I'm able to work and what not, but the loud noise and complicated social scenarios of my job are a major source of stress. It's taking a toll on me mentally and I'd like to pursue something else. I work as a lifeguard and it's specifically things like screaming children and talking to pool patrons that give me problems. Ironically I do pretty fine in actual emergencies. Anybody have suggestions?

Jesus dude, I’m in my EARLY 20s and I’m literally living off $160 a week trying to afford rides to work (no public transportation in my area) If it werent for my empathetic, gracious parents I would be homeless, too. Because I don’t have money for rent. I’m glad I didn’t cause the accident because their empathy may be different. I was applying for better jobs right before I got in the crash too. I would’ve had reliable transportation and been able to commute for wonderful pay and better conditions, but now I can’t do that either. Im a delivery driver so my bills are paid with tips. Right now I’m not making any tips and not making enough money to survive having to work inside the store. The money I make nearly cancels out with the cost it takes to get to work. I have some ideas planned out…

The point is I have quite like years ago. I think I work there in Covid time. It was a sale job. Horrible to say the least. I even made a post about it on this sub I think. Quit after 2 weeks. And then today my ex boss texted me “So L. was absent today so please come early.” Took me a while to realize who was texting me (I didn't save my boss' number, for obvious reason) and who L. is (a girl younger than me who work part time there – I'm kind of surprise she still works there). Apparently they can't find any new employee because the job was so horrible: This couple own a online clothing store, the wife always throw tantrums, if you work there you have to babysit their kids, doing a few people's works and be given the pay of one person……

I just don’t want to have to spend all my days being productive. I want to lay down, and do nothing but read or watch videos and eat. I figured that this feeling stems from my depression, cause if I was like “I don’t wanna work, but I do want to go out and live life” then it could be more reasonable, but no, I’m just like “I don’t want to do anything at all. Just whatever makes me feel good without doing drugs”. Lately, I’ve been using my phone waaaaay too much, like, I’ll wake up, try to do homework, and end up spending all day on my phone watching whatever, and by the end, it feels like my brain is fried and I feel guilty for not doing my homework. Then, that makes me think about how much I don’t want to have to work, and… idk, I…

I was hired at this company during the pandemic. I enjoy the work, I enjoy the people, but the main draw was the generous work from home policy. I started at one day a week in office. I was fine with it since I perform a vital function that does require an in-office presence that could be done in five minutes. In November, I was brought up to two days in office. I wasn't happy about it, but I dealt with it. I was informed today that we will be moving to three days a week in the office. I've been putting in applications all day. I refuse to settle for spending the majority of my week in the office for no reason after having experienced what it's like being able to have so much quality time with my husband and our dogs. This probably will not go over well…

I am looking for jobs in my college town, mind, I grew up in Chicago where the minimum wage is $15.80/hr for tipped and non-tipped employees, its $10.10, do people really put up with this, thinking of going back to substitute teaching (I made like $25/hr at 19 doing that and the average teacher in my (home) state makes like 72k). how does one live on 10.10, after both states income tax, federal and FICA, its nothing
