I am legit having a mental breakdown..

F(25) I work for a nonprofit as a marketing, communications and office coordinator. I also do some I.T. work for the company. I was originally hired to do some marketing and video work but then they saw how well I did the work, and they promoted me to full-time. This was the biggest mistake of my life. I was made full-time as an office coordinator doing the work of three or four people…. Everything that goes wrong falls consistently on me. If there is no milk in the fridge. I am to blame. If I do post social media posts fast enough or get landing pages, newsletters done fast enough. It falls on me. Currently, I am sitting in my car having a mental breakdown because I am just in so much disbelief. I just got promoted six months ago and I am treated so poorly. They gave me a…

Airbnb – as expensive as hotels, hosts can review guests, charging you cleaning fees and expecting you to do the cleaning, driving up house prices, prejudice against users, hidden ‘rules’, unregulated, lobbying nightmare. It’s a sharing economy company that needs to die

Airbnb is like the Netflix of holiday rentals: it doesn't care about its customer base anymore, and yet charges them evermore. I hope this will lead to its downfall, even if it has had a huge boost during Covid. Scams are widespread on the website, despite demanding that you provide a picture and proof of identification. Here's an article I found describing just one scamming ring, where they've exploited Airbnb's lack of controls and anti-customer policies. God, I love Vice and investigative journalism. For those who don't know, Airbnb operates a bit like a social media company: despite YOU paying THEM money, the host can rate YOU as well. It's ridiculous. It's been demonstrably proven that guests leave too nice reviews (we're psychologically less likely to leave a bad review of someone's house than a company). However, this is not the case in reverse: in my own experience and research,…

Real question: DO ANY OF YOU HAVE AN ANSWER? Has anyone, figured out an answer, to our societial problem? The pyramid?

I've spent the last 5 years creating a solution to our problem. THe pyramid. Everywhere we go, It's ” the mutha fucking pyramid.” >You've got a boss, you've got employees >Kings, have serfs >Relgions, have followers But no matter where you go, both physically and conseptually, there is this fucking pyramid. No matter what happens, as long as psycopathy & narcissism exist, as long as control over another exists, a pyramid will form. So, does anyone have an answer? I ask this to play devils advocate, because this year, I'll be releasing that answer, that symbol. It's not a pyramid, but it's just as simple any everything can be based off it. When shit goes down. And it already is going down. For those that don't know. There have been HUGE bank failures. Many of us that know have been watching a plane crash in slow motion. Right now, there…

What 6-12 month illness should I tell my work I have in order to leave on the best terms?

I am sick of work. It’s literally killing me. I am at a breaking point. My doctor is giving me a pass for mental health because it’s an abusive misogynistic toxic job…. BUT the job market sucks, so what can I tell my job so there’s a possibility of me coming back in 6-12 mo? Or at least have a good reference if another job calls? Still pretty sure I’m not coming back but I want there to be the possibility of that in the future so I don’t panic about job hunting before I’m better. I don’t have to tell them my exact reason for leave, because it will be unpaid and I’ll get short term disability so I don’t need to show them any paperwork. Also, there is basically nonexistent HR, so I can’t rely on laws and rules to protect me when it comes to references, etc.…

I got fired today, and I don’t know why.

No real reason other than, “we are going in a different direction with your department”. That's the only sentence, no elaboration from anybody. I was the only one who got let go in my dept. My only thing I can think of is that they did hire a new guy for the dept. and didn't tell me that it was actually my replacement, which is why they just kept it at “going a different direction” and offered me severance pay for the month. The severance seems like they want a good end to the relationship, rather if they wanted to fire me for a malicious reason like they thought I was stealing or something like that. Thoughts? Anybody else have an experience like this? I just want to know if this seems like politics, or maybe there could be like something going on in the background? That way I can…

Not Offered Benefits

Hello all! Hoping to get some guidance here. My boyfriend works at a small family owned business and deals with oodles of bullshit from them that corporations wouldn't be able to get away with. One example is his place of work has two locations. They each generate the same amount of revenue and both do the same things. The people who work at the other location are a whole clique and, if the leader of the clique quits, the whole staff will walk. Due to that, the other location gets EVERYTHING. They were paid 55 hours throughout the whole winter while my boyfriend and his coworkers were struggling to hit 30 hours. Because the other location was overpaid over winter, now both locations will not receive any bonuses and all OT opportunities have been taken away… Point is, my boyfriend just found out, after 2.5 years working for the business,…
