Hey, all. I won't get into much detail, but I'm looking for a new job, and one looks promising. I'm exhausted, and hoping my current job pays out my PTO when I leave (I tried checking the employee handbook and came to a dead end). If that's the case, I should be able to take a couple weeks off with pay. When I started this job, my boss and I agreed on a start date. A few days later, I got a call from him asking me to start almost immediately after quiting the job I was at. I wondered if this was a small red flag, but chalked it up to my personal stress (I was dealing with a very difficult co-worker at the time, and just finished a very intense semester of graduate school). I was looking forward to a much needed break and was not expecting to…

It's so insulting to see them on camera in their gigantic dream houses while I'm sweating my ass off in my one bedroom, trying to hear their performative bullshit over my neighbours screaming at each other. Every time leadership fucks up at my company, people get laid off. They call a meeting and apologize, say what happened, admit they fucked up and miscalculated, but they never take a pay cut, never step down, nothing. The people below them in the trenches pay the price. The performative meetings they call to try and keep everyone's anxiety at bay make me sick to my stomach

I work in the death care industry and I got an offer and a much better location. Higher pay, management title, etc….. but I still had a lot of open cases and files that needed to be polished before closing out completely. I let my manager know, sent out an email expressing my gratitude to the director of operations, and gave them my last day date and they agreed. I started closing things out, but wasn’t even a quarter of the way done. Came into work today and HR said we’re not letting you finish until the 19th sorry bye. I feel HORRIBLE for leaving things half finished and my families will be confused and feel like I left them in the lurch at such a delicate time in their lives. Don’t know what to do from here. Don’t start second job until the 24th.

I work at a small construction office as a Receptionist. My manager is a very very very nice lady but she is extremely needy. Some days I am able to cope with this just fine, but other days my own anxieties and issues fill my plate and I'd really rather not be too chatty and just focus on work. She completely ignores any boundaries I put up and I feel she thinks she is above my boundaries. She also has more of a friend/daughter relationship with me and she constantly emotionally dumps on me. She will sit in the chair in the lobby and talk to me for an hour about all her health problems or her vacations or her what she had for dinner. She cannot walk through the lobby without demanding ny attention. Loudly making a noise, snapping, sighing, saying GOOD GOLLEY, and if I react she will…

Copying and pasting my post here because the r/WFH subreddit hates my guts for asking this question (read the comments for a good laugh) Quick rundown: My company has software tracking and expects me to be online and “working” all day. But I don’t even have enough work to do. I’m done with the day at 11AM. Because of this, looking for a mouse that meet these criteria: needs to let me set how often it moves. I just need something to move like once every 2-3 minutes not constantly move left and right every second. My company tracks my mouse frequency… has some sort of timer or auto shut off that I can set. I want to be able to leave for an appointment at 4 but set the timer to stop moving at 5 when work is done. not too loud. Not a big deal though as long…

I'm just here to have a little bit of a rant as i don't really have anyone to talk to. So the company i work for has been looking for someone to fill an open position for about 4 months now. It's for the same position as i currently have. The idea being that i would get promoted once the position was filled. Currently the manager and i share the reponsibilities of the job i would be promoted to. Being understaffed the both of us were absolutely swamped. I never complained. Yeah, there were some disagreements but who doesn't have those in times of stress? The pay is decent and i used to think the manager was a decent person as well. The only other person that i thought was paid equal to me was our warehouse guy. Which i thought was odd as i have more responsibilities, way more…
