99% of what I see advertised are literally just insurance agent jobs where they want you to sell your family and friends insurance and you won't get paid until you do so. That is not a job, that is a sales tactic. It's either life insurance, comically low paying jobs offering $14.00 or weird commission jobs where you sell people roofs or some shit.
I work remotely so I don't have to commute in, but it seems like our company doesn't care about its people at all, while keeping up the optics that they do. It's making me feel super depressed each day, like what do am I even doing? I'm not having any impact or positive effect on people. Our company is turning into a shit show where the only thing our c-suite people care about is selling the company. I've been looking for a job since January when our culture took a huge nosedive, and the job market is equally depressing if not more so. I just don't even know what to do anymore. Anyone been feeling this way?
I am leaving America for a better life in Thailand. It's with great pain I say America isn't the land of the free, we are slaves and if you're too blind to see it im sorry. This toxic work til you die and you're a lazy piece of shit if you don't wanna attitude is absolutely for the fucking birds. I'll never own a home here, I'll never be able to catch up to the rising costs. They just raised rent by 7% in NYC. The American dream is dead and I refuse to throw away another 3 grand to my bills here when I can literally spend 500 a month to get an ocean view in Thailand. In Thailand you CAN LIVE AT THE FUCKING RITZ CARLTON FOR 3500 DOLLARS.. My work is all online and I have officially given up on the slavery of the American way. Its…
Fuck you I would rather fucking die than spend half my life chasing 1s and zeros on a fucking server somewhere and still end up with a negative fucking total like everybody else. Fuck this shit just run me over on the way to work i don't care
Yes I’m well aware that this breaks child labor laws however I was too afraid to report it because finding a new job isn’t easy where I live. I’m 17f and suffer from severe anxiety and panic disorder and shortly before school was over we had a week of exams and I was not supposed to work on exam days in order to not over stress myself. I checked the schedule and saw that I was scheduled for 2 8 hour shifts and 3 4 hour shifts. I reminded my boss that I couldn’t work this much especially with having exams those days. They refused to change the schedule and I had a panic attack on the first 8 hour shift at 2:30 and luckily the head of the store was actually kind enough to make my boss change both 8 hours to 4 hours and it was a bit…
Like the title says, I was fired at 5 months pregnant from a local company. I was the marketing manager and the reason they gave was a decrease in sales over last year. I filed my unemployment claim immediately but then fell depressed and didn’t see the email notification that said my claim had been denied. I made an appeal one day too late. They granted the hearing anyway and that happened last week. I just got the decision and they upheld the denial because of the untimely appeal filing. I’m now 7 months pregnant and the baby will be here in about 10 weeks. I haven’t had a single good lead on finding new employment but even if I did get a new job I probably wouldn’t qualify for maternity leave at this point, right? Because of my annual income to date I don’t qualify for Medicare/Medicaid so my…
Everyday since the thought first popped in my head, I always think about how much I can’t stand how long work days and hours have to be and how (at least in my field) we just have to accept long commutes. How we’re encouraged to prioritize work over personal time (and by extension our mental and physical health) in order to progress in our careers. Often the people I see higher up in my field have clearly sacrificed some aspect of their lives for work. They don’t care for family time, personal development time, they look like they’ll have a heart attack at any moment, and they drink/smoke to cope with the stress. I don’t want to end up like this. I don’t even seem to be good at dealing with the first decade of this and society says I have at least 3 more to go if I’m lucky.…
My manager is horrible to me since day 1. She never guided me for anything and instead yells at me. Yes I've also not been the perfect employee as it's my first job in IT industry and yes I make mistakes but i want to improve them and be better.instead of helping me correct them or even teaching me she makes me feel bad and constantly says how she is dissapointed and I'm horrible at my job.My manager has been so rude to me. She has never talked to me properly. Every conversation between us involves yelling from her, starting from the first conversation we had, where she yelled at me,for not doing a task which I had no idea that I was supposed to do. I stuck around because I thought this would improve if i understood the work, but even after doing everything right, if I miss a…
Last year I had a job I actually kinda enjoyed. 10 hour days, 4 days of the week, and not once did they force Overtime. It was offered and I worked sometimes but never felt like I was being forced to come in, it was only for 6 hours so we were done by noon. I left that job after a few months for a better opportunitywith great potential, but left on good terms even kept in contact with some of the employees and a few managers. The past 2 months I found myself in an absolute shit hole of a job and applied back at the job I left last year. I got a call this morning from my old boss saying they decided not to move forward with my application for whatever reason. I ended the conversation with “I'm glad leaving on good terms meant so much” Moral…
I started a new job with a big company that supposedly had a good reputation. The job was supposed to be a practical job with proper training and a fair bit of hands on work. However, after 8 months there has not been any sign of that. My job feels mostly like being a glorified secretary, with me mostly taking minutes of meetings, submitting documents and other admin stuff that requires no brain function. Its boring and soul sucking. I've received no certified training as I was told I would. I haven't even received basic training in company operating systems despite them being quite complex. Nobody ever has. I hate the idea of jumping between jobs so quickly but I don't see anyway in my head how staying would do me any good. I'm at a critical point in my career and this was supposed to be for advancement but…
