Why not switch jobs?

Why do people languish in the same shitty job for so long? How come people aren’t constantly applying for new jobs while they have an income in search of something that pays better? Zip recruiter is a very efficient website. I recently found myself without a job as I quit my job of 4 years making 76k for one that seemed much better making 89k plus a yearly discretionary bonus of 10-15k plus all my gas paid for and other perks. The job I had was stable, but I had outgrown it and my happiness was diminished there. Within 2 1/2 months I was let go from that job for unknown reasons I suspect they hired up for a few projects that fell through but there were some other signs of instability in other ways such as the owner and his wife bringing their marital baggage and fighting into the…

Lost my shit today.

Has anyone just hit a point with a co worker and just absolutely lose their shit on them? I work in dental, in the back clinic working on patients all day. There’s one other assistant who shares the same amount of experience as myself (10+ years) then there’s a new hire, an 18 year old who has the bare minimum experience. He can’t do the long, back breaking appointments because he’s not trained so me and the other girl take on the bulk of the schedule. Day in and day out this gets fucking exhausting having such a small staff and only two people to carry 99% of the workload. Today I asked him to do records on my patient so I wouldn’t have to get stuck uploading photos and what not when I could be starting their appointment. He goes “why?” I say “what do you mean WHY? I…

This job, is going to make me scream

So- Just some stuff from a company I've worked at for a year now. – My current supervisor is abrasive and harsh and takes things personally when I attempted to consider her and her tiredness by not asking her about something. (I thought if it was important she'd bring it up) only to be told she “Didn't appreciate” that I thought she seemed annoyed so I decided not to ask about the thing – We're allowed 6 days out the entire year (3 absences every 6 months) to be absent (But she's trying to protect her time to spend with her family) – 90-day probation for new hires ​ I just registered for school, I'm gonna save ALL my money and just quit (and work like other shifts until I find another part time job)
