Obviously you can see why This subreddit calls to me. I just need help in finding out recourses to make better money or make money while only working minimal hours. Working adds to my depression, I can not separate myself from work i have had this issue for many years (26) It hurts me to be inauthentic and to noticeably be socially ostracized at work because I’m just not mentally in the same theatrical act as everyone else at work. I can not eat it up or suck it up or have tough skin anymore I am mentally beat and one way or another i Psych myself out and leave jobs because the pressure becomes overwhelming and ontop of that the knowledge that this is how i have to spend my life with little to no support to actually extend on my passions hurts me greatly i am on my…

Looking for advice/info from other Texans or those familiar with Texas labor laws

I work for a smaller retail business (just under 100 employees) with a few locations in San Antonio and some in a couple other cities. This business has made some changes of late, basically taking away all of the things that made me overlook things that I believe (based on my non-lawyer understanding) are against the law and violating employee rights. The first thing is that they use the fact that different store locations have different tax IDs to say that's why they don't pay overtime if you exceed 40 hours between two locations. Same company name, different brothers own different stores, but each one can make decisions about any employee. When questioned about it, they explained to me the tax ID portion and said that was just some of it. They failed to explain the rest. My understanding is that even just having the same name qualifies as joint…

Worst coworker you’ve ever had the displeasure to work with?

On topic with my last post here. Who's the absolute worst coworker you've ever worked with? I quit today partially due to the kook I work with so I'm genuinely curious on everyone else's experience.

Annual performance review time after I was emotionally abused and intimidated by a hostile coworker since last April and management gaslit me until he did it to another employee too lol

I’m actually the second of three of his team members he’s targeted. We’ve reported him to our boss and her boss at least a dozen times for abusive outburst, yelling and swearing at us when we’re alone with him, throwing things, posturing, just so much aggressive and passive aggressive behavior it’s crazy. Our managers never kept a paper trial and asked US what we wanted them to do about it. With the newest coworker he exploded at they said it was “the most afraid they’ve ever been.” I told them this has been going on for over a year and our boss and her boss keep telling me this is normal and ignoring it. I was told “this isn’t couples therapy” while the male coworker he targeted before me wasn’t told that. My newer coworker went way up to the top of HR and we all went through a retraumatizing…

Rush Hour Traffic and Work don’t mix

Does anyone else get annoyed at work after spending hours in traffic trying to get to work. Like the same thing I do at work I can do at home. So I’m already annoyed to begin with when I make it to work. On top of that I only have like 10k in my checking account. So I’m already annoyed that I’m not rich. Advice on how to stop getting annoyed at my boss and co workers. I get highly frustrated when they tell me what to do to. As if sitting in 2 hours of traffic isn’t enough. And then you tell me I’m gonna get more work load under my belt. How is everybody holding up?

How to quit with no notice

I’ve been at my role for almost 2 1/2 years. I work with kids K-5 and am burnt out, but also cannot stand my boss anymore. I am scared to quit with two weeks notice because of the manipulation and emotional abuse she will do. Our relationship has crossed too many boundaries that I feel stuck at this place. I know doing this will burn the bridge to a reference, and to be honest I’ve been a stellar employee the past two 1/2 years, but I’m willing to give that up. Some examples of the unprofessionalism (I admit I shouldn’t have participated in some of these, but I was young and wanted the boss to “love” me. Bad idea.) Invited me over to her house (while I was working at another job) to drink with her and another coworker. I was underage. She took me out for a birthday dinner…

Check out spineless non-apology from Clearlink’s bully CEO who praised employee for selling dog

It says a whole lotta nothing. The 50 accommodations referenced are only for 30 days for the most part. Also, his brother is the HR director. Clearlink’s parent company Foundever has been totally silent on the entire matter. https://www.vice.com/en/article/wxj574/ceo-celebrates-worker-who-sold-family-dog-after-he-demanded-they-return-to-office
