Seriously, why fucking message me nonestop questions on Indeed only to ghost me on the day. At this point I am just spam reporting jobs that do this shit so that they get taken down from indeed and leaving reviews warning other applicants about it.

I work at a fairly big gas station/truck stop and we usually are short staffed, i ended up coming down with the flu during my shift and it progressively got worse. I threw up, had difficulty breathing, turned pale, and was shaky. My manager told me i couldn’t leave and i had to stay on register. I tried to ride it out until i couldn’t and ended up calling my sister to pick me up since i couldn’t drive. It infuriates me that my manager valued making the job a bit easier for her to the detriment of my physical health, at the moment it feels like my lungs are under a vice grip and my body is aching all over.

Employers make getting a job these days a fucking nightmare with all the forms and bullshit you have to put on your résumé. What are some good (but anti-work approved) hacks to make this chore slightly more bearable? For example I read one about only putting start dates of previous jobs so they’re less likely to ask about employment gaps, or straight up lying in interviews. Any more ideas?

I've worked at funeral directors for 6 years. 6 years of my life going on call all for weeks on end. Any time day or night to pick up deceased people of all shapes in sizes in some horrible places. Breaking my back through covid picking up multiple people day in day out. My main boss got half the business for sleeping with the original owner and then dumping him and bringing in his new fellar, making him a manager and paying him a very good wage for literally doing nothing. Literally zero work. He just has a title. I can't emphasize this enough, literally 0 work. Anyway me and another colleague, the only 2 in the business that do everything from body preparation to directing. Going to the funerals, working round the building keeping it going, sorting the cars, sorting literally everything while they do nothing. Absolutely nothing. They…

Maybe I'm just looking for a place to complain about this, or maybe I just want to feel validated in my thinking…I don't know. But last week, i got really sick, tried to push through but my breathing turned into a problem so I had to miss 2 1/2 days of work abd get breathing treatments and meds from an urgent care. And now this morning my kiddo is puking with a fever so I have to call in AGAIN. And I hate the fact that I feel guilty for missing work again. And I hate the fact that I was trying to come up with ways to force my sick kid to go to school, but… why on earth would I, should I or could I make my child suffer? Because I tried to? Because my boss will be mad at me?? Why would I push my kid so…
