Should you consider quitting your job if your boss overshared personal information, regularly interrupted you by sharing trivial/irrelevant information, glorified stress, and pressured you to attend Friday drinks with their family, making it difficult for you to work under them?
(Please pardon this rant format I am just at my wits end.) A gallon of gas is about $5.19, I get $20/hour. I have a Bachelor’s degree and I’ve been working full time since graduating college. I’m 22 and will not be able to afford rent unless I make a minimum of $30 an hour (unless rent keeps increasing) . The things keeping me at my job is that I’ve made connections here and I have full benefits + I am in a union (it is also good experience). But I cannot live on this pay whatsoever, I plan on living with my parents for a few more years. How do you guys deal with this? I am constantly considering leaving this job. I always thought I had a good amount of money saved for my age. I have about 40k saved up now but these savings will be depleted…
When I was a kid, I was told about the American Dream. A dream where the streets were paved with gold. A dream where people can be like King Midas – Turn their rags to riches With just a little bit of elbow grease. But I have a question: Who’s dream is it? Is it the landlord's dream, Because his tenants are paying $1,200 for a one-bedroom apartment? Is it the loan servicer's dream, Because the college student just got shackled with $40,000 in debt? Is it the one percenters dream, Because 40 million people are living in poverty? When I was a kid, I was told to college so I could see the world. But the world came closing in around me. My student debt became the walls of a 6X6 cubicle. I am so tired of living in other people’s pockets. I am told that my labor and…
I hate it so much. It affects everyone way too much. It fucks the environment cause of people being forced to travel, often in cars. It causes unnecessary traffic jams since most people enter work and leave around the same time as each other. Insane stress from traffic and feeling pressured to wake up extra early to eat and shower before you leave. When you come home you are exhausted because of traffic and can’t manage the stress. Traveling after long day of meetings and caffeine can lead to unsafe driving. You get shoehorned into living in areas close to your work. If, like me you work in a field where jobs are concentrated in certain areas (AI for me. So Bay Area, California); you have little say in where you live. For as good as California May be. Not everyone wants to live there. I’d much rather live in…
How do you get out of mandatory OT? I looked into my states laws (Illinois) and as long as they pay us time & half and give us one day off a work week it’s all legal and you can be fired for refusal.
I'm 30, I remember going in for a PT job and telling them my availability and them going “kk sounds great!” and only working those shifts a week and hours. Or, saying I'm only available on specific days and times, and that was fine. Now it feels like companies need you to be free 7 days a week for any shift? It makes no sense. They only end up giving you 1-2 shifts a week, but you have to be open to ANY day. How is that really part-time? I'm in Canada and have been noticing this. I work a FT job Monday-Friday and just wanted an evening or weekend gig, but it's VERY difficult to find it seems.
Lmao I hate it here
He gets paid 10,000$ an hour. Who needs that much wealth? And they gave me a 30 cents raise after 2 years. Won’t even pay me 20$ an hour which where I live would be a suitable wage to live and save.
