3+ years I gave to the company as an overnight worker (office setting). Was offered a promotion finally and secured myself an amazing 30% payraise to relocate 150 miles and get onto dayshift, I make $65,000 annual salary. It's just me and one other person, I used to have more support at my old location but now I am solely responsible for EVERYTHING 3 of my 4 working days. My primary role was dispatch, but now they have added more responsibilities with safety/compliance/vehicle maintenance (I work in transportation), and to top it off I already have to take overnight calls so I am on call 24/7. I will sometimes get calls at 1am, 3am, 5am its just insane how little work life balance there is on my working days. I pride myself as going above and beyond but I feel so frigging overwhelmed right now and anxiety ridden like literal…

I emailed them and there's no response, I wonder what's up Edit: I just remembered when scheduling the interview they said “the earlier the better”

Hi guys! Just wanted to vent and hear your thoughts. I work for a “law firm” here in the UK. Now. The reason why I put law firm in quotes is because they aren't your typical firm, they specialise in group action claims, and act more like a corporate business. I work with an absolutely lovely team, whomst I'm stuck on a sinking ship with. Our interviews were good. We all have varied experience. But as a minimum, we are all graduate law students, with some having completed the UK Bar, some completed the LPC others doing the LPC, and some with double degrees. Definitely a very qualified bunch, to say the very least. We were interviews and given a job as a “legal assistant” with promises of career progression and hands on legal experience. A three month probationary period, and then finally a full time position at the end…

This has the potential to be a long story, and I don't really have a plan as I start typing this, but I hope to keep it as short and sweet as possible. Yesterday, my boss took me up to the office to discipline me for a few cases of expired meat. (I am the manager of a meat department at a big box store) I immediately was upset because four days prior to this, I let him know via email we had a bit of an excess and that we needed to take action to try and get through the product. When I sent this email, his response was to follow up with a different manager to try and manually drop the price in our system and if that didn't work to reduce it early. I did as he said, but in spite of the efforts, we still lost…

I'm currently a one woman's show for a life coaching/tarot card business. I have a professional background in working in human services as a case worker for people with mental illness. So I pretty much just help others address their barriers and provide them with tools to reach their goals, all while emotionally comforting them. I have the view that my business is really just a “legal entity that embodies my passion for helping people” and my “employees” will be people I pay to assist me in expanding my passion. To avoid turning into a crazy money hoarder, I want to share the profits with my future team straight from the start. I would like to divide the profits into 3 equal shares of 1.”savings for emergencies”, 2. “bonus or perks for team members” 3. “reinvest into improving/ expanding the company”. For category 2, I would say “so team member,…

Yeah a slide on a PowerPoint is definitely what I want to when I work an 80 hour week. That makes it all worth it. I’m going to throw away my mental health and work-life balance for a PowerPoint slide. 100%.

I'm trying to lie my way into a work from home customer service gig. Just wondering if anyone has some tips.

Hi everyone I was working maintenance assistant at holiday inn in Victoria texas the first day working there my supervisor was already yelling at me because he expected me to read his mind without telling me what to do ON THE FIRST DAY I almost started crying to makes things worse he threw ironing board out of a room in the hallway because he couldn’t fold it back up. I left after the first day and never came back. Employers are like this in my hometown I was fired from a car wash after my father died and they wanted to come back to work a couple days later.
