AITA Cannot trust coworkers AITA? This happened in late 2020 for some context. I (F36) used to work in a place where certain people had no respect for the property of others. I had a new, unopened soda in the staff fridge with my name clearly written on it. Someone opened it, drank about 1/4 of it, recapped jt and put it back apparently thinking I wouldn't notice. I found it later when I went to grab it before our staff meeting. I immediately threw it away, garnering a confused look from a bystander in the break room. When I brought it up at the meeting several people voiced that I was being petty and could have just finished it instead of throwing it away and making a “spectacle” out of it. I openly disagreed! Then people started “borrowing” my pen without asking if it was sitting on the desk…

A bunch of us have to fly two hours for a one week work trip. For the 2 hour flight, the options were 3pm, 5.30pm and 8.30pm. we have to fly on a workday I didn't want to fly at 5.30pm as it would eat up to my personal time. My manager called me out and said it's basically taking a personal half day and was unreasonable to fly during work hours. I was genuinely confused as I said I'm flying for a work trip during work hours. To add to this, the senior manager is also flying on the same 3pm flight and shared her itinerary with us as a reference. So I genuinely am blindsided at being called out for booking a flight during work hours and being called unreasonable. Usually I wouldn't mind but I have been made redundant and will leave in 3 months. It was…

Pretty much what the title says, I hate both my jobs and only drag myself to them six days week to JUST keep up with my bills. I don’t participate in hustle culture, humans weren’t put in earth to work until we die a miserable death. I’m frustrated, burned out and severely depressed because all I do is work. My one day off is spent cleaning, shopping for the week, and sleeping as much as possible before work inevitably comes again. My existence is pointless, I’m a cog in someone else’s machine. I’ve had many jobs and hated every single one. I wrestle with guilt over being lazy and thinking if I’m poor after all this I must not be working hard enough! Brainwashing, that’s where those thoughts come from. Just needed to vent a bit to get through yet another meaningless day at work.

An internal recruiter reached out to me yesterday to set up an interview where she wanted to learn about my experience in my field. I have set my profile to openly looknig for work and, while temping, looking for a long term role. I sent her my resume and we set up a call for this morning. She tells me that they are not currently hiring for a role and then gives me a role description and says that this role may come available in the future. I was confused as to the purpose of our call because she didn't actually ask me any questions about my background. As she ended the call she asked if I wanted to be considered for future roles. I said I did and gave her my salary range. Was the entire purpose of this call just to get a range for this role? If…

Hi guys, I've been at this company for a little over 6 months now. It started off well but has quickly gone downhill. There is one manager that literally tries to make my life a living hell. I just can't cope anymore. I gave my three weeks notice yesterday so my last day would be April 28th. I had planned to stay for the three weeks but after a call with my manager I'm ready to actually lose it. This job really isn't good for my mental health. I'm thinking about speaking with my doctor and getting a letter excusing me from work. My contract does state three weeks so idk.. I also work in the hr department lol. And I know my company likes to go after people for petty stuff. I live in Ontario for context. Edit: or maybe I can get a medical leave of absence until…

Back in 2015 I worked for a pretty well known company when I was 17. It was my first job while in college so I was experiencing new things in an environment I’d never been in before so I had no idea what was normal. I ended up quitting on the spot. When I first started there I should have known from the interview process that this was not a good company to work for. At one point during the interview they decided to make it a group interview and had everyone come in together. After about 15 minutes of questions to everyone I finally got asked a question. When I answered the response back was “wow, she actually talks”. Everyone in the room laughed and I was honestly embarrassed. My dad had passed away a month prior so I think part of me was adamant on getting a job…
