I’m looking to leave my current job shortly, as the owner wishes me to return to the office and public transportation in my area is running on a limited schedule ( I live about 40 miles from my office). I plan on speaking with the person running my 401k tomorrow. Is there anything else I should do/ monitor before I go? I have not given notice as of now.

To give context, my former boss retired, and my company hired a new one with zero knowledge of our business and zero management experience. My father has a neurodegenerative disease (it's somewhat rare, and might give me away if I mention it), which makes him physically handicapped, and unable to drive / walk on his own. He sees a specialist in a big city about 2.5 hours away from us. When he has an appointment, I must drive him to and from the appointment, take him in and discuss our concerns with the doctor. In short, an appointment is an all day affair which I have to use PTO for (sick family time). I work part time in office and part time at home. My company is implementing a new software system for our business. This means that I discuss system requirements via Zoom meetings. These meetings take up about…

So even though it has a union, my trainer told me how during the summer months the factory is allowed to have a humidity of 110% and past 85 degrees. There is a rule that if it passes that point, they have to give the workers water or Gatorade. But He told me that they don't do that at all. So during the summer the employees have to work 8 to 12 hours in that heat, wearing a mask getting pimples, even in their hairline. Welts and the risk of heatstroke, the company let's it stay that bad to the point that the building sweats.

This question pisses me off so much because the ONLY reason they ask it is so that you tell the minimum amount you want to work for, and they will then offer even less Especially when they ask it even before the interview! Like what am I supposed to tell you, I don't know anything about the job, how can I estimate?

I recently discovered this reddit after searching far and wide for info on work. My current job has threatened to fire me multiple times and micro manages me. I stood up for myself and said i don't want to be talked to like trash and got reprimanded. I just wanna find employment, preferably part time with good benefits so i am not busting my ass and wasting most my life at work vs with my family. I can't afford a college degree at the moment so my options feel really limited. I just need some guidance. I have extremely bad panic attacks so it makes it hard to find a god employer, and many get turned away when i start asking about health insurance matching 401k's, PTO etc. Is there any options for me to work a dignified job?
