I figured moving to a fixed income and leaving a borderline toxic environment would benefit my mental health and quality of life. It feels like no matter what I do or where I spend/earn my cash it all goes back the the 1%, so whats the point? Its tax season and the IRS wants its cash and all Ive got is shit they want to tax me on (crypto, video games, clothes). How do people live without a damn job these days ffs.

I was in the middle of a phone interview with a hiring manager and she said she had another phone call with a client and that she would call me back. She never called me back. Has it become standard practice to be rude like that? I'm strongly considering leaving a bad review on google and yelp about them.

I work for a company that works with tech and telecommunications products, before you think that's impressive I'm on the low paying retail store end of that industry, commission and all. My job requires us to use various apps on our phones for communication, to set up or complete assignments, cross-store shipping among branches, scheduling, and clocking in and out. Management uses them to track time, sales, activity, and for pay as well. My company without any warning ahead of time has changed their systems which require new apps and upgrades to a couple older apps still in use. I found this out when I could no longer use Kronos (which is now UKG iirc) app to clockin, and contacted corporate. While there were others complaining about the change mostly due to abruptly needing more space for the apps file sizes, I was among the most impacted because my phone…

I called out sick tonight, you know because I’m actually sick. My co worker contacts me and says, “I need you to come in. Two people are already off and the other has a family situation and can’t make it in”. I was in disbelief while reading the text. Some people really have the audacity. Like they really expected me to come in despite calling out. These are the same people who wouldn’t even think twice about you had it been them calling out. And didn’t even have the decency to ask me, only demand. Whatever. I’ll be home recovering. I’ll always put my health first.
