I got hired for the position that I thought would be a great change for me about 8 months ago. In the interview, I did ask “So why is this position open?” And the stated that the previous person just didn’t work out. I should have known at that point that the people was two sided, not one sided. I got the job, and they said that I would be working with this other woman who would be teaching me everything. It started off fine, it was pretty boring but she was nice. Then one day she seemed to be in a bad mood. I asked her for confirmation that I did something right, and she barked at me and told me that I did it wrong, but when she told me how to do the thing it was exactly what I had asked her… meaning that I didn’t do…

Just to be potentially fired because the job falsely advertised schedule flexibility. For context I recently quit my job at a dog kennel and daycare because the animals weren’t properly cared for and most of the dogs in the daycare were either super scared and stressed and/or about to snap. It was incredibly difficult to watch everyday and not worth the hourly rate especially when my boss picked on me a lot and people around me doing the same job were making way more than me. It was also made pretty clear that the boss was firing people he thought weren’t up to his outrageous standards and I was most likely next on the list.

Decided to WFH the Friday before Memorial weekend. We are permitted to WFH if we don't have to go in to meet patients. I might work from home 3 days a month at most. It's always been a contentious topic. Bosses know I'm overwhelmed with the amount of responsibilities they added to my plate last year when another staff member left. My workload was doubled. Can't hire anyone because the pay sucks. They had to hire locums just to keep moving forward. Both locums rejected the lowball offers for hire after 6 months. Company re-contracted them for 3 more months. Still no new hires and I'm drowning. Bosses tell me it'll get better. I'm committed to the work and the docs I work with. They keep begging me not to get recruited into the companies that we do their clinical trials for. They know my pay is shit. They know…
