I'm going to list some things that irk me and I just would like some guidance on what to do. Key things to note: I took this job because I needed to save money and I want to buy myself time while I build my own small business. 1️⃣ I work for a startup company where we all work remotely. Before accepting the position, “working whenever you want” was a perk that was really pushed about this job and something I was pretty excited about. Now a year in, I realized that you 100% cannot work whenever you want. You have to be “on” basically all day, everyday. They just tell you that, even though they don't mean it. 2️⃣ I get micromanaged like CRAZY. Everyday we need to submit a to-do list to the entire team. At the end of the day, we need to update it saying what…

Wondering whether or not to switch Jobs.
So, I've been working at a in-store Starbucks for about 6 months now, and before that I worked for 6 months up on the registers. But some recent drama and high school all week (I work weekends in the morning 6-12pm) has made me start to get super burnt out. I want to possibly quit and apply somewhere else as I feel like its started to no longer entertain me and thus I feel super drained afterwards. I get good pay and like all my coworkers but I worry the environment is going to get worse with the drama and I really can't keep waking up at 5:30 every single day of the week. I don't know what to do really…
I have been talking to people around me who are afraid of losing their jobs due to artificial intelligence (AI), since it can replace and automate everything, even productive processes artificial intelligence (AI), since they can replace and automate everything, even productive processes. I doubt that this is so, the human factor is irreplaceable for different tasks, but the fear that this will turn into Skynet and will develop a Terminator-like ending eats me a little bit. Looking for info on how artificial intelligence impacts, I found a person from Colombia who explains a little bit about how this is good or bad. if this is good or bad, and focuses it to business as well. Here is the video where he explains it. >> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gT1uJq5rayo Do you agree that this technology is here to help us?
Before you just ask me to quit, let me contextualise. I work as a graphic designer in a very small agency with two other people — one other designer, and an admin assistant/intern who doesn’t really do any design. All of us multitask to various degrees while we work. We all have headphones in and listen to music. Sometimes I listen to YouTube internet mystery videos instead of music, and have the video as a little picture-in-picture pop out while I work. I have never turned anything in late to my boss, and am often just sitting around waiting for client responses or for my boss to make executive decisions on where projects can go. The intern is a little more bold about it and watches Netflix on half her screen, but then again she barely has anything to do. I can’t speak for either of my colleagues but I…
Hello everyone, I have recently(in December) joined a new company. I work in Marketing for a big beauty brand. My manager who is legally my mentor as I have a study/work contract. She has complete psychotic tendencies and is as horrible as she gets. 1 – micro management She wants me to send my emails to her and she want to approve them. She had a look at my notes during meetings and asked me many times to write notes like her on a notebook than on my computer which I prefer. She had asked me to put a STAR on one of the ppt slides and she changed the position of the star from the left side if the slide to the right. 2 – Rude My manager has the tendency to always keep a smile on her face and still utter absolute rude shit. She doesn’t ask me…
I’ve played everything close to the chest the last 5 years. I chose difficult professions that were essential and riddled with bullshit that allowed me to make more money due to said bullshit. Corrections, private security, explosive detection teams etc. I never made more than 60k, I don’t have gross amounts of debt and yet I still struggle. My husband and I struggle together despite our frugal ways and “well paying” jobs. Our shitty apartment complex raises our rent by 104$… for no reason. It’s still the cheapest place to live here and no upgrades have been done, ever. I finally had the epiphany to start tattooing again. One, it’s not as soul crushing as a 9-5 and I determine the pricing. The only reason I stopped is because I was being harassed at my last shop in the most insane kind of way. Main artist would play animal torture…
Sometimes customers are just miserable people. I work as a gas station attendant between 5 and 10 pm as a closer and I spend a lot of time on my pad in the cold weather just because more gas spills and jumps happen to need to occur around this time for some reason. Over the last two weeks I’ve had to help 7 cars be pushed off my pad away from pumps so they could be jumped, and I’ve had to clean 5 fuel spills because customers are sitting in their car and not paying attention because they want to stay warm. Anyways, at the start of my previous shift I was called a racist by a man that needed his car jumped. He asked another customer to be jumped, and I said, “Hello sir! You can definitely jump your car, but first we need to push your car off…
