I went through a 3 month phase where I wanted to climb the corporate ladder and seeing first hand what these people do… It's repulsive. To live in the that state of mind 24/7 with the endless fake smiles and backstabbing. Not to mention, how they add no value. They have no real skills, aside from managing and firing YOU. What a scam system.

Reposting this here because the people in r / personalfinance live and breath to work. Go look at the comments on my post over there. I am 19 years old and currently working 40 hours a week, making $15.75 an hour, my only bill is my car insurance which is $400. as well as gas and food at about $300 a month. I live with my mom and don’t pay rent. I’ve worked since i was 14 or 15 and i am genuinely exhausted. I feel like all i do is work and when i get a day off i catch up on sleep. I’m not in school but i feel i don’t even have time to think about what i want to do at the moment … Would It make any sense to stop working as much ? or should i push through

How does anyone not feel awful and un motivated when it's apparent companies do the bare minimum for their employees (if that) and are doing well making record profits? It seems like there is nothing that can really be done to make any real change, unless executives become less greedy. What can you do on a day to day basis to not feel like crap and try to be happy?

Hi, I am due to hand my resignation in at work and am having a bit of a tough time thinking on how to do it. I have handed notice in before but it has been for a promotion/considerably more money. On this occasion I am essentially doing 3 jobs under one role and I am extremely stressed and overworked with no help from management/personal development plans, or even any form of management whatsoever and I am essentially left to fend for myself the vast majority of the time etc. and overall, I just don’t enjoy the job and I am trying to figure out how to politely say that to my manager/put it into words in a resignation letter. The new role has a small payrise too which is a bonus. Any help/advice appreciated. Funny answers are also acceptable to cheer me up from the anxiety of having to…

I liked my position and the company. But after 6 month eval, I guess I had to do another 6 weeks +, for any possible bump in pay. Im a superintendent (40m)Been a project manager, estimator everything. I prefer the field. I was with a new company and here it is. Small, 5.5 mil project was going well. Then the PM leaves. Just me and the assistant PM. Who knows nothing. I pick up the PM role and mine, to assist him. Was it wrong that I asked for a 10k salary bump for knowing and teaching an APM? Fuck my title. Isn’t knowledge better?

My manager is an ass. I hate my job. My dept is extremely toxic. I very much disgree with the company ethos. I want to be chosen.

I was one of my company’s highest performers this year. My manager and the director said as much in my (very late) 2022 performance review. They told me they would be giving me one of the highest raises in the company. I was super excited as the last time I negotiated my salary was at the end of 2021 (right before the inflation numbers came out). They come out and give me a handsome 3.5%?!?! I mean what the actual fck. That doesn’t even cover inflation of the past year and a half. I feel bad thinking about what “average performers” got if this is what they’re giving “high performers”. I mentioned wanting more and knowing that my market value has increased quite a bit in the last year… safe to say the director was pissed off. Complete 180 from the praise he had been giving me during the entirety…

I've had this office job a family friend offered me after moving regions and struggling to find work for about 5 months now (feel free to look at my post history for context) I'm being coerced to work illegaly and i'm being paid next to nothing (1.50$ when converted to USD) i was able to contact the boss yesterday and she told me if i don't radically improve until the end of the next month she's letting me go, the friend told me she's kicking me out if i don't “socialize more” and sighn up for a course or a past time activity and i need to “do something with myself”. I have really bad social anxiety and anxiety + depression over all and i only took this job out of desperation but i'm getting fucked over big time. I'm expected to spend money on a past time activity and…
