Pension by the Balls
So I am quite valuable to my company and basically said I want a raise or I am leaving even though I really don't want to. I am pretty certain they will give me what I ask to keep me around. Has anyone ever had any luck getting a pension out of a company that never offers them?
Work place Issue
Sorry if this isn’t something to be on here, but really need to know from other people point of view on this. In my own personal prospective. I have felt that he has always picked on me with everything, especially if I’m doing something he doesn’t like, even to the most minor things. (Example: Clicking the button multiple times for the water to fill up the dishwasher) As there been times, clicking the button once has not made the water fill up the washer. His attitude towards me, is very poor. Feeling has if I’m not intelligent enough to do my job properly. Also riding on me for everything, and comparing me to himself and others. So this eventually builds a lot of stress has it constantly continues through the weeks. On February 14th 2022, Monday night. Sand, as usual proceed to keep his attitude towards me. When he asked…

Is there even hope for me?
I live in a growing city, near a few colleges. I couldn’t finish college because of struggles with my mental health. The recent graduates (of undergrad and graduate school) are struggling to find jobs in their field, and working grocery stores and fast food places in my area. I just lost my job only source of income. If the doctors are working at my McDonald’s, what is an autistic dropout supposed to do for money?

Nursing job vs Nursing agency
So I'm an LPN with a Diploma from a tech school. Currently it's school, working towards my RN BSN. Been an LPN for 7 years and have various fields of experience. From geriatric nursing home type of work to currently clinical dialysis setting. Our workload has been increasing rapidly with no additional help from additional staffing. Our company keeps saying it's because people don't want to work for us. Well with our current wages I can't blame them. I've been with this company for 4 years and have only seen a raises adding up to of a little under 2 dollars. And this was during the height of COVID. Nursing agencies have been increasing and nurses have been quitting in droves for what these agencies are offering. Pay is basically almost double depending on what cases you pick up. I'm posting here wondering if there are any nurses here who…
