Client sent me this text in ICU

I was fighting for my life in ICU and my client of 10 years sent this to me. I quit and told them to fuck theirs elf. When I picked up my final check they made me sign a NDA. I hope you're doing better today , We are hoping you get out of the hospital soon and back home… we understand you just went thru hell with surgery and the the pain you have we can only imagine. You have a long road to recovery and wed being as understanding as we can be. What I'm about to tell you next is coming only as a friend, Gio is loosing his patience because at the end of the day it's business and we're not going anywhere. The traffic here is absolutely atrocious, we are at a standstill and no way or no one to communicate with. The eblast you…

My job is essentially trying to guilt me into not taking my new job tomorrow

So for context I work for a grocery store in the To-Go area, two days a week for a total of 8 hours a week. Well this arrangement was fine up until I graduated from college, in which I began to look for a new job in my field of study, which I will be starting tomorrow. Now I gave them a two weeks heads up that I will be starting my new job tomorrow, and as part of it I will be required to work alternating weekends. I'm fine with working there still as jobs are screamingly hard to come by right now, and my hours at my new job are also very awkward. So leading up to today they have been trying to wrap their heads around the fact that my availability has changed. Followed by trying to guilt trip me into not changing them because I agreed…

I really don’t know how to feel i just walked out of my job and quit today

So I recently started my new job at a grocery store. I worked front end bagging groceries. Everything started so fast and started goin down hill. The first issue I had was when I had to take work off because I’m disabled and I take psychiatric medication to keep me functional. I ran out of medication and I had to go to my doctor to pick it up. I called my boss (rickard) and asked could I pick my medication up and he said it was ok. Mind you my shift wasn’t until 1:30pm. My boss just told me to come to work after I picked up my meds and I did. I also needed that day off also to get groceries and I shop at the store i work at and when I came in he said something I can only describe as gaslighting. He said I worked from…

There is only one solution

Burn this fucking system to the fucking ground. Just stop working. Walk away. Full stop. Capitalism is killing us all, so we must kill it first. The only we can do this is to cease participation entirely. Start organizing now. This Black Friday is now officially: Just Don’t Do It Day. Don’t go to work, don’t take a sick day, don’t take a vacation day, don’t use your phone, don’t check your email, don’t set your out of office message, don’t pick up another shift, don’t shop, don’t spent money, don’t watch or listen to any media, don’t use your car, don’t use public transportation. Just rest. Just breathe. Just relearn what it means to be human. Je be.

Retirement Venting

I guess I'm just feeling resentful to those who have or get to retire soon since it is Sunday night and I'm preparing for another work week. Anytime I hear that someone gets to retire. I'm super jealous. I am ready to retire and I still have anywhere from 15 to 25 years to work. The way this world is going it will probably be closer to 25 years. Then I will still probably have to get a part-time job and die doing whatever I'm doing. I do feel lucky because I have a job but that doesn't mean I want to Go to work tomorrow. I want to retire now, stay home and buy pajamas, and veg out in front of the TV while playing my phone games.

8 hours from now I have to walk into an office where I’m openly disrespected and grossly overworked

I can’t go back into this office. I have never been treated in any setting the way that I am treated at this job. I’m not even allowed to speak to my coworkers for fear of wasting time. All the while the owner of the company sits in his chair and shares youtube videos with my boss who, if she sees me check the time on my phone will threaten to fire me. It has become a hostile and toxic environment over the past two weeks. My mental health is at an all time low. The worst part is that the company is a scam too. I don’t even believe in what we do as a business. I can’t keep working here. I don’t want to walk in tomorrow.

Team lead gives weird vibes

So i got accepted for a hardware engineering position and together with a lady from HR i was progressing with crucial documents before starting my job (starting from 1.10) and today one team member i guess its senior lead of the team contacted me on linkedin asking for my whatsapp. Is this a red flag or just kinda insecure behavior on his side?

The time and money required for job hunting partially explains resume gaps.

So many potential employers have extended invitations for me to meet them for in-person interviews. The problem is, despite the workplace being 20 minutes away, I keep getting told the interviews are conducted at Head Office locations when it could EASILY be a Zoom meeting. Just today, I was invited to an interview. The place of employment is 15 minutes from where I live. The interview, however, is a 4.5 hour round trip just so I can sit across from someone and explain why I have gaps in my resume. Gee, I don’t know, maybe it’s because it takes literally the entire day (and money to commute) for me to travel there, making me unavailable to attend other interviews. Not to mention, that there’s rarely ONE interview anymore. Usually you’re called back for a 2nd interview, a 3rd, a 4th and so on. I have wasted so much time, energy…
