I left public accounting to work in industry for a year and hated it. So I went back to public as a tax manager but had to leave after 14 months there because of a medical condition. It took a year to get better so now I’m back in the job market applying for a tax manager position. I got this message on indeed within an hour of sending my resume. How rude is that? Couldn’t she have just deleted my resume if she didn’t like it? Why take the time to send a candidate a message simply to insult them? Sorry but it irritated the fuck out of me. What the fuck is wrong with some people.
I am 13 years old. I didnt feel like going to school tomorrow ao i asked my dad if i could just have a mental health day and not go. And i dont remember his exact words, but he basically said “for the rest of your life you will get up in the morning and regardless of how you feel you will go to your job and work. Working is your purpose in life. People dont want to work, but they still have to” so i just got down to my room and i can barely see my keyboard because my eyes are blurry from tears, as i realise that i will spend the next half century as a will-less slave to society. So i have come here to ask for help. Please tell me what i can do to have a self sufficient life and not have to get…
Recently, I’ve had a coworker of mine misbehave with me multiple times for absolutely no reason that I can think of. My only interaction with them is when I go to give them their lunch break of 20 minutes, twice a day. That’s literally it. Their misbehavior includes yelling at me at the top of their lungs, calling me names, passing rude comments as I walk by and a few other methods of being very aggressively rude. I have notified and complained to my boss about it every single time and he has not a single care in the world except to just give me additional work and literally say the words “I don’t care”. Keep in mind this coworker is a temp, super junior compared to me and also works at a lower level on the company “ladder”. I happen to like my job. I also complained to HR…
I don't take drugs, so I'm not worried about the results. But I don't want to give blood. For context, I'm a pre-med university student. I have a lot of severe mental issues, including anxiety and agoraphobia. They're so severe that I only want a remote job, and I plan to take as many online classes as possible so as not to leave my room unless I need to. I know this isn't really healthy, but I'm more comfortable this way. I got offered a position with ProScribe, a remote medical scribe company. I just did the phone interview, and the lady said I need to do drug tests. For $9 an hour?? I hate getting my blood drawn, last time I had to I cried until I started gagging from the raw anxiety and panic it makes me feel, then passed out (from about 6 mL). I asked if…
i have made very little progress wage wise over the last 10 years. so i have mainly focused on “upgrading' my comfort levels.. better schedules, less physical work, less stressful environment etc.. but you really cant escape the poor wages any more. i have not been able to “climb rank” in any of my recent jobs. the few raises i did get have been so minor the cost of living quickly made them irrelevant. and with how quick and easy companies fire/lay off, etc there is zero job security.. so uprooting and trying to relocate is extremely risking.

Illegal questions in a job interview
I had an interview yesterday in which the interviewer asked my age. When I told him he responded “holy cow you look young!” I thought this was weird but afterwards my boyfriend pointed out this is illegal to ask. I was also asked other inappropriate questions such as my race, if I am vaccinated and even asked if I have children and then later the he said I'll probably want kids in a year or two. When I said no I don't he responded like I'm crazy and he said “I thought all women want children.” The job is physical labor and he commented on my body type as well which I found uncomfortable as he said multiple times that I am “petite.” I was offered the job and I'm not in position to pass it up but the thought of training with this guy makes me uneasy. Where do…

I quit………..
No more emails No more coffee No more details No more breaks Except for this one I’m about to take
As the title states. SO sick of all of these jobs saying you have to submit a 3-5 min video explaining why you're right for the job. My anxiety goes through the roof with video stuff. It's ridiculous and bullshit. Why do they need a damn video to determine if they want to interview me?
