First day worked 2 hours of training the last day of the pay period and then 40 hours a week for one year. Benefits kick in after one year of 40 hours a week averaged out benefits don't kick in for six more months to get rid of that one week of 2 hours messing up the average.

Why recruiters are sometimes taking so long to answer? I did my final stage of interview with the client (out of 4 stages in total) last Thursday. Client came back with positive feedback at Monday at the end of workday. Today is Tuesday and internal recruiter was supposed to call me to make an offer and discuss starting date. Now again workday is nearly over and no contact from her. Tomorrow is a national holiday so she will get back to me at best on Thursday. Goddamnit why it takes so long, if Im starting next Monday I need to prepare myself. Im seriously getting second thoughts such as even about declining the offer if they will try to lowball me. Previous week they really rushed the process and I had to do 4 stages of interviews and this week they are wasting my time. Am I being impatient or…

So I work in amazon for nearly 2 years. The pay is good. One of the pa’s said that I should apply to the pg role. And I asked my manager he said okay. But I never got trained. One person said that they are not training anyone. This is before peak season hit. And right before peak season came. They trained a person who by that time only worked for 3 months. The manager is a lying git. Now I’m sad. I keep asking them and they are saying there is no more training.

I (28M) am an Account Manager for a Technology company, I over see a major company that has multiple brands working with us. As of recently management has decided to also add in an additional brands under me to manage and the stress of the existing brand and the new brand has me at my whits end. I am struggling in my day to day to get things done between emails and questions from clients, the actual work load and then trying to progress new process efficiencies documentation. As of now the one singular company with multiple brands that I handle consumes the full 40 Hr work week, adding in extra work and brands has me working extra hours every night just to keep up. I'm extremely burntout, frustrated and dreading each day of work. I really don't know what to do, I've spoke with my manager and higher ups,…

I work six days a week packaging baked goods, dealing with pushy customers, and basically being on my feet the entire time. To be fair… some days are pretty chill, barely bothered by anyone, but still: six days is six goddamn days. Leaving one day to get errands done is just draining me. Even post-work, no matter how chill the work day was, I feel so empty, I've only just enough energy to scroll thru tiktok or reddit in the hopes of finding something interesting. Or playing Tetris. Any “triple A” massive world game (ie, Far Cry 6) just seems so overwhelming and mentally exhausting. I used to write fanfics but, now, I can't even muster the energy for that. TL;DR experiencing some serious burn-out symptoms, need advise on managing them.

Tldr: I am too mentally ill to work more than 25 hrs a week at a shitty job. I am living on disability in the states and not making enough to actually live on my own. My mom just quit her job in which she was regularly being verbally abused, screamed at, manipulated, shunned, and not getting paid enough for the bullshit she endured for 30 years. We have some savings to survive for hopefully a little while but we're both looking for jobs, but every job involves “working longer hours for lower wages” -Larry David or someone. I currently owe social security nearly 3k because they said they gave me too much money when they previously said it was okay for me to make what I was making At my part time job. I've worked all kinds of jobs in kitchens, retail, fast food, etc. My favorite jobs were…

I actually learned how much better workers have it in other countries while I was working at the new US branch of a Canadian company. There was a Canadian employee I had to deal with via email who was incompetent and absolutely sucked at her job. Half my job was fixing her mistakes, yet she had been employed there for almost 5 years. I asked my boss why she wasn't fired and he explained that in Canada and most of Europe you can't fire someone unless they REALLY mess up. And even then the employee can still sue. The kicker was the US branch was in a State with the worst job security due to at-will employment laws favoring employers. Any little thing can get you fired, no questions asked. I noticed heads were rolling in the US office while Canada was screwing up and no one could do anything.…
