So, what’s the deal with whiny managers who mock any attempt to ask for job improvements/raises?

Let me explain, I’ve worked under whiny managers who would be asked for quality of life improvements or a simple raise and they’d always respond with some smug answer. To their credit, usually the smug answers and laughter would be about the QoL improvements, while raises would be met with either “not now” or “that guy sucks, but asked for a raise” behind the person’s back, instead of their face.

Managers who schedule meetings without saying the reason for the meeting don’t have souls

Manager emailed after work hours to schedule a meeting first thing in the morning. Wouldn’t say what it was for when I asked—I’ve gotten some negative feedback about my work lately as well which I’ve tried to correct, and this has me super worried. Managers who do this have no regard for employee well-being IMO. Going to now enjoy a night of panic now. Anyone else?

The job search. I‘ve applied for 30-40 positions and had a single interview. God I wanna land that job. Only lab tech job around hiring people w/o experience. Thought I was a shoe-in with my graduate school training and a half semester in a cancer research lab. But…dozens of other applicants…

I need this. Pleassssse let me have this ONE thing. Most other positions require certifications/specific technical degrees from community colleges/etc. I really don‘t want to have to go back to school after already having returned to school in my late 30s. Let me finally begin my career at this stage in life.

I left a job due to mental health issues and now I am having a hard time getting another position

I just received a call that my name was added to an interview list in error. I have been unemployed for months now and I worry that I won’t be able to find a job because of it. I stopped smoking marijuana in hopes of finding a better job, I just want to make a living wage!!!

My desire to give 2 weeks notice is officially dead

I've been applying for jobs and doing interviews for weeks now, keeping my mouth shut about it because my boss has a habit of telling people not to bother coming back the second they hear that you're actively looking for another job. I don't make a lot, but I absolutely need every penny I earn until the universe takes pity on me and throws me a fucking bone. She refuses to hire an actual manager to run the business, but she also avoids anything to do with the place as much as humanly possible. She's only on site maybe 15 hours a week, and that's a generous estimate. She fully expects us to give more of a shit about her business than she does. We don't have a POS. Accurate record keeping is a distant fantasy, and she has no idea what her profit margins are. Break even point? Never…
