Month: November 2023

I've been in my current position for almost two years. My supervisor asked me if I was interested in a position the next level up. The pay increase wouldn't be much, but there would be larger bonuses. It would still be in a same department, but I would be reporting to my supervisor's supervisor. Sounds great, but there were red flags. My supervisor's supervisor didn't disclose that the job was already posted and my supervisor's supervisor wasn't sure I was a good fit, but my supervisor had to convince this person. No way was I taking that job. Sure, it would be more money and different work, but if the supervisor's supervisor isn't aware what I do and has doubts, then I'm constantly going to have to prove myself which is ridiculous. I'm perfectly fine where I am where I get great reviews and decent raises and bonuses.

I work at a fast food restaurant in south eastern US region roughly. I've worked there over a year now. Im 28yrs old with about a decade of food work experience behind me. I am very very poor and desperate in my life, my family is generationally poor for a long time now, im also back moved into my mothers house bcus my roomates at my last place turned out to be using hard drugs.. this is why I'm at fastfood. Had to switch work wjth the move too. This means I'm hungry and desperate for things to work out and get better. And Like any abusive relationship that's a corporate job, they preyed on this. But i also made a great name for myself quick. I'm very fast, thorough and accurate on my shifts. Everything gets done correctly, quickly, and by myself on the weekend dinner rushes, id even…

I was fired earlier this week from my front desk job. It came out of nowhere, given how I have never been scolded, warned or written up for anything before and was recently awarded as the best employee. Until I was called in this week and told that I had violated so many rules that I was no longer allowed to work at this place. To call it shocking would be an understatement. My superiors kept refusing to tell me the exact rules or violations despite all my questions. I only managed to get some answers today, from someone high enough to know these things but not high enough to have much influence over them. He told me about the case back in the summer when someone had tried to pay me with the second largest bill in this country's currency, despite the price being over four times less than…

They laid off 30% of the staff 1 month before Christmas. Happy Holidays everybody! Record profits, but we are replacing you! I at least asked to walk out the back way quietly so nobody else would know they were getting canned. All my office shit is going to come in a goddamn FedEx box and thats depressing enough. FUCK.

So i’ll preface this by saying that I have only been working there for a month so far. I work at a department store in the mall called Dillard’s. I don’t quite like it for a number of reasons but the main one happened recently like 2 days ago. I was closing by myself for the first time in my department and I was running around trying to get everything ready. When I went to go turn in my paperwork for the night I noticed a group of women staring at me but I didn’t think anything of it and thought I was too in my head. After I turned in my paperwork I was walking toward the door and ran into my coworker that I had made friends with, we’ll call her S. S and I then began walking and talking together but was stopped by an older lady.…

Hi I'm new here , i just wanna ask those who quit their jobs ,what are you doing now ? And is there any freelance skill i can learn in short period to earn money online ?

This is nothing more than a depressing rant. I’m 27F working as an admin assistant at a University. I have been doing admin work for 4 years now, and I can’t lie to myself anymore, I hate it so much. My boss is great, but I absolutely hate what I’m supposed to do every day. Each task is so painful and unsatisfying. Nothing is ever clean and tidy and complete. I don’t feel any kind of fulfillment or pride in what I do, I don’t feel like I’m doing a good job. It’s so hard for me to care. My body is ruined from hunching over a computer 40 hours a week. I try my best to get some movement in my day but it’s not enough, and by the time I’m off work, I have no energy left – y’all know the drill – just enough time to cook…

They really make women jump out of the nursing beds straight into work! Sleep deprived parents who struggle to keep up with work and also just feel pain ol seperation anxiety as well as pain of missing spending time with baby, I hear you! Screw companies that in a way twist our arms to come back through sucha major life event. UK govt. for example gives one year of parental leave but then again companies get to decide how many months they pay you for it and it really sucks! I personally feel so torn between joining work and spending every moment with my little one. I really needed more of paid leave to enjoy and adjust into this new phase.

I’m so tired of being mistreated and forced to just survive as the typical individual despite being disabled. (Not “self diagnosed” but diagnosed by mental health professionals) Work worsens my physical and mental health to where I can’t stay at the same place for more than 3 months. The literal government thinks I am too mentally disabled to work and I receive “bEnEfiTs” but I live in Texas where they don’t give a single fck about actually giving anyone with disabilities accommodation, help with housing and even give you a hard time in receiving your own benefits. The only thing they have in terms of disability assistance is “helping disabled find work” a*hole. Work IS the problem. Do you know wtf disability means?? ’m hating my favorite season of all which used to give me a sense of calm. I’m paid 13/ hour to be caught up in moronic holiday…
