I think I’m overpunished

Hello everyone I joined a new company a year ago, and for a while things were going fine, but due to some personal issue, my sleeping schedule got messed up. So I started waking up a bit late for work every once in a while, not by much but enough to much but enough to miss the daily meetings. And although missing it, they would know what I’m working on since we have a ticketing system. The management did say that I should try to attend them but never on, what seemed to me, a serious note. And even though this was happening for a while, the feedback I got from them las summer was good, this being the only thing they pointed out as an issue. Fast forward a few months, my mental health hadn’t improve, and during a period I was supposed to change apartments I messed up…

Getting job interview rejections bc I look and sound young?

Interviewing for tech jobs (I’m 23 female) and I feel like a lot of them view me as incompetent bc I sound and look young. People often say I look and sound like an 18 year old. I have a child-like voice too thats higher pitched. And I’m an Asian girl. Does this make me seem inexperienced and incompetent? Is this why I keep getting rejected? I’m getting really upset lol

Colorado Labor Laws

So in Colorado, you can get fired for any reason. Then, when you go for unemployment. You can get denied for any reason as well. Fired because the department was liquidated. Denied because he was told twice he was doing a bad job and never improved, something that never happened. This was a friend I know. If anyone has advice, let me know!

Why is the office culture so toxic?!!!!

I currently have nausea and a bad headache. I can’t physically go into work but I can work from home but my work don’t understand that and have been not happy and think I’m just lying when I’m not! I haven’t been able to go into the office for the past few days but I get all my work done and I do the job! However, my colleagues can be so passive about it since they never wfh and just think I’m not working hard enough. Why is the office culture so unforgiving whenever you need time off? In this case, I haven’t even taken time off because I’m still working while sick due to being overworked!
