Month: August 2023

This is probably not the healthiest or most helpful post. I work as a physical therapist in an objectively ideal enviroment. Flexible managers, good schedule, 4/10’s (which allows me to take a midweek break). Good patients (for the most part). But I dread going into work everyday. I hate when complications happen. When I park my car I am counting down the minutes until I can go home. But I feel like I’m supposed to love my job bc compared to my colleagues… I have it pretty fkn good.

SO, I interviewed for a car Wash position at Buc-ee’s. *If you Live in the south then you definitely know what Buc-ee’s is. If you don’t, there basically all over the South in honestly probably some of the biggest gas stations in the US. When I arrived, it was already interesting because they told me to go straight to the car wash area not the main Store. They had the car wash shut down that day, because they were putting in new tracks. So they had me wait outside while they finished another interview. I found it interesting that what look like either a HS kid or at least a young 20’s Adult was operating a very powerful welding tool. Like sparks flying everywhere and everything. Just found it very strange that they would allow a regular employee to do this. After waiting 10-15 minutes outside the interview before me…

Left a company that had been taken over by the Feds for another job that promised me a full time position after this contract work was completed. Was not explicitly promised but I took the job with alot of assurances made that they would keep me on as long as I did nothing wrong or crazy. Well, exactly 2 months later, I was laid off due to “budget cuts,” which makes no sense because they literally just hired new people and never once told me anything but how well of a job I was doing. I'm so pissed!! Had I just stayed at my previous job, I would have 1 – made more money ($4 extra per hour and not spent money on public trabsportation to get there and gotten severance when eventually we were all let go) and 2 – I'd still have a job today!! Those mother f-ers…

I just started this job 4 weeks ago. My dad works here and he got me a position assigning tools to workers. I am currently doing tons of house renovations for my mom at the house im staying in. My house has been a complete mess for over a month now and I just want to finish cleaning and putting it back together. Today is my fourth 12 hour shift and I was extremely happy and looking forward to not having to do another 12 hour shift for 3 days. Now my coworker is asking If I can do another tomorrow. I literally want to kill myself. Like I am contemplating going after work and finding some way to do it. Just the thought that this is more than likely going to happen almost every week is unbearable. I can't quit because the money is too good. I just need…

First off: not in the U.S. Second: English isn't my native language Bit of background: I'm a registered nurse. I was hired by a private hospital on December 2019, along with other experienced nurses to cover their gaps; and then Covid happened. For two years straight, we were ran ragged. No raises, almost no days off, being at their beck and call. People started quitting left and right due to burnout. December of 2022 I'm fired/laid off, to avoid a mandatory raise. On February 2023, I start working as a delivery driver (delivering medical supplies at patients' homes), which is fine because I worked as delivery driver throughout university. Fixed schedule (Monday to Friday 08:00-16:00) and 10% more money (plus the occasional tip). The only “problem” in my new job was that on the beginning of June, our route manager (the woman managing our appointments) left with maternity leave. Boss…

Yep, you read that right. After an initial phone screen and 30 minute call with the hiring manager, I get an email saying that I’m advancing to the next round and that they’ll need approximately 6 hours of my time. Honestly, as much as I want the job, that’s so ridiculous imo that I’m debating just dropping out of the interview process…

I worked at this company for 2 years and during the course I was overworked (literally everyone in the team was), underpaid. I underwent a surgery and within 2 days after the discharge I was benevolently forced to sit on my laptop and finish something ‘unavoidable’. I was completely burnt out and quit. Cut to 7 months down the line my ex boss reached out to me asking for a favour in the city I was in at that point. Considering the good will I had, I obliged. One thing led to another and I agreed to work on just one account. Had it in writing that I will not take the raise I should because it was only one account, the MD agreed. In addition to this, he also agreed that whenever I get more clients I shall be compensated accordingly. Within a month other employees started reaching out…

Our company had Our company had some very bad reviews on Kununu, something like the European version of Glassdoor. The reviews were really bad, but as someone who works there, I can say that they were definitely realistic and real. Human Resources then asked kununu to delete these reviews with somw flimsy reasons, which they actually did. Then HR wrote a few more good ones. After that, the average rating score rose and we were therefore named one of the top 10% employers by Kununu. HR then bought an advertising package from kununu including a Cup, several posters and other utensils that promote us as a top employer. They are posted everywhere in the office now. HR is so proud and I'm sure they got a fucking bonus.
