So I work 2 jobs to get atleast 20 hours a week combined. One a government job and the other for a coffee company. I am available to work between the 2 jobs from 5am-10pm Sunday to Saturday. But I set Both up to work around the other one. Today is the 5th time the government job has screwed me into being late for the coffee job and if I complain the paper they made me sign states they have the right to fire me for my coffee job interfering with the government job. I'm sorry but 20 hours a week between both jobs still isn't enough to live on but getting the coffee job is the best I could get so far in the last 3 months of looking for a better full time job to get out of this bullshit sucky government job. And the coffee shop keeps…

So I started this job 6 months ago. I got promoted within the first 2 months as things were going well. As the work piled on, there were a few projects were I fell short on due to a lack of training but otherwise things were good. I have a decent relationship with my manager, but he is also extremely controlling when it comes to some projects and it drives me nuts. (he was the only designer there for 5 years and they have struggled to employ anyone else because of this issue). I thought I had learned to manage that though. Boy was I wrong. Thursday was my 6 month probation review. Although things haven't always been perfect, since no issues had been raised till that point I assumed I would get the offer. I got told I have a 2 month extension to fix a myriad of issues…
