Would 9 months be too much?

My workplace is doing a lotta terrible things, not the least of which are largely ignoring a few food safety standards, and not giving legally required meal breaks or pay stubs. But last Friday my boss paid everyone in cash, which is highly unusual since I, at least, have been paid via direct deposit for about half a year. I’m not sure about my other coworkers, but when I first arrived they were paid in cash- though I haven’t seen them get paid at all since asking to be switched to direct deposit But though this was certainly rather odd, what really set off alarm bells is that one of my coworkers didn’t get paid from their prior pay period. Their check bounced multiple times. They apparently got paid that paycheck and this last one in cash last Friday, so they’re good, but this feels like it should be a…

I am stuck between two jobs, and I need help. The options are doing aba therapy making 27/hr with limited hours a week (approx 20 – 24), or working at a grocery store (ALDI) making $19.50 but having more hours. I want to consider the workload, and I know ALDI will probably be very physically strenous. I'm a full time student, and I don't know if I can handle that, but I also need money, and ABA isn't alot of hours. What should I do? Please help.

Been miserable here all year, it didn’t used to be this way but my old boss retired and most my coworkers quit, me and this new team don’t vibe. The boss isn’t mean but she’s useless and has been disrespectful when I’ve brought things to her attention. This boss has it out for me idk if it’s cause I’m probably only 1 of 2 people that were here before her and she inherited me. But when I bring a suggestion to her or point out mistakes she’ll accuse me of telling her what to do or doesn’t care. And instead of talking to me she’ll write that stuff on my one on one performance where higher ups and HR can see. She also value newer people who repeatedly no show no call and make the same mistakes over me yet doesn’t call them out on it. She just makes me…

Assume you rented a house for $2,000 a month. You own the home and it is completely paid off. You also live in another house that is also paid off. Would you quit your job (most likely a higher salary and benefits) to enjoy life and never work again for some money to survive? I would assume a very frugal life. Note: I don't own a home but I would like to.

If i keep my file open and keep moving the mouse, will i be considered productive ?

After a longtime of working in food service (about a 5 years, 24m) and leaving for 2 years, I tried to find different careers with not much success expect a carpet cleaning company for almost a year, that didn’t work out, left in April this year 2023. being unemployed as I type this and with more then 100 applications in the last 14 days sent in w/ 2 interviews in that time, I have to resort back to old habits and return to the work I so hated. I mean it’s quick money but it’s so incredibly hard to land anything outside my experience it’s so discouraging. nobody emailing or calling or contacting me in any way is that normal ? Is anyone else having an incredibly hard time job hunting ?
