My childhood seems like a distant dream. I had the closest of friends in school and now we've all grown apart. We used to do everything together: classes, sports, holidays, jobs, trips, court, funerals and so much more. Now I'm 26 and I can't seem to make genuine connections with anyone the way I did with those friends. People's careers always take precedence. You always say you'll link back up but it will never happen. The few friends I have now are a shadow of what I once had. Acquaintances seems like a more appropriate term. Life seems like it's moving so fast now, but it was only yesterday that all I had to worry about was what my plans were for the next weekend. Why is it that our culture encourages us to move away after high school/college and let the friendships that you developed for so long wither…

Throughout the pandemic myself, and almost all of my friends, decided that with it being a “workers market” that we would find a job we actually enjoyed and improve ourselves. I'm specifically talking about my retail job that I still work part time at. My main crew consisted of Myself, “Ty”, “Mark”, “Justin”, “Rob”, “George”, and “Leo” names changed for privacy. Retail department store got a new store manager 2 years and 6 months ago. She is awful. Does not know how to properly manage, overly competitive, and micromanages while being extremely condescending. She asks a lot out of her associates, when every other store doesn't and does much better in all numbers compared to this store. This was not the beginning of the downfall, however she has made huge pushes for everyone to finally leave. Compared to when I started 3.5years ago there are a grand total of 16…

I have an interview on Tuesday for a job at least 10k more that my current pay. I am very excited and think I’m a great fit for the position. The problem: The company I work for currently is based in the hospital where I applied. It’s in a weird off building, so I wasn’t too worried. I just got the email with instructions for the interview. It’s in the same building as my current job. Right outside the office area. What do/can I say if I run into someone from my current work on a day I requested off?!?

One time I worked at a new job for like 4 hours and just didn’t come back after I took my “lunch break” lmao

I work in a construction type job and I have been with said company for about 9 years. IAlmost a year ago I worked at a job where my foreman–since day one–decided to exclusively treat me like garbage. I talked to my lead hand, who witnessed the abuse about it. He had enough and went to the office and explained that everyone's being treated terribly on this job by this foreman, but more so myself specifically. For the record, I am a hard worker and do my best to make everyone happy. He got in trouble for the way he was treating me and that was the end of the tale…. or so I thought. Today, at roughly 4:40pm, said punished foreman calls me about all the complaints he received and how people are lying and stabbing him in the back. He circles around and says that I'm the worst…

This particular CEO hasn't been able to keep an executive assistant for more than 15 months, most don't last a year. I see they're trying to rebrand it as something awesome because it's clearly not the CEO's fault. It's everybody else not being up to the task https://preview.redd.it/ufpote3ss9l81.png?width=759&format=png&auto=webp&s=23c1d751c75d861bf0dde902b1084920ca4eafac
