The Problem With Bootlickers

Apologies if this type of thing has been presented before. The backstory is that I have a close family member that has followed the bootlicking ways so for damn long that it has simply become a reality – a fact – a truth – so ingrained in their being that there isn’t another way. They are so ingrained to the teet that it is their only functional reality — and no shit me typing this has made the app laggy and wreaked havoc with autocorrect. She’s REALLT well for herself in terms of earnings. 200k+, maybe even $300k, constantly name drops higher ups like I have any idea who the fuck they are, etc. — she has a sense of importance and duty. Not being a doctor / lawyer / some other highly sought after profession I don’t understand why her job is so engrained in her identity. She could…

I’m losing my mind trying to find a job

I’m 21 y/o and have only worked for 2 years, at a daycare. I have been trying so hard to find a job that isn’t shit pay or working at like a restaurant or something. And I just want a job to just work, not start a career, so I’m not going to school rn. Don’t even really want to work but I have no choice because America. Really have been trying to find clerical work, which I KNOW I can do. But it doesn’t fucking matter what skills I say I have. They’re always going to pick the person who has the related work experience. I sell myself so hard and get nothing. And it’s not like I’m applying for things above my skill level. I’m just so done with the system here and I want out.

After 6 months of the worst micromanaging I’ve ever dealt with, I just put my two week notice in with my company.

I want to start off by saying, that the job I currently have was an ideal job when I first got it almost 5 years ago. It was perfect! I traveled to various cities, visit my local offices to make sure they are running well and perform my annual audits. Company pays all travel, company credit card, ability to work remote (since some offices are located 5-7 hours away) it was ideal in the beginning. But fast forward to 6 months ago. We find out a very well known manager within the company was soon taking over our area. He’s not known for any good reasons when it comes to his employees. He’s had 14 people quit it step down in 5 years. Initially everything was fine, we did our jobs, buildings were running, no issues. He then started to bombard me (out of 3 employees) about my every move.…

Many need to work extra just to cover the basics but I’ve found the closer to the basics I live, the less I need to work, the more content I am with life and my job.
