So I can't work due to my mental health and I feel extremely lazy and guilty for not working.I was just wondering whether anyone has any ideas of things I could instead of working that will keep me productive and make me feel less guilty

My boss is a contradictory, confrontational sort of person. Self-proclaimed Meryl Streep from Devil Wears Prada. I made an honest mistake that she fixed with a single phone call before I had even packed up my things and left the office. On my way out she demoted me to intern, told me “you were just an intern and your time with us was done this weekend anyway.” She said it so casually, practically in passing, like a stream of consciousness. Next week my 3 months probation was up and my benefits were about to kick in. The way she phrased it sounds premeditated to me, like she was planning to fire me. Does it sound that way to anyone else or am I making that up in my head? She also told me that “I’m careless, I’m not growing, I can’t be trusted, and I need to find a different…

Good afternoon everybody, Throwaway account here, for reasons that will become obvious. Earlier today, I made the mistake of asking for advice about my situation in another subreddit full of HR people. As I should have expected, they were very insensitive and rude about the responses they gave me. I hope that the users here will be more kind.

I had this weird dry skin condition on one eyebrow and a part of my eyebrow is literally gone because it flaked off. I have that small slit through it now and the hair hasn't grown back. I currently work a retail job and a lot of my coworkers and manager think I did it intentionally (is it some kind of trend?? Why would someone shave their eyebrow on purpose?) And comment on it. They say its like having brightly coloured hair. So now I'm getting worried in case it affects any job prospects in the future

I got a raise at the store where I work and they just turned around and shot up the price of things. Sure, things were already high but since the raise things are much worse. Even the junk food is higher. I'm mostly just down to just pb sandwiches for food and even that's going up. Fuck higher pay, it does no good. Keep the wage, lower the prices!
