I have to attend a 1 hour meeting next week with HR and a group of other middle managers to talk about corporate culture blah blah blah. I was complaining to my spouse and realized if I talk about what I really think (everyone I work with is toddlers who don’t plan in advance and expect me to bail them out regularly just to keep the business running) probably won’t go over well. I need to use words that sound like I drank the koolaid. What do I talk about.

I'm able to work and what not, but the loud noise and complicated social scenarios of my job are a major source of stress. It's taking a toll on me mentally and I'd like to pursue something else. I work as a lifeguard and it's specifically things like screaming children and talking to pool patrons that give me problems. Ironically I do pretty fine in actual emergencies. Anybody have suggestions?

Jesus dude, I’m in my EARLY 20s and I’m literally living off $160 a week trying to afford rides to work (no public transportation in my area) If it werent for my empathetic, gracious parents I would be homeless, too. Because I don’t have money for rent. I’m glad I didn’t cause the accident because their empathy may be different. I was applying for better jobs right before I got in the crash too. I would’ve had reliable transportation and been able to commute for wonderful pay and better conditions, but now I can’t do that either. Im a delivery driver so my bills are paid with tips. Right now I’m not making any tips and not making enough money to survive having to work inside the store. The money I make nearly cancels out with the cost it takes to get to work. I have some ideas planned out…

The point is I have quite like years ago. I think I work there in Covid time. It was a sale job. Horrible to say the least. I even made a post about it on this sub I think. Quit after 2 weeks. And then today my ex boss texted me “So L. was absent today so please come early.” Took me a while to realize who was texting me (I didn't save my boss' number, for obvious reason) and who L. is (a girl younger than me who work part time there – I'm kind of surprise she still works there). Apparently they can't find any new employee because the job was so horrible: This couple own a online clothing store, the wife always throw tantrums, if you work there you have to babysit their kids, doing a few people's works and be given the pay of one person……
