Month: April 2023

I'm working a tough job right now that isn't really a great fit but bills are bills. Regardless, I've been doing my best and actually decent enough to teach others how to do it too. After seeing that, my supervisor and management keep wanting me to do more and more. I've even told them I'm willing to go back down to just what I was originally hired to do because I'm stressed out. I'm not actually being paid to train people or run the team I'm basically leading now. I'm resolving issues and coaching people and doing things well beyond my job description. But I'm being paid the same as all the new hires and the people I'm being tasked with watching over. My health is starting to become a major issue. And I don't think they care at all. They smile and joke with me. But I'm doing four…

I really need this job. Interview tomorrow. Any tips?

… after working 7 hour overtime. It was not explicitly stated ANYWHERE that I was salaried. I was told this was an hourly position. I'm absolutely fucking livid.

I have multiple mental health issues and I decided to quit, I work for a staffing company and I provide services to a company in the US. My boss is amazing and I talked to my operations manager about the reason why I'm quitting, since the job is actually great. Of course HR just sent me an email saying they are “surprised” about my decision to quit given their “upcoming plans to expand the company”. F them.

Accounting for inflation I’m effectively making less money this year than I did last year. I went above and beyond for this company. Who’s got fun way to tell them I quit?

I handed in my notice today. It was a difficult decision for me because it was my first job out of grad school and it felt like a dream job I could build a long-term career in. Unfortunately my manager is a micromanager who can’t stop sticking their nose in my work and picking bones with me even when I’m delivering results. It wasn’t until I quiet quit (I was still delivering results but withdrew socially and shut down all talks about career development) that they suddenly began love-bombing me. Too little too late bitch. When I handed them the letter they legit began tearing up and telling me how much they “respects my work ethic” and “depended on me for xyz” and how I’m “welcome to change my mind anytime”. Like, oh sis, NOW you respect me? Where was that respect when you publicly berated me for being sick…

hi, sorry if this is completely the wrong subreddit but it’s the closest i’ve found relating to an issue i need some help with, basically i was wondering is it possible to be demoted over taking time off that was approved with a doctors cert for my illness? for some context my manager has recently been approved for a relocation he’s been after for six months and hes now going to work elsewhere in the company and has been out of work here for about a month leaving us pretty stuck without a manager at all as it was very short notice and no replacement had been found. i am the assistant manager, but only for a few months now and i’ve yet to complete my training as we have been constantly too understaffed to spare me to train correctly. I’ve had two managers quit on the spot before this…

… too much damn work and time to keep re-writing my fuckin' resume to put in “hot key words” for a God damn ATS to reject my shit anyway. Too many bullshit cover letters “required” to answer stupid questions like “why should we hire you, what makes you the best candidate??”. Hundreds of applications sent to get ghosted or rejected. Then I read an article from the WSJ stating majority of job postings are FAKE because it's “advertisement” to make it look like the company is “growing”. Now you have this new bullshit advice about “nEtWoRkInG” which really means, you have to KNOW SOMEONE that works for the damn company to get hired. How many barriers does it take to get a job? Keep customizing your resume. Put in the God damn “key words” because it's you against a fuckin' machine. *Keep revising that fuckin' resume to look like the…
