Month: August 2023

I (F27) work at a startup with just 20 people, so no HR. I work here for about half a year and I’m heading one of the departments. This situation happened with another head of department that was just hired a month back, “Susan” (F, late 50s). She started really strong and I admired her confidence and even offered to help with some of her projects. All went well before I realized that I’m doing half of her work, and she’s not even asking for help, she’s demanding things from me, even though she’s not my boss, but my peer. When I started to get blocked on things last week, I contacted both Susan and the CEO (M40s) in the same thread, but they didn’t get back to me. I followed up earlier this week, but I felt like Susan just got irritated so she started sending me some passive…

Today was insane. For the most part my coworker and I really busted our butts and gave it everything we had; even in the scorching heat. Unfortunately everything went down when we had a flex of people during the lunch rush. There wasn't a moment where we could breathe as everyone and their cousin decided to stop by. We couldn't stabilize ourselves despite giving everything that we could, but it was hard to meet that demand. fast forward: the manager states that he shouldn't have to monitor morons to get the job done. My co-worker quit on the spot and contemplated following suit. This upcoming week was my final week from the two week notice and I could use the money from final paycheck. She had broken down with him and once I had time to speak with the manager I broke down. Even if I had to fight the…

So I finally get a new job after not working for 8 months because I got hit by a car. Sprained acl/mcl and hairline fracture in my knee it was a slow recovery but I was taking it easy mainly looking for a wfh job because my gf was enjoying me being home. I was in a even worse car accident where I suffered a TBI and I have been really struggling keeping a steady job ever since my tbi. I went from working at the same job 4+ years to bouncing around/quiting/getting fired from at least 10 + jobs from late 2019- present. I have definitely changed since my accident I used to be very motivated/grinder now I am very quick to come up with a lot of reasons why the job is not good. For example, my newest gig is a popular chicken finger spot … fuck this…

I’ve been looking for months. Multiple interviews, no offers yet. I applied at my alma mater for a job in the field I’ve worked in for years, had an interview last week, it went well, they said they would contact me this week. Nothing. I showed up for an interview with a different company on Monday, only to show up and be told the interviewer was out on calls. Had another rejection this week as well. I am so fucking tired of this process. It’s one big guessing game. Yes, I have had my resume reviewed. Yes, I plan to get in contact with an employment agency first thing Monday. I am just so discouraged and I don’t know what the hell I’m gonna do if I can’t find something.

The note had the contact info for another firm that apparently is doing better than ours right now. The note also said that he (the CEO that laid us off) had already called the contact there to give them his recommendations for me, also written was a starting salary window that is $5,000 through $10,000 more than I was already making is his company. Does this normally happen? I have such mixed emotions about all of this.

I really want to watch Barbie and Oppenheimer, but I want to support the actors and writers. Should I just say fuck it and go to the movies since they'll get more royalties from that than me waiting to catch it on streaming?

I currently work in a company, its a typical 8-4 job and I have worked here for around 2 months. I used to work for this other company for around 2 years until I decided it was time to upgrade and get a boozt in my career, so I applied and got this new position. This one is a bit more complicated and required a lot more training and focus than my previous job. I have ADHD and autism I’m 25 btw. It’s been hard working with other people with my diagnosis but at the same time I enjoy working from 8 to 4. I can sit for myself, listen to music, have coffee and relax while I work. I dont socialize too much as I struggle with my diagnosis + anxiety, so having conversations with my boss or other co workers is extremealy hard but I try my best.…
