I and several others got demoted after 1 slow week of business. Our team had a total of 10 sales on the board for the week, and it effected all of us mentally. I recently got a promotion a month ago, and after we got 10 deals they reversed my promotion and started micromanaging me and five others. Means we get half of the 90% of commission or half of the 50% of commissions depending on the source of the deal + 12 an hr. I live in a metropolitan city, it’s not sustainable especially if no one is buying. Now I’ve been hitting my KPIS never missed quota, but I’ve been struggling to be motivated to work at this company especially after learning some more shady practices. Everyday is stressful and I’m taking off to Jamaica so I’m quitting this Thursday. Fuck this, fuck them. I’m a hard working…

I really dislike that my job takes so much of my time and energy and for what? Just to pay rent and barely make ends meet…and that is despite going through a stem degree and getting into a “lucrative” industry. When do I get to live though? In the small hours between? Like how is 40 hrs a week so normalized? It is insane. And to be expected to just work like crazy just to survive and maybe retire one day.

I got a message on LinkedIn with a job profile attached. I told the recruiter that I’m always looking for work at the right offer. I currently work 3 days a week and have 4 days off on £39.04 (a lot in the UK for you Americans) an hour in which I honestly spend 75% of my day in the break room watching TV shows. This job profile was this, and I want you to guess what the hourly rate was. I will reply in 6 hours with an edit as to what the rate was.

I have a long list of chronic illnesses, both mental and physical (ASD, IBS, fibromyalgia, recurring migraines and insomnia are the top 5). Today is a really hot day in the UK, which was affecting me from the very start. I had a lot of clients to call, which always sets my anxiety on edge as while I know they won't be angry, I have to ask a lot of open ended questions, which prompts a lot of blather in response, and as I'm not a stenographer I have to concentrate really hard on what I'm typing AND what I'm listening to. While all this is happening, our windows are open so our blinds are rattling all. The. Time. Most of our staff are getting new IT equipment, so people are moving and moving equipment about around me and having conversations all the time, including loud personal conversations across me…

I've never had labor day off, but I've noticed that all of my bosses did. The ones that don't really do any actual work. It's annoying how it's supposed to be a day of gratitude towards the working class, but instead the holiday has been warped into a day for management to take the day off. Just wanted to point that out

What do I do? I am a digital marketer with 2 years of experience and I just found out my coworker was making quite a bit more money than me. How should I approach my boss? I have already got a raise 6 months ago but it was a small 2k bump, just like I got the year prior.

My coworkers aren’t even bad. And I do like people. It’s just interacting with people for too long gets exhausting for me and gives me a headache. I don‘t know why. Having to interact with people 40 hours each week tires me for some reason.
