Month: February 2023

I am an intern so it’s not like I do super important stuff at work. I work 4 times a week full remote but they want us to go back to the office. It states that they want us to work 2 times a week in the office. Since I am an intern, could I maybe make a good excuse as to why I will not be able to work in the office? Like what is a schedule related reason my manager could approve? I really do not want to go to work, it is like an hour away from me. So it would already take 2 hours a day away. I also get paid bad, 5$ an hour. So, I’m not so keen on going to the office. I get my work done while working at home

5hrs x 4 days . Pay should be doubled also . It's 2023 damit . Nobody likes spending most of their waking lives at work. Work life balance means 50/50 not 70/30.

I feel guilty because yesterday I told my manager I was getting better and today I’d definitely be able to go. She counted on me, because a lot of people are on holidays. I wasn’t really expecting that I’d get worse, as I was getting much much better. But this morning, I could barely get up, my whole body is sore and very sensitive. My throat is very sore, and I’ve no energy. I have a mild fever as well, not too bad, but enough to make me feel nauseous. I texted her that I’ve gotten worse. She still didn’t answer my message. I’m always ready to work, it’s been a year and they don’t have anything to say about the job that I do. Even though, why am I feeling guilty? I shouldn’t, right?

I work as a city clerk in a rural Alaska village. There isn't much economy, but there's enough. I moved here because my wife is Alaska Native. In my job I wear several hats. I'm a financial manager, landfill administrator, and grant writer, as well as other things. It's just me. My boss is seven different people that make up the city council. Oh, and every month, I have to provide a report showing the financials and what I did since the month prior while getting critiqued about why I did or didn't do something. It feels like I'm having an evaluation once a month, where I have to explain myself and justify my actions. Aside from that, I never thought I'd have a job like this, the job is fucking perfect for me. It's perfect because I'm very politically engaged and ideologically fit for work in local government. When…

Ugh. So my work has a game they started or are starting. Everyone must write down what they are giving up for Lent. If a person fails to uphold their commitment, they need to take someone out to lunch. I opted out. Mainly because I’m not religious and this feels wrong in the workplace. And also, it’s literally stupid AF.
