I worked at a restaurant for seven months, and I make 4 mistakes in 1 month. I can do pretty well at cleaning up lobby ,doing dishes. I usually make mistakes sometimes upfront, like I thought a customer wanted red sauce but wanted a different sauce, Or I didn't know how to do a bar code for a gift card. Usually we don't get many people with gift cards, and I didn't understand a lady who wanted to pay for a coke and another item (had a bit of a accent felt bad). Is this normal overall to make this much mistakes?

So I’ve decided I’m done with my job. My role was that of an admin so: – Managing and maintaining files – Making, rescheduling and cancelling appointments – Answering the phone for queries, complaints and appointments – Attending to emails and social media Basic stuff. What was not in my job contract: – Managing all the nurses in my state and a few in other states – Being the Compliance manager which I had no idea how to do and no training for (CM’s earn about 65k a year more than I do in my state) – Figuring out how to manage the clinics with sweet FA stock left while my GM was in another state and not answering any of her staff. Then also being blamed for low stock at clinics even though the GM is the one in control of ordering and maintaining stock – Managing all 3…

I entered the workforce and started a full-time job on December 5 2022. I think for the majority of time that I have worked, I’ve always had to force myself to get to work in the morning and haven’t been able to enjoy myself after work, only really on weekends. On weekdays, I’d come home and just hate the fact that I’d have to go to work the next day. It’s just been a really fucking shit feeling to deal with 5 days a week. I’m just over 2.5 months of working now but I just want to quit and find something else. Is this plausible? Do I just stick this out until 6 months and see how I go? I hate this office job… First job out of uni, is quitting 2.5 months in the right thing to do?

I've been trying searching for informations about what types of people are usually visiting this sub and couldn't find anything. So if you don't mind, you can type in comments where are you from, and if you'll find your country upvote it! Because I can't make polls in this sub, this is how we can finally solve this question. Thanks!

I am a salaried exempt employee, but my company makes us punch a time clock. I recently read that’s not legal? But is it? I’m confused.

I got my degree in business 3 years ago, and worked for 4 years in a hell hole while obtaining it because it was related to my degree and gave me decent experience, but now I’m in another job. I have been at this one for a year, and I’m not loving it. Boring, monotonous, no growth opportunities, EXTREMELY low pay with no chance for raises, and yet demanding. I want to keep my resume as solid and cohesive as possible, especially after staying at that one hell job for as long as I did just for the resume. How do you all do it? I hear of people jumping jobs after a few months in, one after the other. How do you explain it during interviews? Does this work out well for the business/administrative field? I don’t want to stay in another job ever again where I feel like…

I don’t know how people do it. I cringe every time I write a cover letter because there is absolutely nothing of value I can bring to a company that another qualified person couldn’t. I have been at my current company for three years, so maybe it will be easier with some experience under my belt than it was in college but probably not by much. My interview skills are still basically non existent. As an introvert it is exhausting trying to sell yourself for something you’re not really all that interested in. At engineering career fairs in college I would listen to the presentations and then dip out because networking is my worst nightmare. I’m a creative person and would love a job related to music or something and would maybe even be enthusiastic about getting up and going to work in a job like that, but we all…

My first job I had I worked at a drug store. I started as a cashier then moved up rather quickly. Photo tech, worked in the pharmacy, then finally moved to a different store as a shift lead. I did the job fairly well and slowly overtime started developing anxiety issues. Mostly it was the 3rd shift hours in a bad area, mixed with shoplifters, Karens, incompetent cashiers and other issues. Eventually moved to day shift and it got a little better in the sense of having more coworkers to help me out. Worked for six years and I could feel it mentally catching up. I was angry all the time and glaring at the door wanting to just walk out. I was destroying myself cause I wanted to help my coworkers but at a certain point noticed most of them were not doing the same for me. I’m talking…
