I’m looking for a new Job (not very anti-job) but it’s a means to an end to pay for my own business. I’m just thinking of the best way to tell my manager who I get along with that I’m going to be going soon? I get along with her and the team relatively well but the jobs shit and they already struggling for staff. Just wondering what the best way is to go about it

I recently graduated college with a degree in psychology. I graduated a year earlier than my class with Honors and I'm taking time off right now because the burn out has been awful. I got a full ride because both my parents are immigrants and didn't have money to send me to college. So all my life I've been working my ass off. Got my first job at 15, have been working every day since, and managed to go through college debt free. Usually, people would congratulate me and then immediately ask me what I plan on doing next. But I'm so burnt out and exhausted. I'm currently volunteering and spending my time volunteering in a different country to help me feel something different. And it's been amazing! I volunteer and get food and shelter in return. But now I don't want to go back to the USA. I know…

I saw a lot of articles about how they were going to get “paid in exposure” and the following pushback, but I have yet to read a follow-up.

I'm gonna start with some background. Sorry in advance for any spelling errors. English is my second language and I'm on mobile and long story. I started studying civil Engineering in the Second half of 2020. An year later, I tried to sell a notebook I was not using anymore and this chick asked If I could Go to her Workplace for her Boss aprove the buy, since the Company was the one paying. Since It was near home, I agreed. While I waited for them to decide If my notebook was good enough, the HR Guy started talking with me (small Company, the chick was sharing the room with him and some other emploees). He asked what I was studying and I answered. He said that maybe they'll open a internship position in my area and asked for my resumee. Luckly I had a digital version on my phone,…

In the modern “developed” world is typical that most of the time you will get your favorite job or whatever with a specific graduation or your history of grades in school being checked by the employer , which is in my opinion stupid as hell and sometimes discriminatory, because you don't get your dream job because of a F in maths even though it will never be used in that field. Employers should concentrate more if the person really wants the job and not because of his report card or whatever, this type of system needs to change because like me my dream job is a police officer but I can't be one because of my D in maths and what not , but I definitely would do the job really good and would enjoy it, because of that I have to work in a shitty warehouse just to fix…

I was termed a few days ago, and I’m really worried about how it’ll affect finding another job. Any time I google it, the results all unanimously say to disclose it in the interview. My concern is that it would be a huge red flag and automatic turn down, regardless of how I explain it. And it occurred to me that these search results could be from corporations who want to know because it’s in their best interest, and not from experienced human beings giving actual advice I was thinking about telling them I still work there and that they don’t know I’m looking elsewhere so I don’t want them to call. But I also recognize that if they find out I lied, that’ll certainly be an automatic turn down. This has been the biggest source of stress on top of the genuinely traumatic experience of being fired – that…

Its a fact that less people are working, and many have resigned. It seems partially due to people not being willing to settle for shitty working conditions and pay anymore, and to realize life can be more meaningful. It seems like that would be a celebrated thing on this sub?
