I’m sure this has been talked about in this Reddit thread in the past but it’s my turn now. I’m struggling, man. Like, really struggling. 2 years ago I worked at a manufacturing plant. It was hell. For over 7 years I worked for a narcissist who did not value their employees. I finally took a stand for myself and left, with $3k in my bank account and no backup plan, and no other experience. Today, I can say that I’ve worked hard to find a work from home job, which is something I wanted my whole life. Just makes things easier. The thing is… I spent months off of work, and I finally found true happiness. I felt free. I had time to spend with my loved ones. I had time to learn and work on my art projects. I felt like a person again. Now, though this job…

And I quote: “we recognise various milestones from 5 to 40 years service, and reward you with gift vouchers and a pin badge” Seriously? A badge? Being stuck in the same place for that long is hardly a point of pride to the extent that I want to wear a god damn badge. And I have it in good faith that the gift vouchers a pretty low value. Why can't we just have a bonus?

I love my job overall, but recently got pissed at my admin's decision to not let me work a double. I work overnights, not by choice, and it's very difficult on my health. I got schedule changed to attend a training during the daytime. The problem is this is in the middle of my work week, so I'd have to break up my routine/schedule by waking up early on my Wednesday just so that I can be able to fall asleep that night at a normal hour instead of going into work that night. Then after my day of training, I have 8 hours to go home and do what I have to do before going back into work for my “Friday”, which will leave me inevitably ehausted, yet if I don't wake up early on my Friday, I won't sleep that night, and my whole 2 day weekend is…

I am getting so tired of companies hiring people on as temps for management positions. And then hold them as a temp for years. Everywhere I see the companies are hiring through a temp agency now. Terrible way to avoid paying out benefits. Just needed to air that out.

You need to interview someone four times in order to make a decision on whether or not to rip them off on the cost of living standard? ​ https://preview.redd.it/ns3un4amry2c1.png?width=495&format=png&auto=webp&s=7021c5367af18f9b58054a0b13951888561ce2f5

Well. Here it goes. My boss has been pushing work (out of the defined process) and giving deadlines without any follow up on their part. They lacks strategy & even a communication cadence. They have pushed return to office and my office sucks. We have 7 people, 4 have offices. The rest of us live in these high wall cubicles with bullshit lighting and the stink of garbage overwhelming the office (were located in a basement adjacent to the dumpsters). The dumb thing about return to office is the “office dwellers” come in and sit in their offices without interaction. They want us there but there really isn’t a “why”. I’ve realized that this is simply a job. There is no advancement. My boss cuts people off above them, that is the only strategy they employ. I have zero support. I get pushed projects that are beyond my scope and…
