Month: September 2023

After being treat like shit for month and I told them I'm quit a job and they start being nice to me. But I'm gonna quit this job anyway. Any suggest to tell them before I go? Lol

I’m at my second week into a part time sales role. Me and two other employees just started – all at the same time. The company has a stupid system in place where all learning related information, including stock levels and client information, is only accessible through a work phone. The other two workers who started at the same time already received their phones last week. So I’m stuck here having to ask senior members, who are not the most patient people in the world, for assistance when others have easy access at the tip of their fingers. Management are aware I don’t have my phone yet. Oh and I signed my contract a month before the start date lmao so what’s the excuse?

I’m here to vent my frustrations with the state of the job market. I’ve got not degree, just some trade school training. I work hard wherever I go; honestly, I always try to go above and beyond against my better judgement. None of my effort in the last 16 years changing jobs has gotten me anywhere that even closely resembles financial stability. I’m considering leaving my current place of work because I’m tired of being passed over for promotions as well as seeing those promotions go to friends and family of higher ups. I’m searching again. And I’ll I’m seeing is is 10-16$ per hour listings. All this while hearing morons spew rhetoric like “no one wants to work”. Compounded by the fact that even if the pay is just good enough I have to spend more time at work to make that money than I get to spend enjoying…

2 months this peice of shit we bought hasn't been running. It never runs its been a constant problem and outdated before we ever bought it. They constantly get it up and running for a week or two then it breaks again. We are horrendously backed up well its finally running again and they just expect us to drop what we are doing and work 7 days a week to catch up. This isn't my problem they can out source the work like they had been doing or ship things late. I have plans for the next couple of weeks and I fear that they will force overtime and I just can't make that kinda thing work. Last week I worked 62 hrs over 6 days and alot of people have worked 7-10 days straight. I won't can't do this i shouldn't be expected to do this mental fatigue is…

I'm a so called hybrid salesman meaning I do both Outside and Inside sales. Most days I do inside sales but once every so often I travel on the road to see customers. It rotates as well what cites and customers I call on depending on date. Well, couple weeks ago I had a sales run. I had made a list of custies to call on, and I had already made that list as small as I could because lately, with new CEO, changes and mainly just general work and US life induced depression, I've felt less than motivated. So most of the sales calls were in yhe same city. I got there. Made four calls, three of which the customers were out of the office and I just left my card. Got to number 5, nobody there. I said fuck it. I bought lunch, looked up a nearby park…

Hi friends, I have been a child protection worker for the last five years. While the job itself has always been a little stressful, the last year or so has been the absolute worst of my career. I truly fell in love with the field of child protection. However, I recently started therapy and my therapist feels I am demonstrating symptoms of PTSD and burnout. I keep holding out hope that things in the child protection system and support for the workforce is going to get better. However, this job is impacting my marriage, my own emotional and physical health, and I feel like I no longer know who I am outside of social work. I am also struggling with new laws in my state that appear to disregard child safety in favor of parents and what parents want. It does not feel like child protection anymore, if that makes…

We work at a rep's office of a nonprofit a registered 501c(3) in Asia. Pre-covid there used to be 6 staff members and a resident coordinator, who acts as the executive officer. 7 people in total worked in the Asian country. There is an official CEO, who oversees things from USA with the board as is the case with 501c(3) nonprofits in the US. Now, there are only 4 staff members and no resident coordinator. That's 4 out of 7. We're almost at 50% capacity. And we worked like this for over a year, the remaining staff filling in for the vacant positions, often taking work home and going the extra mile to keep the operations of the nonprofit running. Note all staff were hired from locals and are paid above average pays compared to other locals. Our peak activity is during the summer and we have had massively successful…

Your employer doesn't give a shit about you. Act accordingly. NEVER give 2 weeks notice! They would fire you in the blink of an eye. Do NOT let them know where your new job is because they will sabotage it. Take your fucking breaks. People fought hard for the few mandated rights you have, don't give them away. Don't give in to peer pressure of other workers the employers have broken who give their rights away. Don't be afraid to point that out. Talk about your salary if you want to, it's legal despite what your employer tells you. They don't want you to compare notes, you might form a union. Never request time off, INFORM them you're taking time off. Despite what they want you to think, they are not your parents and life is important. They don't own you, they rent you. Don't be afraid to point that…

I just need to vent for a seconds I hope this fits the sub enough to be kept up. Every single day I go to work I feel huge waves of panic and stress. I can't get over the sickening feeling that not only is working like this day in and day out is killing me, but I feel that no human really wants to be doing this, yet we all pretend that it's the way things are supposed to go. Sunday nights and Monday mornings are the absolute worst for me, I feel physically ill and want so badly to run away from it all with my partner. The real kicker? This job is the best paying and least physically demanding I've ever had, but money only goes so far when a third of your life has to be spent in a place you hate, doing tasks you know…
