Hello, this is in Québec, Canada btw This story is from last year but discovered this sub after, and was wondering if I still have options or how I should approach this. I work in a primary/high school in a very remote area (think less than 2000 ppl) where I would do extra curricular activites after school, and at times sub for a teacher if they were sick/absent. However, last year, a teacher did not come back right away after christmas holidays and I was asked to sub in for that teacher for like a week or two. I had a sheet with what the teacher asked me to do and it said to do some work in the textbook with them and that was about it. Well the teacher ended up coming back four months later. During which, I attempted to give classes to the best of my abilities…

The constant overwhelming stress. The long periods time away from home to only come home to rest up to spend long period time away from home. The “this is the way things are” mentality. As time goes on, it really seems less and less with it. Save up for inflation to eat it up. Really makes you question is it worth it

A friend of mine that started to work at my job last year told our boss that he wanted to quit. Boss got really scared and tried to offer him a ton of shit to make him stay (but my friend said no, nothing could make him stay) I’m wondering if I should do the same ? To try to get some of the perks (I’m the oldest member of the company, was even here before the manager while getting no perks) but I’m afraid he’ll call my bluff (I don’t have another job lined up and need the money) or just won’t care. (My friend is a pushover, over the year of him being here, they really screwed him in ways that I did not let happen to me, so maybe he just want to keep the pushover idk) What do you think I should do ? It happened…

A recruiting company reached out to me and offered me a opportunity to fill a contract based position for a major company for a year. I’m kind of quaking, I can’t believe it, so much so I have to question if its real. They asked for my resume, availability and desired salary. Per the market value of this position I stated around $80,000/ yr and that I am open to further discussing both the pay and my availability since I already have a job. They got back to me last night and said my resume is perfect and that they would be offering $50/hr max and to let them know my desired wage. Now, is there anything I need to look out for? Ask any other questions? I’ve looked into the recruiting company and it seems legit, hundreds of reviews of a wide range of platforms, recruiter has a LinkedIn…

I wrote most of it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/antiwork/comments/t2nvwp/it_seems_that_i_did_them_more_than_damage_than/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share Anyway, long story short, I quit this job about two months ago. Since then, they keep posting job ads but without success. One guy started working, he worked for 2-3 days and never returned. A week ago, I got a call from my boss. Even though I didn't heard from him since I quit. He started asking me if I found a new job, why don't I return to them etc. I said no. Just this morning, I got another call from company. Basically, they are offering one salary bonus, they are willing to pay all this time I was out of work and they are offering a raise of about 20%, maybe even more. If I look at this offer, just from money perspective, it's pretty good. But when I think about working in shifts, bad boss etc. I don't know.

Need a new job that’s full time. I’m not a college graduate, I don’t want to spend 5 days a week, plus mandatory overtime. I’m 22, I want a life. So thanks to getting shit on by every boss I’ve had for being a good worker, I’m just gonna forever be broke. It’s ridiculous how I have no experience for anything that pays more than $14, but there’s no entry level positions, even for a warehouse job. If it’s entry level, it’s 5 days plus mandatory overtime. Although half the time, they don’t even respond to applications.

I've worked at a place for a long time. It has pros and cons but it's not work that I really care about. I get minimal raises every year but it never feels consistent with all the work I do and inflation. I've applied at other places over the years but I either don't get an offer or I do but it's not worth the change. Mental health shit makes everything harder but some days I just don't know what to do anymore. I feel like the longer I stay the harder it is to leave. Like my brain is just wired to keep working and fulfilling my obligations. I do volunteer stuff and honestly that's what I want to do all the time. This corporatist/capitalist shit just does nothing for me. Is there any hope for me?
