Category: Antiwork

They always ask why you're leaving the job you have. Also in the interview they'll ask why you left a job, or why you're leaving your current job. I'm leaving because it's crappy management with low pay and I get disrespected by coworkers constantly. I don't want a potential future employer to think that I'm nitpicking or just a crybaby. I'm a really hard worker but I just don't want to work here anymore. Any advice on that issue?

I'm writing these lines on my telework time because i'm asking myself some questions. Since my 18 yo and my first job in a factory, i've always despised the world of work. It only took me a week to motivate me to study during 5 years. I graduated with a Master's Degree 5-6 months ago. I were the kind of student who worked more than the others, because I really didn't want to have a job that I hate, and also I love to learn about everything. It was generally interesting. But it was hard mentally. Studies are engaging, and when i weren't studying, I felt guilty in my free time. So everything I wanted was a job that suits me without being exciting, and to have time aside. And today I have that. 35 hours a week (thanks France), a job in an office. I can even say that…

TL;DR – Boss told me I wasn't good enough to run my own business. I've just taken one of his more lucrative clients off him whilst also earning double what he was paying me. For context I work as a tradesman. Mid last year I was working for an insecure, micromanaging nightmare of a bloke with an extraordinarily fragile ego. His expectations started to become ridiculous and so I began putting together a plan to move into self-employment as a sole trader and start my own business. He picked up on my absent mindedness whilst working and asked to speak to me. He asked how I'm feeling about the work overall and I mentioned I felt I was not enjoying working for him. His response? “Well I actually brought you in here because I wanted to tell you you're not a good fit for the team anymore.” Like what? That…

It is really disgusting and sad that I get paid more to do fuck all sat at home with a laptop than actually improving someone's life
