Month: November 2023

I have this co-worker. this man is the most obnoxious person I have ever met. To the point it is driving me crazy. But first, a little background: – I used to like my job. A relatively cushy night shift job at 12.5 hour shifts 3-4 days a week, with a long stretch on every 4 weeks of 6 days in a row. – this individual has been with the company for 22 years, lives alone, and is in his mid-40s. -Until recently, the shifts would switch of positions, and we'd work with opposite personnel every few weeks. This man is one of the most annoying people i have ever met. His entire personality revolves around 3 things: Disney, the Beatles, and Wrestling (a fake sport). he cannot shut up and will talk my ear off about these topics (of which i do not care for at all) all night…

I didn't get employee of the year AGAIN and tbh although my coworker who I found out has won is a great worker, it feels like a slap in the face. I found out also I wasn't even in the top three choices yet I'm the sole reason my department gets stocked and finished. Literally, I'm solo. There's a small store party tomorrow where we'll get paid and also a $65 gift card and tbh i don't want to go just to look stupid and feel like I'm never enough. Am I being petty? Should I go? Sidenote: my coworkers are cool and the bosses aren't terrible, bit pedantic and whiny but the environment is decent. I just feel like being the only poc (BF) there plays a part because we are scrutinized more for little things (research it if you don't believe me) and also the verbal thanks aren't…

My boss was constantly monitoring my clock in time and making others watch me my first weeks of work. When I logged in late on a remote day, an HR vice president immediately started calling me and started acting very aggressive with me. I felt very distraught and quit because I realized I was in a hostile work environment and could not deal with it anymore. I can’t believe my manager gave my phone number to HR. I wish I could curse out my manager. I didn’t get chances to say anything, I quietly quit and left

I was a little drunk earlier and composed this letter to the DNC. I sent it on their website. Right now I feel legit scared the government is going to come after me or something. I’m probably being paranoid but was this TOO strongly worded? Posting here bc idk where else to post. Like I am actually freaking out rn so any opinion is helpful lol The letter: I have grievances with the Biden Administration that I would like to share. The country that you (the DNC) claim to represent is home to so many Palestinian Americans who have family in Palestine fearing for their lives. Your neighbors, or people you have personally spoken to, people you see in the grocery store, have family who were brutally murdered or are going to sleep every night unsure if they will wake up to see another day. I am not Palestinian, but…

My boss celebrated my 5 year anniversary with me and my team last week and then served me with a PIP the next day. I'm not completely unsurprised, as this last year has been an absolute struggle for me personally, but the whiplash is insane. For context, I work in a small medical office of about 10 people. I am crosstrained for two full positions and I had to learn pieces of another role when we lost a vital team member last year. From August to January, I did my job, financial duties from the person who left, and during the holidays I covered the second position I am trained for when that person was on vacation. My only backup person, our office manager, was out sick for a month and i kept the front desk rolling to ensure patients were taken care of. I also trained two different candidates…

I'm only being paid 15$ an hour from this crap job and they cut my hours last month btw, for no reason but this takes the cake.

I’m a salesman for and industrial supplier. It started off I nice job and everything was great. Then I got “promoted “. Really the manager left to pursue their own dream and the company just needed to fill a spot so I was pushed into his role. I am essentially running an entire business unit by myself. I do everything from selling, delivering, ordering, purchasing, and AR. The responsibility is way too much for just one person to support. I was promised I’d have an employee hired to help out but it’s been over a year. I’ve interviewed candidates that were great and told management they need to hire this candidate and they never do. I suspect they just don’t want to pay another employee. I personally get paid like crap, only 43k per year. Was told I would get commission but the commission structure is a joke. The biggest…

I'm on disability (Canada), and I have a hard time holding onto work at all, or even doing much in-general. I hate the thought of work, and always thought I was the crazy one because of this. I have a YouTube channel, and am making tons of music, have a mental health show that I'm working on, and am in the middle of writing an episodic radio show that is inspired by Welcome To Night Vale. None of this pays. It's really expensive here. I'm relying on family for my groceries, but they don't have much either. Working is really an issue for me, and not because I hate it, but also my symptoms. I need to make money. Not because I want to live a glamorous life, no. I just can't survive without. Disability is supposed to dramatically increase, but they mentioned that in 2020, and I'm still in…
