Month: September 2023

I recently lost my job, and I'm feeling pretty devastated. The reason cited was attendance, but I had always been transparent about my situation. I have a disability that comes with long-term side effects from radiation treatment, affecting my bowels, urination, and digestion. I had communicated this to my supervisors, even providing a comprehensive medical history report. Last week, I missed a day and had to leave early on another day due to severe health issues. My supervisor asked me to come in earlier for the rest of the week to make up for it, which I agreed to. However, the next day, during my first break, I was called into an office and told I was fired due to attendance. I can't help but feel like this was targeted, especially considering I had informed my supervisor about my health and the delay in seeing a physician due to waiting…

So, I called out today claiming to be sick. 1st time in 6mos. My boss must have looked me up on social media and went to my wife's FB (I'm private, she's not) and found a pic of us posted today out for lunch and sent a sreen shot of it to me saying “sick huh…. We'll talk Tuesday” …. Who goes that far to search an employees significant other ? I feel like I have a fight against this just don't know how to argue it. Or do I just shut my mouth and take the punches? Lucky for me I'm in a trade where im high demand. I could literally have a job tomorrow if I wanted to leave. I'm willing to go to war for what's right but I'm no lawyer…. I suck at arguing

I (28F) am choosing to spend my LDW in to ensure I am best prepared for a demanding project with a client all next week. I keep zoning out thinking of what I would rather be doing with my day, but if I don’t work, I will really be screwing myself next week. I am just tired of wasting my youth and beautiful days on my job. I don’t want to go back to school or learn new skills or interview for a different job. I just want to enjoy my life.

Not gonna say I love going to work. I think it sucks that I spend hours out my day making more money for someone else but it doesn't mean that my life has absolutely no meaning. I hate the American capitalist society that we are living in but it doesn't drown me from the moment I wake till the time my head hits the pillow. Seriously though, I keep seeing posts from people who just can't cope. What the FUCK? Get up and do something! Start a union at your work. Start taking action to make yours and others lives better! Don't FUCKING WHINE!!! Get up and do something about it.

A friend of mine (let's name his Bill) started to work in one huge railway company in IT department. There are 10 people, who are responsible for web page and tickets buying service. And the whole department work is done by one guy. A friend of mine says, that this guy, let's name him Jeff, is very smart, calm, friendly and the best specialist that Bill ever met. Bill learned a lot from Jeff. And Jeff is very religious person. However the company exploit him and his work and Jeff is extremely underpaid. He always works overtime. He is only programmer in his department. Other people are managers, hrs etc. Of course Bill was wondering why Jeff is basically in “slave” position. After conversation during lunch, Jeff tells Bill, that his religion prohibits him from changing work place at his own will. He believes that God gave him this “opportunity”…

I've been going back and forth constant doubting and overthinking, like is it good career path to choose or not. Have I made a wrong decision or something. Because I don't even have backup plan. It's been months since I've talked with my advisor as I don't get any of my concerns resolved. It's very frustrating and overwhelming going back and forth. I'm just feeling like a failure in college at the point. It's been 3 years in community college like it's too much. Majority of people already transfer to University to pursue their degree while working a job or doing internship. I'm here sitting like a homebody constantly worrying and stressing but no action has been started. I don't want to be perfectionism but due to my age, I feel like taking risks or making mistakes then getting behind once again feels like I'm going to commit some crime.…
