Hey guys, thank you in advance and I apologize if this is not what subreddit I should do this under, but this is a start. So I started working for a Liquor Store, and at first, it seemed pretty good! The manager seemed to be stressed out but I just chalked it up as summertime Liquor store madness. I have 4 years in the industry, and I'd like to think I'm a great worker! I'm personable, I'm quite agile, strong, fast, I know what I'm doing and I never slacked. Always on time, always came in for other people and never called in myself. I have fantastic customer service (obviously I can't make everyone happy though) and I brought business to the store and there have been quite a few reviews on google for this in the time that I worked there. Which was almost 4 months to be exact.…

So here is how I got fired, 6 months before I graduated from my second degree as a Graphic Designer at 36, I've applied to this family owned marketing/publishing agency as an intern, which was like 75 mins drive from my house, after my 6 months I got offered a position as an Art Director even though the pay was somehow less than the other companies I took the title over the pay thinking 'Hey, this is like 5 years of jump start instead of starting as a designer”. During my time with the company, the Creative Director opened his own agency and offered me a job which I've declined since it was further away from my initial 75 mins of drive and I didn't want to leave my co workers. Besides the pay I cant really say that I had any problems with work, loved the co-workers the job…

I have worked for QVC for the last two years and I must say it has been challenging for my mental health. OK so when I first started, it was OK and training the trainers was nice understanding if I needed to take a day off any questions I had they answered it. But when I got on the floor as they stay, because I work from home, those people were so nasty. My first supervisor told me if I can’t take a mentally abusive job then I need to find another one HR there’s nothing about their supervisors they lie to you and tell you that they have a recording system so when you ask the listen to your calls, if you get a complaint they make excuses that they’re not able to let you hear it for one reason or another another buddy comes to find out they…

Hello everybody, I just wanted to get some opinions if I am able to afford this house and if I am doing okay financially For some context, I am 19 years old and I make $237k a year in big tech. I have a house in a HCOL area with a 30 year mortgage at 2% interest rate with $100k left to pay off, $800k in equity. I have $350k liquid, $700k in retirement, $300k in stocks. I also own 3 cars, a boat, a motorcycle, and an RV. I’ve been thinking about buying another house in a LCOL area and renting it out for like $3k a month. The house is $300k, 3 bed / 2 bath and I want to pay cash for it. I also want to buy another car for $50k, you that’s fine? Can I afford this? Things are getting expensive from what I’ve heard…

I (20F) regret working as hard as I have in my life, or working at all. I’ve worked 9 jobs so far. Bad management is one of the main reasons I have quit most of them. I am at a point where I feel fully confident in dealing with ANY type of management possible, no matter how aggressive. I’m proud of my people skills, and how I’ve handled all but one encounter with management. I still don’t have a car. I still haven’t traveled out of the country. I still have no credit history. I’m stll living in my God Damn childhood bedroom. When I have gone inside of most of these old work places, none of the staff or management are the same, which leaves me feeling validated in knowing my challenging experiences were not personal to me. Seven of these jobs were retail and food service, one was…

In other countries, when people have their rights stripped away, or they're surrounded by violence, or just can't afford to survive, they seek refuge and asylum in other safe countries that will look after them. Meanwhile, Americans have lost their bodily autonomy, are dying in school shootings, and being bankrupted in hospitals. Are they too proud of their homeland to leave it all for Europe, or even just try to sneak into Canada?

I work front desk at a luxury apartment building in New York. During my shift, I sometimes use gay dating apps to pass the time (as my job is easy and I literally do nothing). It’s not uncommon for me to come across people who live in the building on these apps. Mind you everyone in the building knows me since they see me everyday. It’s typical for me to see someone on the app and then take my lunch break to hookup with a resident.I have a few FWB who also live in the building and whom I see regularly. I don't plan on stopping anytime soon and I'm aware it's quite unprofessional. However, you gotta do what you gotta do to make your job bearable. Just curious if anyone here does anything similar or what your opinions about it are.

I recently left my job, but I wanted to leave in good faith. They recently hired someone who'd be working along side me, and their start date just happened to be the start date I got for my new job. I pushed my new start back 3 weeks inorder to train up the new starter. I told my boss when I handed in my resignation that I have pushed back my last day to help the team out. I came up with a training plan and wrote a 30 page handover. (I had started that role with nothing and had to figure it all out on the job). I spent the first week following my plan and teaching the replacement how to do my job. But during the second week, my senior supervisor comes and asks me to all these extra tasks. Data collection that literally anyone else in the…
