I see lots of posts here saying not to put too much of yourself mentally into your work. However, I have a hard time doing this as a teacher, as I feel it's part of my job to worry about strategies and the well being of my students. Don't get me wrong, I know the “do it for the kids” is bullshit. I'm a worker in an underpaid job. However, I also feel bad because I do like my job and I think I am a positive influence to at least some of the students. Long story short: How to manage stress and “caring” in a job where just saying “fuck it” will have a direct negative impact in the lives of kids/teens?

I don’t know any details to add. I’ll start with some basics. First time working under a grant. I didn’t think to do my own due diligence on position salary/wage. I accepted less than what the typical rate should be. Yet under the grant it is stipulated that pay should be at the same rate as the other positions within the company, that I am not. I only found out because a job listing went up and I got an email from the websites that notify with jobs in your field so it was totally accidental. I’ve notified my supervisor and she notified hers last Monday. They said they would do a budget adjustment. Has anyone else been in a similar situation? Is there a place to to report grant violations? Edit: working in the U.S. In healthcare.

I turned my back on office jobs last year after being fired for not turning up to the office after being in a car accident that was not my fault. I did a total 360 in direction and now work in a nursery looking after little humans. I am a guy so I am the only male working in the place, always kinda loathed the company of other men especially in the workplace. The little humans are so happy to see me and there is no other job where I have my name called over and over because people want to play with me, want my company or justbwajr a cuddle or hold my hand. That offsets the crappy management which I have come to realise is a feature of almost every employment. I work 4 days, 30 hr week. After tax I take home £15,400 ish a year. I…

I'm talking about me of course Silly of me to listen to all the adults that said “put in the work now so you can live easy later”. I put in the work, and the best thing I achieved is financial insecurity and getting thrown into the absolute hell that is modern day job searching. I sacrificed my childhood, teenage years, college years, and early adulthood for this All the sweet little lies I've been told. It never gets easier, does it? Why did I think that it would? Once I get a job its just going to be the same shit 3-5 years later. You could be the most skilled and intelligent person in the world and can still get rejected because you weren't a “culture fit” because you breathed wrong during the interview or some other superfluous bullshit like that. The fruits of your labor? That doesn't exist,…

Have jobs try to make y’all come in to “weekend work events”, especially without pay? My company wants me to organise a day of fitness of hiking on a Saturday morning at 8a., without pay; and want me to manage it – nahhhh. 1.) I’m Jewish and I keep Shabbat moderately, and 2.) these people aren’t my friends. I don’t care to be around them besides work, especially without pay on a mf Sat morning. They got mad when I told them I’d organise it but I’m not going loool

I work in hospitality, specifically hotel hospitality and we recently had a meeting regarding “handovers” and how we should show up a little early to ensure that we can get up to speed before our shift starts and the other staff can depart from their shift on time. Don't get me wrong, great idea and my manager specifically said it should only be 5-10 minutes which im more than happy to do. ​ However, a couple of days after that meeting. My coworker kept looking at me in a disgusting way, which i ignored. This went on for a few more days before she eventually took me into one of our vacant meeting rooms and said “Me and (the manager) are upset that you are not committed to the handover schedule we set in last weeks meeting..” and begins bereding me for not showing up “At least 30-45 minutes before…

My son got a job working at a factory out of high school to help out since I am disabled and my wife (his mom) got cancer. He is now going college and wants to work 40 hours (does not mind factory work) but every job he has applied to says M – F 40 hours. Then goes in for the interview its 5 10s and mandatory Sat and Sunday. 4 Jobs he interviewed for have all done this and he just says it wont work with college. I used to work 70 hours a week and that is why I have a busted back and nerve damage. He does not want to end up like me.
