Month: April 2023

I hate my job. I work in sales for a big tech company and I swear it’s slowly killing me. I’m disabled, my main issues being MS, autism, and chronic pain, but there’s a bunch of other things too. Working is hard for me, and finding a job that I’m compatible with is nearly impossible. I can’t work full time hours, I can’t work nights, and I can’t do 8 hour shifts, at least not consistently. Every job that I can find near me is either full time, night shifts, or basically the exact same job I have now, but in a different hell hole. I can’t even do remote work because my internet is so slow at home I can barely watch YouTube. I need to get out of sales because the pressure of making people apply for credit cards they don’t want or need is exhausting. I’m happy…

I'm quitting my job that's been stealing our tips to cover their franchise fee. Have an interview today at another local place. I'm a single mom in school and this is how I make a living, barely scraping by, while the owners live in a mansion and own multiple luxury cars. Honestly when is enough enough for these types of people? They also commit immigration fraud by having BOH on student visas working over legal hours and just pay cash, pocketing the difference and not paying taxes. Wish me luck today so I can finally quit and tell them to go eff themselves.

Has anyone here worked in a work environment that wasn't toxic? If you have worked somewhere with kind/sane/fair people and practices, please share!

Y’all I am so tired of working 40+ hours a week and still not being able to keep up with expenses (bills, groceries ect.). Why is it too much for employers to pay enough that we can afford to live off the income? The whole reason any of us work at all is because we have to in order to survive. But even working we STILL aren’t able to survive. I’m so tired. I don’t know what to do. I want to give up. Everything feels so hopeless and out of control. It should never be like this. My mental health is in the trash. Nothing I do is enough. Why can’t employers just treat people like people and fairly compensate for work done? Nobody should work full time and still not be able to make ends meet. I feel like unaliving is the best/only option anymore.

I had approved vacation time. During that time, my itinerary changed. I had suffered a shoulder injury and saw a doctor. I sent in a note to my boss/HR and she sent me 4 emails about why my travel arrangements had changed. When reminded that personal time is personal & her harassment is unethical at best, she said her curiosity was more important. I asked for the handbook, went through every rule that she broke & sent it to the CEO, along with my resignation. It was 2 pages of documented harassment, belittling, and bullying. I once texted my boss a question at work and was yelled at about cell phone usage. Two weeks later, a person complained that I would suddenly run to the bathroom. I had the flu, but wasn't allowed to use my phone. I asked a coworker a question & was told I am never to…

Has anyone else experienced this over and over again? You start off at a place and they have an okay workload and you feel decently secure and like you could stay there for a while. And then over the course of working there it's starts to get way worse, like management making a bunch of decisions that make things harder for you, management changing convenient policies because one person abused it (WFH, stuff like that) starting to micromanage the whole team more and more. Like no matter where I work, no matter how hard I work, no matter how much you try not to make mistakes, it's never good enough. And here I am realizing I'm going to have to go through finding a new job again after 2.5 years because it's becoming unbearable. I guess this was just a vent. But it just feels like every time I find…
