I'm a recently graduated software developer and I'm currently hunting for a job. Porn account cause I don't want this post held against me. Shortly after sending in an application to a company, I was sent a link to a website and told to complete the tasks they asked of me to complete my job application. At first, the company asks you to make a simple website in React that uses external REST API (basically, a website that takes its data from somewhere else). This only took me 2-3 days but then they gave me a second task that I've been working on for a week and a few days, putting 30+ hours into it, and they have not indicated what the end point of the project is. All they say is that it should be less than 2 weeks of work. I'm also not allowed to make the project…

Does anyone else work in higher ed (specifically in the US)? I'm on staff in an academic role, and it can be really frustrating. I enjoy what I do, I get to impact students, teach, and support academic labs. However the pay is really crappy and I am not really able to be saving any money. I appreciate that I make enough for living expenses, but I won't be able to go to grad school without massive debt, easily move out of the area, or handle a major surprise expense. Does anyone else deal with this??

They never treated me badly per se but there were some things going on that I just didn’t want to deal with and I needed better pay and benefits and they weren’t willing to give it to me, even though they sought me for a promotion only six months after I started there. But I just wrote up a letter and sent it as an email to my bosses at the end of the workday and then just left, I know I can get an a better job so I’m not really worried about that but I have been there since June of last year and I did like the work but my depression and stuff just wouldn’t allow me to work well anymore. I couldn’t even use their health insurance because I declined it when I first started thinking that I would get a different type of insurance but…

I am leaving my job for another company this made me think how awful it's been for me, I have been working at different places since I was sixteen years old due to my birthgivers wanting me to earn my own money and use it on things I need I first earned my money at a fast food place, it sucked!! It was dumb minor things that some people would not see as a big deal, but as a teenager it was. I could not paint my nails despite being only a cashier, my shoes had to be this anti slip shoes that cost a lot (i never bought them), I had to wear a hat, and miss out on events with my friends or come to things smelling like gross ass pasta. Also the cops have been called on the place, it was mainly due to a drug dealer…

‘Morning’ sickness has completely knocked me on my arse. I’ve been off work for about a week and as far as I was aware, you could only self cert for 7 days. I called my GP to see if I could get a sick note, they wouldn’t do it and told me to just self cert for up to 28 days if needed. I know this was a thing from December to the end of January, but I thought this had now ended? Gov website says it’s back to 7 days.

be gentle my fellow redditors. I have the sad.   Heavy is the head that wears the crown Deep in sorrows will he drown Weighed deeply up’n by serfdom and worries With none to lift him in his ghastly flurries Weighed by debt, and bills and life Just one beside him he calls wife But working her own job and handling kids The job he has is to provide the bids Pay the mortgage and phone and card Keeping with the Jones’s Avant-Garde   A man’s duty is to provide While the dream inside does not abide It dies within him slow then fast His dreams at this rate will not last Some of grandeur, and others modest His abilities and skills the absolute broadest But what you dream and what you do Are twain all the way through and through The two won’t meet no matter how you try…

Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

So if it weren't for my medical issues, my job would be a dream. Decent pay, great benefits, good coworkers/supervisors, and I love what I do (I work with animals). The issue is, the pace and workload numbers are such that my body literally can't handle it. I'm epileptic and my seizures are related to stress/exhaustion. Before I got the job (started a few months ago) I averaged one minor seizure every couple months. Since starting the job that average is now up to once a week, with severe seizures happening more often as well. Last week I got ADA accommodation paperwork processed. My requests were mostly related to my hours/schedule. It all got approved within a couple days. My supervisor has seen me have seizures multiple times at work, and I've told her it's directly related to exhaustion from work… Today, after all the ADA stuff, she randomly decided…
