That's what a random MSP from Washington DC offered me…should I feel offended about that? should I ask for more money? I'm not sure, however, I need the money and I got no options….🥹🥹🥹

I’m only 20yo and this country/this economy is killing me. I am a veterinary technician and I’m in school to get my license. I can barely afford anything. I’m so worried about the state of the economy. If prices of things just keep going up, how am I supposed to keep up? I’ve tried so many things to make extra money, but I work full time and I’m doing classes online anytime I have any free time. I just feel at a loss. Life feels like I’m just trying to survive. This is no way to live. edit: to clarify, by “this country”, I mean the U.S.

In this movie during the shootout every cop would rather put everyone’s lives at risk by engaging in a shootout with the criminals than let them escape with this banks money. Money doesn’t matter people matter. People can’t be replaced. The police put more importance on stopping them from stealing than making sure that all the civilians around wouldn’t get caught in a fucking crossfire. Capitalism once again showing the wrong priorities.

Basically the title. I work a hospital job that is incredibly demanding physically, mentally, and emotionally. On top of having past trauma and a physical disability, I decided I needed a break and gave my notice. I'm scheduled for two more night shifts, tonight and later this week, but I'm feeling so overwhelmed, overextended, and exhausted that I don't think it's worth it. I don't want to leave them in the lurch, but I also need to prioritize my health for once in my life. It's already a wildly understaffed department, so I feel conflicted on calling my manager to quit. Any advice or guidance would be more than welcome.

I totally understand my job wants all of my employees to know what to do in a certain situation in response to alarms and stuff, but it just seems it's full of trick questions or maybe I'm not cut out for the job despite me being a hardworker who gets stuff done. I recently failed the test and I feel downright stupid. Not jsut that, but also discouraged and I'm having thoughts about quitting for someone more smarter or educated to take the position. Then again, they won't hire anyone to replace someone who's been with the job for almost a year. What I'm most worried about is word spreading in uppermanagement and then my co-workers that I failed the test. It's happened before, and I'm just worried they'll percieve me as stupid or that I might get a write up. I've been doing my job and sometimes above the…

CEO’s make far more than they’re worth to just alienate a workforce. How did we get here and how do we get past it?

I could take time off from work to join a rally, perhaps, if there was one in my city. (Goes off to look for one.)
