I lost my leg in an accident at work and today I was expecting my settlement.. Only to be told the accident is still “under investigation” over a year later. I only use this reddit account to share the ups and down in my life and I post alot but delete a lot so I won’t be putting in personal identifying information on purpose and I'll be vague but over a year ago I was involved in an accident at a warehouse in Idaho. My supervisor was operating heavy machinery and wasn’t paying attention (later discovered to be high) and ran into my station despite my bright ass safety vest and hat. My left leg was crushed beyond rehabilitation. It was basically mush. My supervisor left the property immediately, without calling for help, and later refused a mandatory drug test. I laid in agony for 30 minutes alone, waiting for…

I graduated like Aug'20 and then wasn't until early October'21 that I got this entry level accounting job. Notice the year long gap? Anyways, the first few months were terrible (I was kinda slow but still got the work done) but regardless I still tried my very best, and I work an average of 9-10 hours. I'm almost 5 months in and I just had my performance review yesterday and it was negative. In the end, they decided to extend my probation for another 3 months. While they commented that I didn't try my UTMOST best, which I feel like I already did, and they said something along the lines of – don't look at this negatively, prove it to me that you're the person I interviewed! Not word for word – but yeah. I'm not sure if things are gonna be better, as this is the best that I…

I had been working in a service based company for almost a year before I got a much better offer that gave me a 100% hike. My manager at the previous firm knew how much I added to each project I was assigned to and always made me over work because there were very few people with skill set I had at that time in the team. So when I get the counter offer his assistant calls me and asks why I'm leaving. I cited that they make me work 12 hours a day (on paper they officially work for 9+1 hours a day which itself is a lot) and the pay. What he says next is something that will trigger probably even on this sub. He told me I should be grateful I'm getting to work a niche skill set and long work hours is fine for my age…

Quit my third job this year and my father said I’m going to start getting a bad reputation to which I replied there are thousands of companies and I haven’t told the truth on my resume in years, and that it doesn’t matter, am I wrong? Has anyone ever lost out on an opportunity because of a past employer? I know it’s probably something that’s happened before, but I’m just doubtful that it happens frequently with the current demand for work.

Everyday I wake up, • I tell myself it's WFH half the time, just take as long a break as you need. Nobody cares. You are a paid part-time wage for full time monopolization of your time. It's on them, not on you, for their bad planning and constant rushing to wait. • I look at the calendar, look at a particular date and particular month. And I count things down telling myself at least it's productive use of my time – I am getting paid. • If I do leave, even with no plans going forward, it's their loss not mine. I've done a version of what I am doing now for months and months, and this is the first time I'm experiencing what it means to “wring every dollar out of you”. And my previous experience, placed on anybody else's shoulders would have already hit “horrible”. The little…
