Recruiter reached out to me to schedule a phone interview. It has been 30 minutes (which is what she said I should expect the call to last) and still no call. I emailed her 5 minutes past the start time and I have not received an email back or a call. Next moves? (I’m not super in love with this job lol).

I got fired from a job after I told my supervisor I was applying to other jobs. Unfortunately this was my first job out college, so I didn’t know I was not supposed to share the information. I have email proof of my desire to quit before I was firedand I was wondering if there is any way for me to take legal action.

Hi all. I’m a 25 year old from male from the U.K. and I have worked since I was 16. I have never had an issue with working long hours or shitty jobs as I’m used to it. I come from quite a lower class family, however, I do have ambitions. Mainly to be happy. I’ve worked a few jobs in my short time, tyre fitter, shop supervisor, sales advisor, security. I’ve always liked the idea of being a working man and providing for myself and my girlfriend. But as of recent I’ve had 2 pretty shit diagnosis of type 1 diabetes and epilepsy. Having to manage these two have taken their toll. I’m constantly exhausted, constantly day dreaming about the day I won’t have to drag myself around for 10 hours until going home to appreciate the silence. I don’t know if I’m depressed, or if I’m naturally feeling…

I start a new job today. It's in a doctor's office. The place seemed normal but the only thing that is worrying me is that the doctor said this during the interview. He went out of his way to tell me he will never yell at me while I am working at the front desk and said he “never gets angry”. Such weird statements. Almost like he's a hothead who does the exact opposite. Is this a red flag for concern?

So long story short but the company has treated me like shit but I'll likely be stuck here for a while longer. What can I do while in the office that could be useful for me personally? There's a few others here so I wouldn't be able to speak over the microphone etc, I was thinking perhaps Duolingo etc but some exercises require voice. Anything you could recommend would be great

Did anyone quit without any backup? My job this year has become completely unbearable. To the point where I am getting anxiety attacks every evening. I truly enjoyed and excelled at my job last year. I work in the media which means you oftentimes have to accept a low salary in lieu of many perks. Which was fine by me. Until my seniors realised I used this opportunity to develop my own network of contacts and I became fairly independent. So, I am – not allowed to go to events – not allowed to wfh at all – not allowed to listen to music, even though I have to work in the office next to a super loud sales team – not allowed to use my phone at all – refused a raise even though I am on a minimum wage and have quantifiable accomplishments – constantly reminded that I…
