Month: March 2023

so tonight while having dinner with my dad he gets on the topic how I should kiss my bosses ass and show him I want to move up in the job/company by bending over and kissing his ass and working hard and blah blah blah… cause that's how it works and you move up at places. proceeding to say I have done this for years i know what makes people move up and what doesn't and makes them stay stagnant and so on. well I am thinking first off why would i want to kiss my bosses ass with no return, mind you i get it a metaphor of speaking about kissing ass to get what you want. but what do you guess all think is that an old boomer way of thinking or is that still hold weight in today's work place?

Many video conferencing apps are present. Job searchers can enter and exit recruiter or manager's video room. Savings in booking space, fuel, time for parking, set-up and break-down for before and after the event. Lots of things are streamlined. Edits:

A girl at my job was looking for more hours, so she asked if she could pick up my shift for Wednesday (tomorrow). I agreed, because I am extremely burnt out. I work two jobs and recently did multiple 14 hour days in a row. That was on Friday. We told a manager, and she said she would put the swap in the books. Then I get a text yesterday “hey girl, they realized if I cover your shift, I’ll go into overtime, so I can’t do it anymore?” Is it irrational for me to be pissed off? They let me think for days that I would have that day off. And then they’re like “jk you have to come in.” I’m pissed.

sorry long rant incoming. I work at an animal hospital as a tech assistant in an ICU. typically Tuesdays there are two assistants and 2-3 techs. each tech is assigned Xnumber of patients to oversee and my job is basically to help them with treatments, medications walks, etc. today I was holding a dog for one of the techs so she could change the bandaging that held the IV in place. She was struggling with the primary piece of tape and accidentally pulled the IV out in the process and proceeded to passive-aggressively blame ME for it by muttering under her breath “I don't know why you couldn't hold the dog still” – The dog wasn't moving. – I was holding it still – I did nothing wrong in this situation. In response, I snapped and yelled at her for accusing me when it clearly wasn't my fault. I blew…

Yesterday was like miserable for me. I was crying in the middle of meeting via Zoom (ofc no one knows) and I was in my campus' library. For context, I am a college student who takes an internship and the internship is not affiliated with my campus. I am dealing with burn out to the point that it distracts my everyday life. I can't eat, like seriously. I only eat once in a day and I can't even eat for one portion. Sometimes I bought a food but I really can't eat it until I have to throw it away. I can't focus too to the point I almost got stuck in the elevator, fell down, or I can't even cross the street properly (I didn't see the vehicles on the street). I have told my user/manager about my condition and I have said that I want to resign. But…
