Not sleeping. I can't sleep well before work. Dead end job. Quitting soon because I can. Fuck them. I have never walked out on a job without notice in my life. This one will be the first one. I stayed too long. I am angry at them and I am also angry at myself.
I was recently offered a job at a hospital to watch patients 12 hours a day 3 days a week first shift and have four days off. I currently work at John Deere and work 5 days a week and will be on third shift. Absolutely hate working at Deere. Hopefully people don’t see me as crazy but I’m stressed out after being reduced from my original work to a shitty department. I own my own home and own My cars I have no debt. Have about 180k saved and have a 630$ pension from Deere. Property tax is 300$ a year and home insurance 600$. I own a 484 sq ft house.
First time posting here, I’m a student working in a minimum wage retail job and for the past month I’ve noticed the work environment is pretty toxic. People talk shit about each other much more than I’ve seen in past jobs and earlier today my manager inadvertently texted me calling me “fucking useless” thinking she was texting another coworker. They have also refused to work with me on scheduling around my university schedule and have scolded me for switching shifts with coworkers because management scheduled me to work while I was literally sitting in a lecture. I can’t take it anymore and need to focus on my education, I don’t even feel like putting in my two weeks. After finishing my shifts this week, I want to ghost them and never return but I feel a little guilty for this. Should I feel bad and stick it out for the…
So there’s only 3 of us in my department (open 7 days a week), and one just quit. He will be gone at the end of the month leaving only 2 of us until they take their sweet time hiring a replacement. And the other guy is taking a vacation 9/7-9/29. So I’ll be stuck working those days by myself, plus my normal days and cover the guy who quit. That means I’ll have to work at least 9/2-9/29 if not longer. The bosses aren’t observant enough to foresee this as a problem yet and probably won’t hire someone else for a month or so after someone quits The question is: Should I be a smart ass and be “out of town” 9/6-9/9 before anyone notices? So I take PTO 9/6-9/7 and be unavailable on my weekend 9/8-9/9. This would leave them without anyone for 2 days and then maybe…
We recently hired a new technician through a temp agency. Something seemed so off about him, and out of curiosity I googled his name. The first link at the top of search results was to a news article about a recent child predator sting that led to the arrest of two men. I opened the link, read the article, then scrolled to the bottom and saw his mugshot with his name and age captioned underneath. I asked my supervisor if we do background checks and she said that technically the temp agency is responsible for that. I feel absolutely sick to my stomach. The thought of this guy running residential jobs or a service call at a daycare or school is nauseating. I hope my supervisor does the right thing with this information and informs management we need to let him go immediately. I don’t feel comfortable working with him…
I was laid off late last year, and I had an opportunity come up (one that I was finally interested in and excited about!) and I went through 5 rounds of interviews, including a panel interview and a project. It’s now been almost a month and I’ve followed up twice and both times I was told “they’ll get back to me when they have an update”. Why WHYYY is it like this?! 🥲
ive told my boss before to not put me down for five days in a row because of how it affects me physically and mentally. she also knows that recently my body feels like its deteriorating and my legs are on fire even when im not working. she put me on the schedule for five days in a row anyways. on top of that, our maintenance man has been out on medical leave himself so we've had to pick up his work, we're understaffed, and school just started again so its crazy busy. on day three out of five i started going home crying from how overstimulated every single second of those eight hours was. on day five i ran to my car to cry real quick, came back, and had to call out three hours before the end of my shift because i had a panic attack from a…
