Month: March 2023

Just by saying no I quit I'm not doing that and No I'm not taking your slave wage job for no money.This is more powerful than following the boomers out dated rules that only give power to the elite and big corporate.

I work in a 9-5 office role (mostly from home). My team have a Whatsapp group chat for touching base about sickness, if we’re running late, etc. It’s usually fine, but my manager has taken to texting us at really weird hours (10.30pm) because something is ‘urgent’, with the expectation someone will be happy to log on and deal with it. Sometimes she’ll message me directly if I don’t respond. Which I never do — I always say I was busy/asleep — but it infuriates me to have to receive these texts because I don’t want to think about work when I’m not working. She’s also done this when I’m on holiday leave. How do I politely tell her to piss off?

I've been working two jobs for the last 8 months. And it is definitely time for me to quit one. I feel bad though, because it isnt a big company and my boss is raking in cash or anything like that. And I feel like I'm screwing him over. I'm struggling to meet demands and I feel really shitty about it, even though I know I'll be turning in my two weeks on tuesday… I've been doing pretty good so far, and moat of my metrics are green but this past week and next week are KILLING me Fuck big corporations, but I feel bad for the people who stay whdn I leave. And I know it'll take months to fill my position again

I do not want to work at all but I need money. I’m neurodivergent and a lot of jobs are too much for me to handle. I’ve worked in a restaurant, some social work, and I’m currently a cashier. I experience burnout very quickly and find myself starting to fall into episodes of dissociation when I’ve been at a job for over a couple months. I need to find a job or a less traditional source of income that can work better for me. I feel so overwhelmed and I don’t want to have to think about this. But I know I have to find something because I can’t handle my current position for much longer. I’m hoping someone can give me some advice. Maybe some legit companies that will hire entry level for work from home positions, jobs that are easier for autistic people prone to burnout, or non…

Hey there guys, bonjour tout le monde. I've been part of the protest in Paris for a week now, and although it's really getting more and more difficult (the police, the tear gas, the failed attempts at dividing us…) I'm still pumped, and so are millions of us. In fact, we're already organizing a next wave of protests with people who were not around (so the millions of us who did can rest a bit) in order not to let this thing die down. I often come to this subreddit, since there's a lot of kindred spirits around, and I simply wanted to say something: You people can definitely do as well, if not better than us: you have the numbers, you have the guts, the vision, and the will to do it, there's no way you don't with everything your government is making you go through. It's not about…

I've been with my current company 3 years and in that time I've gotten a single 3% raise. It wasn't too bad because my job was easy and I never had to go into the office. Now we're being tracked and my manager has become a raging asshole since the end of last year. I just felt like I wouldn't mind working harder if I could get paid more. So I started applying hoping to practice and not expecting any offers because I hadn't done any interviews since I was still a student. I got an interview and it went relatively well. The hiring manager called and I thought it was to offer me the job. He asked what salary I was looking for and I didn't expect the question so I said I was open. He then asked what I made now. I make just over $72k but I…
