I never thought I'd be on a subrredit like this. I'm not antiwork per say, I'm just against abusing workers and overworking them to the point where they feel stressed out and borderline suicidal. Not saying I'm on that stage yet but I feel like I'm almost there. A little bit of background: I'm not from USA. I'm from the Eastern part of Africa, a small country called Seychelles and I'm currently working as a Junior Journalist. I had the appetite the first time I joined, fire within me. After I got a better understanding of the toxic (I hate using this work because I feel like it's being overused) work environment. Eventually the fire died out and I left. Unemployed and not making money, I wanted to upgrade to a PS5 badly, so I went back to the company. I was semi-honest with them, saying right now it's all…

I think it’s a conditioning thing I really need to get out of. But I graduated in a tech subject a couple of years ago after working in care for over a decade. Care is pretty poorly paid with long hours and no benefits. So I am used to pretty shoddy treatment… but it’s why I decided to retrain. I have worked in my current tech job for just under a year and got approached by a rival company. They offered 25% more money and better benefits plus remote working. I can’t logically turn it down. I had to quit my current post today. I felt huge amounts of guilt over it. My boss was obviously disappointed but says he understood and they were going to advertise my post ASAP. I need to condition myself to worry about companies less.

I had this weird sensation that I’ve never quite experienced before. I took my pills that I took everyday, and the INSTANT I swallowed them, I had a slight almost/weak cough/sneeze feeling, and I started feeling head pain. What’s so strange is that it felt like my entire brain was being stabbed by a ton of needles, best way I can describe it. It was unbearable and I’ve never quite experienced that, the kind of pain that feels way beyond what you can even imagine, you just want it to end but you can’t stop it, you’re forced to endure it. I kept hiccuping, and felt extremely nauseous on the way there, and for some reason, extra aggravated/irritated, and even felt like drinking water would make my stomach feel worse. I was also strangely sweating really bad. I worked for a bit over an hour feeling like this, also kept…

I’m not entirely sure if this fits here but it has me really pissed off. My brother in law is currently on the oncology floor at the hospital I work at, dying from throat cancer. I’m a float which means I go to whatever unit is short staffed for the night. I regularly work on the oncology unit. APPARENTLY we are not allowed to visit patients at work. I did not know this as I am 3rd shift and we are generally out of the loop on new policies. Visiting hours are only 4-7 and you can only have the same one visitor so he’s basically dying alone. I was just up there on my break hanging out with him and he was just so happy to see me and his nurse made me leave. This honestly makes my blood fucking boil. I emailed my manager explaining the situation and…

Has anyone heard or know anything about this company? I can't find any information about it and suspect it may be a scam. Any relevant input in greatly appreciated. Thank you
