Month: September 2023

That's all, short rant. Really need to find a better job soon.

I cried at work today, how unprofessional am I? I (22F) recently joined a fast paced company as an internee year, today marks my 8 month being here after being given a permanent position. During my tenure as an internee I was always applauded for being self-sufficient and being able to work without supervision despite it being my first experience. I got used to that, and continued the rest of my journey the same way, operating and managing without a hitch. Today, I could not figure out a relatively easy task that I would normally understand (it was monthly process, so I've done it a few times). I tried an hour and decided that I should ask some help, as my manager was in the HQ of the same city, usually he coordinates with me regarding any tasks he assigns me and I do as told. I explained the situation…

I'm thinking lately, maybe I should end my fucking life at this point? See, I thought school was shit, but holy hell, it was infinitely better than adulthood. Currently I'm a charter school teacher, deep in debt as all idiot graduates are, like plenty of young fools I also did nothing of value in college and then the last year I could've got an internship COVID happened, and then I still didn't intern during the pandemic year. Didn't even get my fucking license during the pandemic year. In all honesty I feel like an absolute fucking failure and loser. I remember being in high school and mocking the idea of being a teacher, I'm living my worst life. Now I don't have the time to even get a driver's license anymore whereas I did in HS. I don't have time for things like new job training. I'm just out of…

Anyone else gave up on the corporate ladder. I use to give it all and do 200 percent work. I do work that is beyond my job title, however the only thing I get is merit points, but no real increase in money. It feels like a scam to work hard in a company. Now I do work proportional to the others around me so as to not be fired. And I adapt to the baseline amount of work depending on the people around me. There's no point in burning myself out if I'm not gonna get hard reward. Fuck merit points, it's just recognition and praises to make you work harder. I wasted my youth, and health all these years with nothing much to show for it, and not enough to afford a decent condo in which I own. Basically I hate wage slaving for the landlord and the…

I won't go into details about specifics but my country of residence so as to not spark some political debate but just to give an idea, these rights are enjoyed by many Asian countries: I thought this was important to mention: If you want to take days off, no matter what season or how high busy your company is, the employee needs to give 15 days notice only. Once the employee gives 15 days notice, the company MUST accept the leave request and give days off. Rejecting this is illegal (less than 15 days notice can be rejected though) 30 days a year paid vacation. By law a minimum. Additionally, we also have approximately 15 days a year of national holidays that are considered days off (besides the normal weekend). And you can absolutely, by law, take all 30 days of those vacation together and even merge them with other…

I do a bit of side work. However, now I am starting to worry that my side work and hustles might be found out and company might take action. It is a fairly good company and I am happy so far. But what would be best way to approach this situation? Drata installation is must.

Don't want to go into great details on where I work because I would not put it past someone in the company to see this and this point. However let's just say we deal with used cars and have a hard on for the color blue. It all started in the winter of last year when we had our corporate team came down to have our yearly talk with our location and said in the same breath “you did great this year but we do have some tough times ahead of us.” Werid thing to say but whatever. Then in the dead of winter it came down the pipeline that hours where getting cut. Nothing to crazy to begin with enjoyed the extra days off since winter is so dead for us. During alot of the off time our office put alot of time in “deployment” and when it was…

I got fired this morning because I have been taking home food for the past 3ish week’s almost every time I’ve worked. Problem is, I’ve never been told that it was against the rules. They just decided to tell me that I was fired and banned from the premises, due to me stealing food. I have yet to tell my roommates, because one of them is my sister. I don’t want her to immediately suspect other shit happened when it didn’t. It’s just how she is.

My job is great. It’s the highest paying job I have ever had and there are so many benefits that I feel extremely lucky to be in this position. My problem is with my coworkers. From my first week of training, my trainer aka my supervisor made many inappropriate comments. She made comments about my weight along with racist and transphobic remarks. While they all weren’t directed at me, it was still upsetting. My coworkers also make incredibly inappropriate jokes about clients. I held all of my frustrations in for a month as I’m the new girl and didn’t want to rock the boat. I ended up reporting my supervisor to HR who told my Director. Director then told supervisor. Supervisor then pulled me aside for half an hour to tell me that she’s sorry that I feel this way and that I shouldn’t take things so seriously. She also…
