Think I’m gonna go

I’m so stressed out living off my credit cards and I can not for the life of me get anyone to call me even for an interview. I’m starting to get panic attacks because I’m nearing 15000 in debt. Wtf is going on with this world. Think I need to either disappear or lose everything.

Employer pushy about advancement in company

I do very well at my job. I always get compliments and praise. My boss thinks this means I should “move up” in the company to a more leadership style position. I don’t want it. I don’t want more responsibility. I want to continue to be great at what I do and clock out of work when it is time. My balance of work and family is very important and I don’t want to compromise that. Of course, if I had the financial means, I wouldn’t work at all or at least take a good sabbatical. I hate the idea that the if you are good or even great at your job then you must do more, have more responsibility, and that you should move into management. I get that most people want to climb the corporate ladder, but I do not have that desire nor hustle. Just needed to…

My work is hurting my mental health

I work in auto claims, and it’s really busy right now. On top of that, I’m also planning a wedding. Needless to say, it’s been a stressful time for me. I could usually handle all that, but on top of that, every phone call I make is a fight, a manager escalation, or people are just plain rude to me for no reason. I have the highest customer service metric in my unit, so I know it’s not me, but why the hell do people think it’s ok to treat me like a doormat just cause I’m a disembodied voice over the phone? I literally spent the last 10 minutes sobbing after yet another call I got where the customer was rude and insulting my intelligence for absolutely no reason. Management is doing absolutely nothing to help relieve the case load or back me up on these calls. Is there…

Its been 8 months and my boyfriend STILL cant find a job…I feel like a failure to him.

Hey there, I'm a 21 year old male, who lives in apartment with my boyfriend. We have been here for a year, and a half now. At first things were great, we both have amazing jobs, and make good money. Until last year my boyfriend quit his job. It was worth it though since that job was super toxic, and the owners of the place didn't really like men. It was an all female worker restaurant, and he was the only male that worked there. Anyways, he worked at Victoria's secret for a couple of months but got laid off since he was working seasonal. After that it was the beginning of 2023, which was super hard to find a job then. We weren't in any rush since he had a lot of money saved up from when he was working at his previous job. He kept looking, and looking…

Manager refuses to adjust clock in times, I quit immediately.

So to start off, my former manager at Grain and Berry Carrollwood location in Tampa Florida makes angry rants almost every day over Band while doing next to nothing diddling around on her computer till her shift ends. -she refuses to adjust clock in times when people forget to clock in, which is actually illegal. Know your rights. -she verbally abuses her shift leads behind their backs. -when we had an employee who is a minor who sexually harassed our male employees, she dragged her feet for 3 weeks before laying her off instead of firing her ass The list goes on. I couldn't take this shit anymore.

Is it a good idea to work in a job where you are paid well, but learn and do very little?

Ok so is that a good idea? I love that but the other part of me is afraid what will happen after a few years. What would happen if I am fired and I need a different job? Can I lie and make up work and projects that I did?

I got crucified for not tipping or daring to suggest it should be performance based.

I go home (USA) every summer as I work abroad. Each year I feel a bit more disconnected to the US. I met friends for breakfast at a cool little spot we used to get breakfast tacos at. This year it seems they've switched to a QR code menu, so no waiters. At the end of the purchase they ask for a tip. I sort of look around myself and wonder who I'm tipping, so I press “skip”. My friends were appalled, one said “what if they spit in your food”. So we're being held hostage now? Second time a bartender at one of my old favorites simply poured beer from a tap and hurried on to the next customer. We maybe said two words to eachother past the order. The bill was $28 for me and my friend after a few drinks and I gave her $30 and told…

Tech company that has been calling itself a ”start up” for over 5 years fired 80 people.

A couple of weeks ago a tech company I used to work at fired around 130 people seriously slashing their workforce, and this is the second time in a year. These dweebs literally completed a round of hirings just 3 weeks ago and then proceeded fire 90 percent of new joiners and a massive lump of the experienced employees. Pls keep in mind this is a ''we're family'' type of operation. I hate this shit. Back when I worked there, they would stop stocking the kitchen with food items because '' we eat too much'' but then these executives fly in and have 700 dollar lunches. GOD I HATE THESE TECH LORD SCUM. Outsource everything, automate everything, the client suffers because the service is worse, the employees suffer because they live in a toxic culture of never feeling secure in their job. The worst part is realizing that the people…

Fuck. Employer lied

I was hired at a company under the title Accounting Assistant. I have only accounts payable experience. They have 2 openings in AP. My resume only shows AP work and the recruiter knew this. I said in the interview I HAVE NO AR EXPERIENCE!! I started Monday and now I’m being forced in accounts receivable. I have no experience in this. I hate and they refuse to train me saying I told them I do AR. I have tons proof in my correspondences that I only spoke about AP. These assholes said I put AR on my resume. I pulled it up….no such thing is on my resume. I said put me in one of the open AP roles and they are fighting me. This shouldn’t be legal!!!
