Month: July 2023

I have been at my job for 2.5 years. It has been nothing but soul crushing. This job has made my anxiety shoot through the roof and cry many times. My boss and office manager make the job very difficult. I had two things happen today that just pushed me over the edge. I can’t stop thinking about putting my two weeks in tomorrow. If I did leave, I would put all my effort and energy into looking for another job and going to temp services. I won’t lie and say I’m not scared crap less that I might not find a job within a month. I do have savings to fall on and an awesome partner to help me. I’m not sure if I can keep doing this. My mental health has been affected greatly since being at this job. Is it totally idiotic to leave a job with…

I am employed with a company where I work remotely from home 95% of the time. On occasion, I am required to travel to job sites for various reasons, usually at least 1 or more hours from my home. I have been trying to research and find an answer to my question: is my travel time from my “home” (really, office) to the job site compensable? The answers I’m finding vary, but for the most part I am seeing that your “normal, regular” commute is NOT compensable. I work from home; therefore, my “normal, regular” commute is zero. So in my mind, anything beyond that would be paid travel time? If anyone has any legal resources that paint a definitive answer to this question, please send them my way! TLDR; what is considered compensable travel time when you work remotely/from home?

Sometimes I passive aggressively complain about work from time to time, probably because pop culture and television have conditioned me to believe passive aggressively complaining about work is just the norm. People (family) keep telling me to go find a new job if it's that bad. But I never say it is, because it's not. I'm just exhausted and bitching because that's just what I thought was an average life when I was growing up. The only issue is a rift between my boss and myself about whether or not performance should outweigh punctuality when determining whether your year end review constitutes a raise (at fucking all) or not. As you might surmise, I'm losing that battle (unjustly IMO because I am the only shipper, the guy who makes sure every customer gets their product on time, but that's beside the point). I've sort of given up fighting that battle…

During the school year, I am a teacher for my local school district. And during the summer, I have to find a job to supplement my income. I don't really like the job but at the same time I don't like to be broke either 🤣. At my teaching job, I always get a 30 min lunch brake plus a 1 hour planning period. The lunch brake and planning period has givin me the luxury to breath and calm down through stressful days of teaching. I love teaching but man, it can be stressful sometimes. At chick fil a, they only give out 30 minute lunch brakes. I know I shouldn't complain about this but for me personally, I just wish the lunch brake was a little longer. There have been times I'll be making sandwiches for 2 hours straight and my brain will be fried (no pun intended) after…

im for real, i work 50 hours a week between 2 jobs so i dont get over time at all, 25 of those hours are dealing with Karen at a drive-through window and the other is in a hot ass dish room with so much steam i cant even breathe. after all of this tho…I DONT EVEN HAVE ENOUGH TO SURVIVE

Every year we are given videos to watch that cover various safety and ethical topics. It's the same videos every year, but I digress. Usually the videos and associated tests have to be completed by the end of September. This year they made them due the weekend before I have to be back for in-service. In other words, outside of my contracted working days. Not going to happen, I'd they don't like to they can talk to my union rep.

I am working a seasonal job (been there for about a month) and requested off 2 days (unpaid) to go to a wedding. My request was denied. I am absolutely going to this wedding, so I'm wondering what I should do. The schedule will be released on Wednesday. Should I wait and see if someone will cover my shifts? Or should I just go ahead and put in notice? I don't really need the job, so it's not a big deal. I just feel bad quitting after being put on the schedule as I know my work friends will be the ones having to cover.

Some employers can be so mean to their employees; it's as if they cannot recognize their hard work. It's so disappointing these days

Posted this in the sub correlating to my job and got downvoted by corporate dink lickers. Got demoted at my at my job for “calling out every Sunday and letting the team down” even though it was like two Sundays and I had a note for one. Have a possible fracture in my foot. Job is demoting me to a more physically demanding job. I said no. They said “you have no choice” But…I have feelers out for three different jobs in the mere hours since getting demoted and the SD that demoted me is in hot water(with the Union) for wrongly demoting/firing other people. Trying to think of the best way to quit/ghost them.
