I’m so burnt out. 8 months into my new job and i’m burnt out. This is a shiny job that pays well and I have been told I am performing well at work over the past months. But I think they’ll start expecting even more of me. To go out of my way to build more elaborate structures for the organisation that will take the life of me. How do I even tell them I’m too tired, I can’t take this on?

For me to eat a protein with vegetables and carbs at home can run me about 1-2 hours of work including clean up and still be $10+. Or I can grab carls Jr burger on the way home for $9. Yes I do cook at home and have cheap meals. But getting a hold of a proper salad is cheaper at a lot of places then buying the ingredients, prepping them and trying to save the extra. It's extremely frustrating that I am being forced to pre-made meals for every meal. Homecoming has become a luxury and I don't know how to escape it Top it off with not even having the time to prepare food in the first place. Let alone meal plan for a week or whatever else rich influencers tell poor people.

Not my opinion! It’s the opinion from my god damn boss!! My coworker has 2 god damn blisters on each feet even with bandage for blister, he walks in pain. And he can’t leave work and see a doctor, no he has to stay bc it’s not a reason. We don’t have a office job we are working 9 hours on our feet’s… Opinions on that? Fuck you capitalism

I didn’t really know what sub I should post this on but I feel this sub would be appropriate since it does focus on the pure dumbassery of how so many businesses in America operate. I used to work at a community involved non-profit so I would end up attending a lot of city council meetings. These meetings were more focused on how to improve social services and how to allocate more funds to those services for the city. Of course, all of these people were upper-middle class, the richest people of the town. I’ve heard the phrase “Nobody wants to work anymore” so many times which is bullshit because now I am practically unemployed (workplace management collapsed) and cannot find another place that will accept me. I understand that I am very inexperienced and young, my last job was my first job, but I can not afford to go…

I am a maths teacher, I teach mostly 15 to 19-year-olds. We have just started a “practical life maths” class and it is so good! I am super lucky to work in an independent art's college where the staff are pretty much well paid and well respected. Teaching maths in an art's school is also interesting in its own right. It is mostly about tax, self-employment, debt and all that, but it also gives me a real chance to get up on my soapbox and tell everyone about unions, UK workers rights (what's left of them) and the importance of worker solidarity. The class are all really enthusiastic and mostly well behaved, but it snowed today and none of them were really paying that much attention. I kept trying to get their attention and when I eventually did I thought “ok, you see how hard it was for me to…
