Employers should hire based on skills rather than experience or educational background

I have no time to get prescription needed..

I moved to a small town and I start work @8 here. Thing is the pharmacy opens at 9 which makes me unable to pickup my script. (They make me daily cause it’s a high ammount of benzos and I used to use drugs). I can barely and I mean barely make it through the day without them. I’d have no problem taking less money and being able to go an hour later. What are my options here ?

They are letting me go

Just found out they are letting me go in 30 days (surprised they didnt screw me over). apparently they found a designer who is also an illustrator so now he is going to somehow do 2 jobs + all the deadlines and changes which i was struggling to keep up barely. of course i am not giving them any hints “oh yeah bro im sure he can do it. oh well…” they new guy wont know all the tricks on colors breaking between illustrator/photoshop, folder locations, glytches like missing pixels on edges when exporting etc. it will be fun. now i gotta find another remote position somehow and its going to be absolute hell. so basically all this time they were looking for a designer..it wasnt someone to help me. it was someone to do 2 jobs and replace me (which is impossible with the amount of work)

Today is my last working day

I said fuck it, quit my toxic job with toxic manager and served my 2 month notice period. I feel at peace even though everyone lost their minds that I haven't found another job yet. It's not their problem. I choose this path, I will take my time to take care of myself and then figure out what to do next. I am really proud of myself.

CNA- low pay, tiring, demanding, doesn’t have much upward mobility Admin or customer service – demeaning, chaotic, usually not managed well, low pay Sales – interpersonally dodgy, mistreatment from customers and management Small business position – get ready to do the jobs of two people while getting paid half of what you should A job working under someone who doesn’t have the skills to analyze tech processes or research – get ready for tons of mind games

How do I make this work?

I started a new job while also in college studying for IT. The job is relatively easy and quiet it's from 12-4pm on weekdays and 9-4 on Friday as I don't have school on Fridays. The problem is the scheduling I don't have a car and live in west Virginia which has no public transportation at all. So I rely on my dad and he works long long shifts and I have to leave with him at 6am and I'm not home till 6pm everyday expect weekends. This has killed my mental health and my dad doesn't understand it. I've struggled to learn to drive just bc I have a strong fear of it. And now I can't study for a driving test because I have no time to begin with. The primary issue is its making me depressed there is no fun coming home and immediately getting ready for…

Is it time to move on?

I started working at my current company over a year ago. Ever since I was hired, the director has always commented that I don’t have experience. I have worked in the same industry for 4 years now… it seems like there is not a lot of opportunities at this new place since they keep saying that. I had my performance review a few months ago where I asked my manager about moving up to the next level, they told me that it is going to take awhile because that’s how it is at this place. I also asked about additional duties for other areas I am interested in/have experience with and no action has been taken so far. Since the performance review, most of my duties have been given to a coworker who asked if they could learn/be more involved in my area, so I have been training them and…

I Am Completely F**ked

I wanna support antiwork. I really do, but I'm a truck driver. One of the major tentpoles of society (or so I'm told). If all my road brothers and sisters called it quits, NYC runs out of food in 36 hours or less. Furthermore, getting truck drivers to agree these days is like herding cats. You're welcome to try, though. Can I film the attempt? I really need a laugh. My company is completely unwilling to allow me to go home unless it's for physical medical reasons. The standard DOT physical doesn't really cover mental health, and if it did, we'd all lose our jobs anyway. Just like commercial aviation, the annual health check incentivizes us to hide health problems for as long as is possible, and then ignore them for at least a year after that. The company supplies a mental health resource, but to be frank, I'm reasonably…
