I spent all last night between feelings of dread and absolute rage. I can’t stand this job. I wake up exhausted. Work mandatory over time hours with few breaks. The only other lady in my office takes the anger the boss takes out on her and piles it directly on me. I might actually quit. I’ve got one interview tonight after work and another on Wednesday and depending on if the hiring manager is in town a 3rd sometime this week. I haven’t been approved to leave early for the interview I have on weds I labeled as a “dentist appointment”. If I quit I don’t exactly have a back up plan. It’s not like I’m worth much to this company but for some reason getting them to fire me these past few months has been impossible. I need a new job fast or I’m just gonna give up and…

I work in a type of counseling. My old supervisor retired a year ago. My new supervisor has no experience, degrees, or certifications. There's 2 people in my department (there used to be 4 but that's a separate issue). I had an interview with the state last month and I'm still waiting to hear back. My other department member has an interview Tuesday. Of course we don't know the results yet, but they both seem pretty positive. The problem is… we're one of three with a specific certification. If all three of us leave, the agency will be out of compliance and owe LOTS of money back. When my supervisor tried to guilt trip me into telling him about interviews several months back, I did say that he should just get certified just in case. I just know that I'm in for a huge guilt trip when I put in…

Investors look to buy Macy’s
https://www.marketwatch.com/story/investor-group-aims-to-buy-macys-for-nearly-6-billion-take-it-private-report-adc385c4 Very likely these investors are not interested in running the business – but instead want to put Macy's into debt so they can sell off the assets bit by bit so they can profit the most off of Macy's most important asset – the Harold Square building. Imagine all of the layoffs this will cause. We need to update our tax code to prevent modern pirates (investor groups) from making profits by destroying businesses.

Keeping up appearances at a remote job
I am 38 and have been working at this company for the last 6 years. Recently, I was able to relocate back to US and work remotely 100%. I was really expecting them to let me go when I asked to move back home but somehow my manager was able to keep me on with the same salary and same role but remote. Unfortunately, I am checked out of this job. I don't enjoy the work, I don't enjoy the coworkers, and we have too many budget challenges and just feels like a mess. However, the job is 100% remote and I am very priviliged to be in this position. How do I just skate by? I want to continue working and just staying under the radar and have my work life balance and collect a paycheck. Eventually, I want to be managed out and they give me a severance.…
It's amazing the lack of empathy existing in executive positions these days. Good read though. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.businessinsider.com/panera-founder-workers-not-motivated-making-money-shareholders-ceo-therapy-2023-12%3famp
Work wants me to get a certification but also said I will have to give them 1 year or I'll have to pay back the cost of the certification. So I'm quitting before they have the class next September.
Basically what the title says, In the job offer email it was listed that I would receive a training subscription for Red Hat which costs $7000 for 12 months. My previous employer provided this with no hassle. I've been at this place for almost a year and each time I bring it up I get one excuse after the next from 'it's not the right time' to 'the budget is a bit tight this quarter'. Do I have any recourse?
