corporate America.

I drove to a different state for my next assignment, after being at work all day, only to try to check into my hotel and realize that they haven’t paid for my reservation. I just started with the company, and refuse to use my own money to go to work in a different f-*ng state. (Plus who knows how long it would take for a reimbursement). My boss didn’t pick up the phone, still hasn’t… I got ahold of the person in charge of travel and they said that they didn’t know that I needed it paid for and to give them 10 minutes to get it handled… That was 2 hours ago. It’s the middle of the night, I worked all day, then drove here…and when I get ahold of the person who should’ve had this handled, —well shit maybe they fell asleep. I wish I was in my…
