Hello all. Once again I am coming to reddit for advice. Last week I had my annual review, other than a few things that need improvement it was a good review. I have only been at this job for 60 days and I am already noticing a high turnover. One of my coworkers was fired and in turn I was given all of the additional work load. I tried to explain to my manager how this was affecting me and my ability to meet deadlines and he stated that it is a time management issue.. how is managing 2 different roles a time management issue??? During my time here my manager has made alot of rude / back handed remarks and frankly, I am ready to quit. I enjoyed my job aside from the comments and disrespect. I was also told that I would be able to work remote but…

“It’s first come first serve”
Until it’s you taking the offered available shift. Then it’s “we have to go by seniority” which really translates to “you’re not a favorite and we’d rather have our favorite here”

The treat is not worth the chore
Reflecting on my present circumstances and future prospects, I find it impossible to justify enduring the challenges I currently face. Work fills me with dread, and the little time left in the evenings and weekends doesn't seem worth the effort. It's not that I actively dislike my job; rather, it just takes an excessive amount of my lifetime. I wouldn't mind it if I still consistently had time for my family, friends, hobbies, basic household tasks, or simply doing nothing once in a while. I shouldn't have to plan my weekends down to the hour just to achieve a fraction of what I wish I had time for. Part-time work isn't a viable option either, as the pay is barely enough to survive while working full-time. Starting a family in my current situation seems like an unattainable dream, and that's especially frustrating when considering that my company, which isn't even…
Growing up, my parents would express to me that as a salaried employee, I might need to put in some long hours at work at the behest of my employer for no additional pay. Their reasoning was that while this seemed unfair, it is a fair trade off for having a stable profession/career and a nice office, white collar lifestyle. How do you all feel about this? Curious if the sentiment has changed. I’m in the United States.

nothing matters
A bit of a rant. I've been working my ass off lately, twelve hour days for four days in a row. I tore a muscle above my ankle. My phone broke last night, I thought oh well, I have a job, and I have my learner's driver's licensee. I can finally buy an expensive phone on a plan! And the phone company fucking denies me a phone. Life all feels pointless. Even with a job, I can't afford somewhere to live, I can't afford a phone for $30 a month apparently, I can't afford to save, most of my paycheck has to go in my stomach. My friend on welfare and marijuana was accepted a phone, but I'm realizing just how unrewarding hard work actually is. Fuck how this world's set up actually

Amazon Horror Stories
I hopped in a truck after someone completely snapped in it the day before. Screen was shattered, knobs were punched in, turn signal was smashed off, the shifter thing was mostly destroyed. Dude fuckin lost it in there before he quit. What's your best Amazon horror story.
Had a boss of mine tell me a raise from $13.25 to $15.00 would be effective November 13th. Got a $0.75 raise and was never notified about the change……
I also ran out of annual leave. So I'll get paternity leave. I'm seriously gonna do this. Probably a bad idea, also I'm supposed to wait till marriage F that I want GTA 6 and time off of work. I'm desperate to get away from this sh*thole. I'm gonna get someone pregnant somehow.
They roasted me saying things like “oh no you were asked to do work while at work? Poor baby” or “you're getting paid aren't you? Quit being lazy” or “I would never hire you. I only hire driven people willing to go above and beyond”. I guess anything is game as long as you're getting paid? I was just really surprised at how many brainwashed idiots that are so used to getting shit on at work thought this was normal. My boss has been here for a decade and never tried to organize these and somehow that's perfectly OK to these troglodytes. I work at the front desk of a hotel, I can't just leave the desk and go play with keys for an hour upstairs.

Why do admin always protect managers?
So I work at a hotel and currently we lost half our housekeeping staff bc they got sick of putting up with the housekeeping managers BS. They had gone to the GM several times about it, but they did nothing, so they left. Now the front desk manager has been having issues between one of my coworkers before having issues with me and the other night shift worker. He hasn't learned the operating software, allegedly hides in one of the private meeting rooms all day, and when problems pop up, he will literally tell workers to wait to see if it self resolves so he can put it off for after he's gone home and whoever is left can fix it instead. Plus he's terrible at communicating and is afraid of confrontation. Despite this, the GM is acting like me and my coworkers are the problem. You would think that…
