Month: September 2023

First two screenshots are from tonight, next two are from months prior. My dad owns a few franchise restaurants, and he’s had this cashier hired since the opening of this location a little over a year ago. For the entirety of the past year, she’ll frequently have reasons to not show up, sometimes legitimate like being at the doctors. Albeit so frequently that it’s become obvious that 90% of these visits are more than likely just excuses. More often than not, she’ll have some reason to call out directly after pay cheques arrive and despite supposedly going to the doctors—will show up with a new tattoo the day after. I have urged my dad to fire this person on multiple occasions, but he doesn’t have the heart to do it because she’s a young single mother. He is too empathetic.

I apologize if this post is not appropriate for this sub. If there is a better place to post it, I would appreciate any advice you can provide. I have been bouncing between jobs due to poor health and the need for medicaid. I find myself demotivated. I am lucky in that I have a place to stay rent-free, even if it is not the safest and that I have acquaintances that I could go to if need be, but I would like to set off on my own one day. Unfortunately, that appears to not be in the cards. As I mentioned earlier, I have a need for medicaid. Although I am capable of working more, I have health issues that result in multiple emergency and urgent care visits every year. Due to these relatively frequent events, I have trouble holding employment for longer periods of time depending on…

Okay guys I’m back on here and I honestly just need to vent because I genuinely hate my job so much and I want to quit but I end up feeling bad and I just don’t know how to stop. I’ve been working this internship at a small consulting company since March (I just graduated in May). In the beginning I was only going like 8-10 hours a week but then when I graduated he wanted me to come in 9-5 M-TH and I was like sure but there was literally nothing for me to do so I just trained on random things that would be useful for the company. I also tried to grow my knowledge. He promised me a project in September but now its September but I don’t think he’s going to give me one because they’re a smaller company so I don’t think there’s anything he…

I’m scared and I don’t know what too do. But I’d like to start a conversation about some real options so we could make a new better future one that we aren’t embarrassed about cause they won’t ever stop grinding us down until we are just dust.

Not sure if this fits here… I''ve been applying for jobs (indeed and otherwise), I applied for a position on Indeed Friday afternoon. I hit the road for the long weekend to join family and friends up north and noticed I had an invitation for a skills assessment once I got to my location, no worries, I'll do it when I get back Monday. Today (Sunday) I get an automated email saying this is my 'last chance' to complete the assessment. I'm in Canada, tomorrow is a Stat holiday, literally called Labour Day. To me it's ironic and just shitty practice, or am I overthinking?

Why do these jobs think they get access to all of our free time? And do they really think anyone wants to apply for a job when they tell you up front it is going to be stressful? Long hours for no extra pay under the disguise of being “salaried” are notorious I the accounting industry and I’m tired of this being considered normal. Do better, Sola Wood Flowers.

I got a job as a waitress in 2020 because it was the only place that got back to me. Think of it like Denny's in terms of food, but not a chain. One day I was working alone (aside from the cook) and my stomach was feeling off. I assume I'm still hungry and it's just because it was late in the day when I was able to have lunch since a rush finished. I eat something small, but it doesn't make me feel better. Barely an hour in, I'm vomiting and shitting like I'm an extra in Bridesmaids. In between this, I'm trying to contact my boss and other employees to cover me and my husband because I was barely able to stand upright for long. NO ONE GETS BACK TO ME. (Aside from my husband telling me to call him if I can't drive myself home.) Because…

For the last 6 years I’ve been in marketing consulting on the agency side and I am OVER IT. I’ve worked at 4 different agencies and they are all bad— some worse than others, but none are good. I have a massive stress mental breakdown at least once a month. I’m tired of the mental burden of always having deadlines and deliverables in the back of my mind. I’m so exhausted from the mental tax this job takes on me that I have nothing left energy-wise for anything at the end of the day even if I sign off on time at 5pm. I don’t have hobbies outside of work, I barely ever cook, I almost never work out. I feel like all I do is work, eat (usually ordered in or leftovers), sleep, and repeat. Weekends are the only time I feel any relief, and of course they fly…

Feel like I’m going to resign this month. I have had my recent payrise weaponised against me. I am doing the job of 2 people. My boss is an unpredictable snake who throws his employees under the bus at the drop of a hat. I’m on good money but it’s not worth the constant stomach aches I feel when I have to go to a meeting with him. All my colleagues hate him too and are actively looking to leave. I will be the 3rd person this month if I choose to go. I don’t even want to wait to get a new job first. Ffs.
